China 's rare earth export management triggered Sino-US trade litigation is still an upgrade. Following the April 8 the United States to the WTO dispute settlement body to appeal , the Chinese side on April 17 to the WTO dispute settlement mechanism proposed cross- appeal.

Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang at a regular press conference on April 17 , said the current case is in the trial stage of the Appellate Body , the Chinese side will make every effort to appeals . Shen Danyang also stressed that no matter how the outcome of the appeal , Chinese protection of resources , environmental policy objectives will not change , it will continue to comply with WTO rules and ways to strengthen the management of resource products , maintain fair competition.

Insiders said the appeal focuses on the case to express our attitude and position . This trade dispute "tug of war " has exposed the development of the industry and the use of international trade rules on how to make up the short board should be the focus of attention.

Appeal " comeback " is not likely

Multiple measures taken to protect the resources and protect the environment in line with the original intention of the WTO rules , but also get the support of the expert group on the whole . But WTO also provides the same control must be implemented in the country . In the direct use of export taxes , export quotas and other initiatives , while no corresponding domestic controls to keep up with , so being accused of a violation of the relevant national non- discrimination principle , be the expert group identified as illegal . This did not make too many people by surprise. Insiders accepted International Business Daily reporter interviewed have said that the WTO panel ruled that the views in the " expected ."

He Weiwen China WTO Research Association , said he had expected a few years ago RE disputes occur. "We set up rare earth export quotas and export taxes in order to protect resources and the environment , this is still compliant . But the problem is in the domestic market is not similar to the consumption of rare earth products and prices sophisticated management practices, thus creating inequality both inside and outside . " He Weiwen said.

CIC Institute metallurgical industry consultants Court Zhibin told reporters in an interview that other countries protect the rare earth and other strategic resources policies often have hidden and internal resistance characteristics, coercive measures in international trade aspects of the phenomenon is not much see .

Yuan Zhibin that China 's export management measures respondent " fair, reasonable , but non-compliance ." Therefore , more cross- appeal was filed shows that our attitude and position on the case , the possibility of the WTO Appellate Body commuted results are not great. " the corporate level, the general public and the media on the Chinese media have sympathetic understanding of rare earth mentality , so you can get more time to appeal to the domestic enterprises to make adjustments, but under WTO rules must be observed. " Yuan Zhibin commented.

External trade rules promote industrial upgrading and repair

Accordance with the WTO 's dispute settlement procedures, the Appellate Body Appellate Body report will be distributed from 60 to 90 days after the appeal , the case of " final ruling " results.

Yuan Zhibin , said the Chinese what the appeal will be final results are not important , but the event should cause deep reflection of government departments , industries , businesses and investors.

" low-end export resources , high-priced imports of refined resource industry ills , this extensive , unsustainable development patterns must be changed . No matter how external factors , the domestic industry should enhance their core competitiveness. " Yuan Zhibin said.

Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths also proposed that China " as soon as possible to prepare for the rare earth export management model to adapt to new circumstances ."

" How can the total exports in the future to consider how to develop the export entry threshold , how to reflect openness, fairness, and justice , and how to avoid disorder and export prices are out of control and other issues need to be considered , as far as possible to adapt to WTO rules , seeks profit Nourishing . " Zhang Anwen said.

He Weiwen said that as of now, all the trade dispute in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism accepted in China has 12 times as the complaining party , 31 times as a respondent party . " China has been sued so often that we have not done enough in terms of familiarity and control of WTO rules , this rare case for us again sounded the alarm. " He Weiwen said.

March 26 WTO panel ruled that China violated WTO rules on export quotas and tax aspects and violate WTO commitments. Country on April 17 to appeal to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body .

China appeals on the case , not merely for that attitude , but also should make every effort to argue. It should be noted , quotas and taxes are to protect our rare earth resources, protecting the environment an integral part of a comprehensive set of measures , and achieved good results. In addition, valuable heavy rare earth resources, especially rare earth resources , not only China , but also the world. Rare efficient use and sustainable development is the common responsibility of all countries , rare earth consuming countries to give full understanding and cooperation.

