The European Commission confirmed it had asked national authorities Tuesday to start registering Chinese solar panels and their main components but said this had no bearing on the anti-dumping investigation.

"Let me be very clear. Today's decision only concerns the registration" of solar panels, said Isaac Valero Ladron, spokesman for climate action commissioner Connie Hedegaard. "It's a mere administrative step in the process. And it does not prejudge in any way the outcome of the ongoing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations."

Last autumn, the EU's executive began two separate probes into the dumping of Chinese solar panels and illegal subsidies given to Chinese companies in one of the biggest trade cases the European Commission has taken on.
