German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes the ongoing solar dispute between Chinese and European photovoltaic companies can be solved through talks instead of launching an investigation, the chancellor said during her visit to Beijing on Thursday.
"To solve the anti-dumping dispute through conversation is an important agreement reached between the two governments today, a showcase of a great way to resolve trade controversy," said Premier Wen Jiabao.
The European Commission will decide whether to launch the investigation in September, 45 days after SolarWorld AG filed its complaint on July 24.