But regardless of the outcome of the appeal , this event will have the rare earth industry in China , especially impact on the adjustment of the export of rare earth management style .

China formally joined the WTO in 2001 , when the WTO since made ​​a pass , naturally we must do as the Romans , to be bound by the rules of the WTO . In accordance with its WTO commitments , China on 84 tariff lines may impose export tariffs , and rare earths , molybdenum , and other related products are not among these 84 tariff lines , tungsten products is only one tariff included. Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Article 20 involving exhaustible natural resources exceptions , that is, if a country faced with the depletion of resources , you can use to set export quotas to be protected , and thus control the exploitation , to extend the useful lives , but at the same time to reduce domestic consumption . China nearly two years, citing the terms of the complaint , but did not support the Panel and Appellate Body .

Some people say , WTO rules on a number of natural resource extraction and export of resources in favor of consuming countries ( mainly developed ) . Once a country's resources to be mined , it is necessary to meet the nations kept export demand and relatively low processing efficiency of resource exports and resource -consuming countries obtained , there is a serious interest asymmetry, uneven. But rules are rules , they must abide by the rules once developed .

The Chinese domestic industry appeal will win a grace period , we should seize the time judged the impact of this initiative on China's rare earth industry and export management brings, and the situation as soon as possible to consider appropriate new rare earth export management. Over the years we have rare earth production and export management experience and lessons from abroad should also be well-established practice in this regard . There is such a saying that " China will buy what you sell what it cheaper ." Here there must be international laws of supply and demand changes in the market , foreign suppliers of effective coordination , and we import and export management, industry overall bargaining power and industry self-regulation , such as deep-seated reasons , worthy of serious analysis and find ways to cope .

Currently before us it is important to quotas , de rare earth export tariff of how management issues . Rare earth industry is not large, but the complexity and difficulty of managing all to see. Future must be long-term perspective , considering the whole industry chain from Rare to prevent over-exploitation and excessive smelting, high-pressure situation against illegal mining and smelting , resolutely implement the protection of resources and the environment , restoration ecology and a series of policies and regulations , improve industrial concentration, severe combat smuggling . In this way , based on the establishment of rare earth export management.

More attention should be paid is that a lot of high-tech products, particularly important is the required manufacturing parts, components have to use rare earth oxides, metals or rare earth materials, but we still can not produce , or still sample and small-scale production stage , will require a lot of imports from developed countries, and is severely counter . To this end, China will make the rare earth deep processing , especially the use of rare earth raw materials to produce high-tech, high value-added products as a top priority .

Rare earth raw materials and processed products wind power, new energy vehicles, rail transportation , new electric light, the automobile exhaust has an important role , as well as possible by the strong development of solar power generation , marine engineering , cloud computing, controlled nuclear fusion , laser device , biotechnology, energy saving materials and equipment have to look forward to new applications. Only high-end applications up, we can put the resource advantages into economic advantages , from a " rare big country " to " rare earth power " changes. We have to build the future together diverse countries in the world , sustainable use of the world's rare earth supply system, to jointly develop high-end applications of rare earth , rare earth and better for the benefit of all mankind .

Inexpensive goods will bring trouble to the business side - in the Sino-US trade disputes rare case, the WTO (WTO) expert group identified preliminary export duties and export quotas for rare earth products to implement measures to China in violation of the established rules , China said export controls appeal to resources and environmental protection , trying to use the GATT (GATT) Article 20 of the general exception provisions on environmental protection to defend . How should the pricing of rare earth products in order to promote the healthy development of the industry in the production, processing, trade and other sectors ?

"inexpensive" troubles

Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths in an interview with the International Business Daily reporter interviewed introduced since the mid -1980s , originally based in the United States , including several other countries , including as a major supplier of rare earth resources in the pattern gradually changed to China -based suppliers . China accounts for 23 percent of the world's rare earth reserves to meet the global demand for more than 90% , the highest was 97% .

