The US Department of Commerce has agreed to postpone the date for its preliminary decision on the CASM-led US versus China trade dispute to March 2, 2012. The original date of February 13 was deemed to soon by SolarWorld, the leader of the CASM movement, and the 18-day extension will delay the decision by the Department of Commerce on whether or not to impose countervailing and anti-dumping duties to offset foreign subsidies.
The ongoing dispute has been covered in detail on various PV-Tech pages:
