Chinese firms facing EU probe exit from Romanian solar project
BRUSSELS -- Two Chinese groups have withdrawn from a solar project in Romania after the European Union launched a fair competition investigation against them, an EU official said Monday.
A subsidiary of LONGi Green Energy Technology, a leading maker of solar panels, is no longer pursuing the project to build the photovoltaic park, Thierry Breton, the European commissioner for the internal market, said in a statement. Two subsidiaries under Shanghai Electric Group, an electrical equipment supplier, also have dropped out, according to the statement.