This change in the pattern of supply of inexpensive Chinese products with no doubt about . But Zhang Anwen view, behind the " poor quality " is the Chinese art of mining, dressing , smelting , separation technology, "cheap" embodies the disorder due to the production and export led sales price below cost the basic cost of environmental protection and ecological resources required to assume it is impossible to cover .

Every ton of rare earths will also produce hundreds of tons of waste, causing serious pollution of water and soil . U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) , said rare earths in the process can lead to contamination of surface water and groundwater heavy metals and radionuclides , and for the immersion of rare earth concentrated acid will make the soil near the mine no longer suitable for farming. " In other countries , mineral mining, the high cost required for the rule of environmental pollution makes some items discontinued, so that these countries by the rare earth exporter to importer . American Mountain Pass mine , Weld mine in Australia are rich reserves of rare earth minerals, nearly two years before resuming mining. Russia, India, over the years have greatly reduced the amount mined . " Zhang Anwen told reporters .

Many industry insiders believe that the price of domestic rare earth highly irregular , resource tax, resulting in sewage charges are not included in the cost of rare earth market price does not reflect its strategic importance .

establish a scientific pricing mechanism

Case appellant apparently refused to China 's rare earth production caused environmental pollution pay. United States, " International Business Times " (IBTimes) 3月27 , citing a professor of international economics at Princeton University view that " export product has nothing to do with environmental pollution , polluting rare earth production process , rather than export & rdquo ; . " China's rare earth export control whether we can reduce the size of its domestic production of rare earth ore is uncertain because China itself is also the consumption of rare earth products. " " International Economic Times "said .

U.S. This view is not groundless. It is understood that China's export volume of rare earth products and domestic consumption ratio is about 1:4. "In accordance with the principle of who the consumer who foot the bill , protecting natural resources and the environment of rare earth products should be consumed by the body - to be responsible for the domestic market . " " My colored net " Rare researcher Li Qing said .

Many industry insiders believe that currently China 's most should do is to limit the production and consumption of domestic rare earth , making it consistent with the export standards abroad , so as to enable resources to be truly protected , while avoiding trade friction.

Widely anticipated rare earth " group of six " is considered a good start regulate the rare earth market . Li Qing reminder: " After the establishment of a large group , more important things is to establish a scientific rare earth pricing mechanism. " In his view, a reasonable price should reflect both the strategic position of rare earth resources , and consistent with international trade rules.

RE market price two days were no major changes , poor market transactions . Insiders said the report doubts that the income will not so low , but low profit margin, he agrees , with "very low " to describe the current profitability of the rare earth market.

Praseodymium neodymium products, the current market price of the mainstream No significant adjustment , with votes still 41.5-42 yuan / ton, praseodymium , neodymium quote is more concentrated in the 325,000 yuan / ton. Recent downstream NdFeB industry running smoothly , although not a great demand , but the quote basically stable.

Dysprosium products market , the current external offer basic still 165-170 ten thousand yuan / ton , a trader said Ganzhou price of dysprosium oxide is now shipped with no votes at 142 yuan / ton, the current market price of dysprosium iron is also more steady at 175 yuan / ton or lower , the amount of purchases and inquiries unlikely.

Europium, terbium market , europium oxide turnover in the doldrums , the price temporarily no signs of a rebound , Ganzhou area businesses that currently europium oxide with votes still 3900-4100 yuan / kg , but not with votes in the 3350 yuan / kg , according to a trader now only reflect the goods when the customer will want to find some relatively low-priced goods to delivery. Baotou Rare Earth Exchange as of 14:00 today europium oxide maximum price displayed is 4849 yuan / kg , volume of only 112 kg . Terbium oxide stable at current prices 3200-3300 yuan / kg , quoted Baotou Rare Earth Exchange is still strong today, the highest price displayed on the 4022 yuan / kg , volume of about 200 kg .

World Trade Organization (WTO) announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations.

