BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's environment ministry is considering launching anti-dumping proceedings against China over its financial support for solar power firms amid a bitter price war in the industry that has left many German panel producers fighting for survival.

Altmaier also recently suggested higher import duties as another way to prevent price dumping.
