Two of the major European solar trade associations, the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) and SolarPower Europe (SPE), have called for EU policymakers to take measures supporting European solar manufacturing.
A new research project, announced this week, will seek to bolster intellectual property (IP) and patent protection for European companies developing new solar cell technologies.
The EU has confirmed that it will pursue ways to support the European solar manufacturing industry, following discussions today (4t March) between the European Commission and solar industry representatives.