In accordance with WTO rules , China is still 60 days to appeal , if the final result is difficult to change , for the rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export quota management system of three raw materials may be canceled.

In the industry view , the rare earth export quota dispute , although full of differences and conflicts of national interests , but also fully exposed the long-standing China's rare earth industry .

As the first rare earth producer and exporter country, but the development of China's rare earth market was chaotic . Overcapacity in the domestic rare earth mining is very serious , serious waste of resources and ecological damage. Disorderly competition makes the "industrial gold" has sold rare earth became " cabbage price ." And with this in stark contrast to the United States, Australia and other countries extremely rare earth resources , but their limitations and stop the exploitation of rare earth in favor of imports from China .

Back in 2001 the accession negotiations for accession to the WTO, China as promised , within the prescribed period canceled out most of the products ( feed ) export quota , the Commerce Department data show that the public in 2009 between 2001-2006 , China's export volume of rare earth products maintained at between 40,000 to 80,000 tons . In order to further standardize the development of rare earth industry , in 2009 , the State Ministry to develop "special Rare Earth Industry Development Plan ( 2009-2015 ) ", clearly 2009-2015 annual export of rare earth no more than 35,000 tons . 2010 , fell to 30,258 tons of export quotas beginning .

Zhang Anwen said to heavy rare earth mining in southern China as an example: In order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, 100 square kilometers of vegetation will result in the destruction consideration shocking. " Our pay and unequal access to a serious imbalance . " Zhang Anwen respect, protection of resources and the environment and regulate industrial order , it is the policy of our government to implement protective measures against the rare earth industry in mind.

"Although China's rare earth export quota system eventually sentenced violations, but after a full defense and the burden of proof , WTO Expert Group endorsed the policy objective for China is still protecting the environment, resources and sustainable development needs , in line with the special nature of WTO rules . " Zhang Anwen said .

Rare earth prices Governance secure first

If the complainant is still not ideal situation , China will have to amend the related export restrictions , which will have a greater impact on the rare earth industry ?

" RE game depends largely on the price . " Zhang Anwen said that in the short term, the rare earth market may form a certain degree of price volatility . The large fluctuations in the price of rare earth products for the downstream industry chain development is not the gospel.

"fear of rare earth price spike . " Shenzhen Tianli and Magnetic Industry Co., head of marketing , said the company set up in Ganzhou NdFeB production base, in rare metals processing, production of NdFeB, magnetic buttons , and other magnetic products. 2011 to 2012, the roller coaster of rare earth raw material price changes , so that the whole industry enterprises to withstand a lot of pressure . As the rare earth raw materials skyrocketing , even smaller than the profits of deep processing of raw materials mining profits. Rare earth materials soaring overnight over a lot of people are doing magnetic materials, has nothing to do with the rare people who started in this industry , and now serious excess capacity many companies have cut production and protect the price . The demand side of enterprises turn to look for other alternative materials , magnetic materials applications hit the market .

" Rare earth prices , the first rule secure . " Zhang Anwen said that industrial development is the most taboo volatility in raw material prices , the further development of rare earth downstream industries, to promote the application of rare earth material harm than benefit . Should establish a relatively stable price formation mechanism of rare earth products , to provide a stable environment for the enterprise market enterprises downstream applications .

2013 onwards, China Rare Earth Industry Association has released the rare earth industry price index in the form of the price range from the industry 's 25 most representative sample of companies forming daily trading price statistics . Maintenance industry run by the price index , the impact of inhibiting capital speculation .

Zhang Anwen also reminded enterprises, foreign rare earth development and utilization of international environmental concern. United States , Australia, India and Russia have a wealth of rare earth resources, in 2013 , Greenland abolished the ban on uranium mining and rare earth mine , allowing domestic and foreign mining companies exploiting mineral resources in its territory in the Arctic . This means that in the future , in the world or the formation of diversified international rare earth supply system.

WTO announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations. Industry analysts, after nine raw materials case , China's rare earth export restrictions has once again been cut violations, which means that China 's export quota system for many years , or face the end.

