Mention the protection of rare earth resources tax is wonderful chess

China Rare Earth face WTO litigation , the status of rare earth export tariffs will be partially canceled , the state of rare earth regulation and integration efforts will again increase . It is reported that the National Tax Administration , Ministry of Industry , the Ministry of Finance is working on rare earth resources brewing once again raise taxes , rare earth resource tax could significantly increase the existing standard , based on the specific proportion is still under discussion .

Earlier WTO panel ruled that Chinese exports of rare earth export taxes imposed , control measures violate WTO rules , and can not be proved to be necessary means to protect the resources, but also means that the protection of the resources of non-compliance . They believe China by raising tariffs and quotas of rare earth export controls, limited only by the supply of rare earths abroad , without limitation domestic consumption of rare earths , government intervention is not appropriate , then sentenced to China lost. Domestic experts believe that the possibility of China this judgment " comeback " is very small. This means that in the future China is difficult to protect rare earth resources and protect the environment through measures of export taxes and quotas regulation.

But China 's rare earth resources and environmental protection is still grim.

It is understood that China has more than 200 various types of rare earth production companies , mostly small businesses , only more than 20 backbone enterprises , industry concentration is low . The U.S. rare earth industry only two companies , the only one in France . China 's rare earth industry "small scattered poor" , resulting in waste of resources and market confusion. Currently the state-owned domestic rare earth mining resource recovery is generally 60 percent of private mining resource recovery generally less than 40 %. Our unique ionic rare earth mine in the south , are rare in the world , the limited reserves of heavy rare earth resources , the current average utilization rate of only 20 % -50 %. Rare product oversupply , lower prices among competing companies , resulting in a large number of cheap exports of rare earth , smuggling and sale of a large number of cases even exist.

Improve rare earth resources tax to enhance domestic and international market prices of rare earths from the source , so that reflect the environmental costs of scarcity and exploitation of resources, and changes in supply and demand through price increases , effectively reduce smuggling and other countries to buy hoarding rare phenomenon , while helping to reduce lost because of WTO on China's rare earth managed to bring negative effects.

Previously , in order to circumvent the export quota control , some developed countries, large-scale investment companies set up factories in China's rare earth resources area , Inner Mongolia, only there are nearly 10 foreign-owned factories . Buying a lot of these companies in the local raw materials and rare earth metals, simple processing after shipped abroad for further processing or reserves. Foreign companies to get primary products , value-added products 10 -fold purification. Japan, Europe and spotted the cheap " Chinese goods " and even sealed their mines , by buying Chinese rare earth industry and meet the needs of its cutting-edge technology in the field of rare earth resources. Quotas of rare earth products to some extent on the implementation of the already sidelined .

In high export tariffs and quota control , the presence of domestic rare earth prices huge spread, causing rampant smuggling . It is estimated that in 2009 China's rare earth smuggled more than 20,000 tons , accounting for the actual export volume of 1 /3. Lack of rare earth resources, rare earth products imported from Japan, the main country, in the rare earth export quotas gradually reduced, some large Japanese companies rely on smuggling to meet the needs of about 1 /4 . If substantial increase in resources tax , raise production costs, forcing companies to raise prices , it can better eliminate spread abroad , suppress smuggling prevalent.
