有人将限制中国太阳能电池板出口已经达成的谈判协议与过去钢铁及消费电子业“自愿出口限制 ” （ Vers）或“有序营销安排 ” ， 特别是20世纪80年代日本承诺用于对美出口的限制和安排进行了对比。
Some have compared the negotiated agreements to limit China’s solar-panel exports to past “voluntary export restraints” (VERs) or “orderly marketing arrangements” in the steel and consumer-electronic industries, especially those that Japan agreed to apply to its exports to the US in the 1980’s.