Expert Group report that our export tariffs on rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum related products take management measures and export quotas for rare earths , molybdenum export performance and export enterprises registered capital requirements imposed does not comply with the relevant WTO provisions . The report notes that China's rare earth export restrictions adopted failed to demonstrate protection of natural resources , but not with restrictions on domestic production or consumption measures implemented together .

" China is currently evaluating the report panel decisions and make proper follow-up of the case under the WTO dispute settlement procedures . " Commerce Department of Treaty and Law , 26, said the person in charge . Meanwhile, deputy secretary general of China Association of Chen Zhanheng rare interview with reporters, said that at present the Association has prepared the report for the determination of the specific content of study and assess the impact of China 's rare earth industry award and member companies , the next step will be based on the assessment results take some measures .

Reporters learned that, according to the WTO dispute settlement practice, the panel report issued within 60 days of our country can appeal . After 3-4 months , WTO will issue a final ruling. If the final ruling is still considered China's rare earth export restrictions violation, then our country will be implementing the WTO ruling, amend the related export restrictions .

" For now, there are three members of a group of experts to support China's claims , but also in the WTO members , there are also a member of several developing countries support China's position , Russia, as a third party to join the negotiations also provided evidence to support this a stand. These are favorable conditions for China's appeal of the case . " A law pointed out that China should actively appeal , promising to fight v. points . But he also said that the conclusions of the panel report is completely overturned little chance of winning .

It is noteworthy that , just five years ago, the Chinese but had a similar case to sit in the dock WTO . 2009 , the United States , European Union, Mexico will China bauxite , coke, fluorspar and other nine kinds of raw materials export control measures taken to WTO. January 31, 2012 , WTO issued a report dismissing the appeal request China based on environmental or supply shortages preliminary ruling raised the export of nine raw materials, the final ruling I restriction violation .

"In fact, at the time Europe Dispute filed materials , it has been the layout , the goal is for the rare earth testing the waters . " An industry source pointed out that , while the real worry is him , rare earth might be only one incision , the real purpose of Europe and America to the ultimate impact of the country 's export control system of strategic resources .

According to " 2014 list of goods export license management " , China's export quota license management has 22 kinds of goods , export quota bidding has four kinds , covering mainly agricultural products, coal , crude oil and other energy products , as well as a small amount of non-ferrous metal resources . Earlier, after the WTO Dispute raw accordance ruling , China has canceled the export quota of nine measures of raw materials . That is, if the rare earth products involved in the case and then cancel the quota management , then the field of non-ferrous metals will bid farewell to the " Quota Era" .

In China WTO Research Institute of Foreign Economic and Trade University Tu Xinquan opinion, this export quota management system in China since the 1980s began undoubtedly a challenge. One of the most critical is that even rare cases settled, there will be a game behind the other strategic resources. Therefore, China must be prepared at the strategic level , and the current domestic likely " invited heavy criticism " of the relevant measures for reflection.

"In order to reverse the unfavorable situation in the WTO , China's rare earth policy has shifted production processes . " Ministry of Industry and Raw Materials Division , an official told reporters. 2012 began to include more competent departments of Commerce, Ministry of Environmental Protection , the Ministry of Industry , the Ministry of Land began frequently "hit " rectification rare order. Following the State Council issued the first " China 's rare earth conditions and policies ," the White Paper , the Ministry will launch a rare "black industry" chain governance , some do not meet environmental and industrial policies of rare earth mining and production companies have suspend production for rectification . Rare long-awaited plan is also the beginning of a large group "released ."

"We are worried that the losing is actually on China's export quota system of sanctions to a greater extent , after the formation of this rule , once after we found other rare disorder but was exported resources, we can not the use of such methods for protection. "the source said.

He Weiwen China WTO Research Association , told reporters that the rules significance than practical significance rare cases . In fact the last two years because of the international market supply and demand pattern of rare earth changes, China 's quota is not enough, but used up . So even cancel future of rare earth quotas, market and industry will not happen much impact. Management of critical rare earth industry lies in the consolidation of the country .

He Weiwen think , on the one hand , China should step up strategic research related to strategic resource protection ; on the other hand , in the face of foreign products on our resources , " proactive " , China also should actively reserve " counter-measures " . "For example, can the United States and other oil or gas exports also filed a lawsuit , of course, carefully prepared on the basis of research . "

World Trade Organization (WTO) announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case of the panel report , ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations. In the industry view, the rare earth export quota dispute , although full of differences and conflicts of national interests , but also fully exposed the long-standing China's rare earth industry .

According to China Economic Weekly reported that in 2012 , the State Council Information Office published "China 's rare earth conditions and policies ," White Paper , China's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. However, China has undertaken more than 90% of rare earth supply on the world market , was even more than 97% .

In addition, as a rare earth producer and exporter of the first big country , but the development of China's rare earth market was chaotic . Overcapacity in the domestic rare earth mining is very serious , serious waste of resources and ecological damage. Disorderly competition makes the "industrial gold" has sold rare earth became " cabbage price ." And with this in stark contrast to the United States, Australia and other countries extremely rare earth resources , but their limitations and stop the exploitation of rare earth in favor of imports from China .

It is worth mentioning that a total of 17 kinds of rare earth elements , generally divided into mild , moderate and severe categories. Which lanthanum, cerium and other light metal , widely used in metallurgy, textiles, ceramics , glass, magnetic materials and other civilian areas ; yttrium, dysprosium, terbium and other heavy rare earth metals , laser cutting-edge industry , nuclear industry, superconductivity and other necessary , is a valuable strategic resource , known as the "industrial vitamins ."

According to Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths , said the heavy rare earth mining in southern China as an example: In order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, 100 square kilometers of vegetation will result in the destruction consideration shocking. " Our pay and unequal access to a serious imbalance . " Zhang Anwen respect, protection of resources and the environment and regulate industrial order , it is the policy of our government to implement protective measures against the rare earth industry in mind.

"Although China's rare earth export quota system eventually sentenced violations, but after a full defense and the burden of proof , WTO Expert Group endorsed the policy objective for China is still protecting the environment, resources and sustainable development needs , in line with the special nature of WTO rules . " Zhang Anwen said .

It should be noted is that China is a " rare big country" , they are not "rare earth power ."

Rare earth industry itself has a very prominent issue, focus on performance in five areas . First, the rare earth mining , smelting production overcapacity serious , rare earth oxides capacity and yield ratio ( ie, the excess factor ) is about 3.2 , much higher than steel, cement overcapacity excess coefficient industry ; Second, high prices and Gregory under driven by mining and smelting separation, environmental pollution and ecological damage costly ; third , private mining digging , serious cases of smuggling of rare earth , rare earth prices under long-term impact of non- market factors ; fourth , industry concentration is not enough ; fifth , downstream of China's rare earth industry development is weak , the situation in the " nuclear high base " and the kinds of applications of rare earth materials more serious .

" Rare earth prices , the first rule secure . " Zhang Anwen said that industrial development is the most taboo volatility in raw material prices , the further development of rare earth downstream industries, to promote the application of rare earth material harm than benefit . Should establish a relatively stable price formation mechanism of rare earth products , to provide a stable environment for the enterprise market enterprises downstream applications .

2013 onwards, China Rare Earth Industry Association has released the rare earth industry price index in the form of the price range from the industry 's 25 most representative sample of companies forming daily trading price statistics . Maintenance industry run by the price index , the impact of inhibiting capital speculation .

Zhang Anwen also reminded enterprises, foreign rare earth development and utilization of international environmental concern. United States , Australia, India and Russia have a wealth of rare earth resources, in 2013 , Greenland abolished the ban on uranium mining and rare earth mine , allowing domestic and foreign mining companies exploiting mineral resources in its territory in the Arctic . This means that in the future , in the world or the formation of diversified international rare earth supply system.
