Rare regulation should start from the source

Recent days, news of the rare earth frequent trading, South Exchange Trading Center Rare rising prices ushered in a golden period. Official data show that as of June 18, the total volume of rare earth products in a single day approaching one million hand, the total turnover is over 33 million, reaching 33,144,279.44 yuan. The industry believes that the Internet + help thinking of the Southern Rare Earth Stock Exchange financial transactions surging. In fact, the country's rare earth industry is now supporting a pushing hand fame. Since March this year, a series of favorable policies to emerge, such as rare earth strategic reserve, rare earth resource tax increase is expected to become more uncertain futures and other rare earths, which are so rare once again become the focus of attention.

So, how should promote faster development of China's rare earth industry? In an interview with reporters, the Ministry of Industry and Information Office Director rare JiaYinSong said that at present, China's rare earth work around the rational development and efficient use of rare earth resources, the implementation of cleaner production and eco-mine construction, to achieve the goals of sustainable development and deployment of high-end applications , or the healthy development of rare earth industry will set off a new upsurge.

Sources chaos requires concerted efforts

Recently, the inspection team China Economic Net reporter with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Land Resources, Ministry of Environmental Protection, General Administration of Customs, State Administration of Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the State Administration of Work Safety and other relevant ministries, in-depth to Hunan, Guangxi and other provinces of rare earth mining, production and distribution companies, found a series of problems, individual counties (cities) there are local protectionism.

"summarized in the following phenomena: the illegal trade enterprises operating rare earth minerals, rare earth mining law, some companies with 'rare earth recycling' in the name of illegal reselling of minerals, individual local governments condone illegal mining. Ministry staff of the Office of Rare Earth "has repeatedly rate the inspection team to trace the line of Shi Yaoqiang told reporters.

So, how should regulate the market environment? MIIT RE Office official said, has gradually introduced a targeted regulations to crack down on smuggling of rare earth to improve the relevant laws and regulations, crack down on unauthorized mining behavior. At the same time, strengthen the supervision of mining areas, improve the rare earth invoice system, but also the introduction of rare earth invoices as soon as possible to use and management rules, companies are required to issue invoices rare earth mining and mandatory targets, linked to environmental indicators and enterprise scale.

"Since June 1, 2012, we established a rare earth invoice management monitoring and early warning systems. Means to take full advantage of tax information, the VAT closely manage the 'summonsed tax' this key, the rare earth enterprises invoice included VAT control system security Kanji security project management, a comprehensive collection of information and its invoice monitoring, to promote standardized management of the rare earth industry provides a new tool. From June 2012 to June 2013, there are 1,571 rare earth enterprises into the VAT control system security Kanji security project management. "Check the group members, the State Administration of Taxation staff Wei Zhiguo said.

Faced with increasingly severe pressure on resources and environmental pressures, the Chinese government in recent years to strengthen and improve the high pollution, high energy consumption of the integrated management of resource products, and in recent years began to rectify the rare earth industry chain, to take total production control, and other ways to improve industry access threshold, remediation industry chaos.

It is understood that by strengthening the joint law enforcement, rare special rectification has been made ​​effective: earnestly safeguard the orderly development of rare earth minerals; rare illegal, illegal production and effectively curb the trend; rare corporate environmental protection has been greatly improved; effective prevention and containment the smuggling of rare earth export momentum.

Take "three governance" remedy

Of course, let the rare earth industry chaos to get a more thorough cure, must open a more targeted "recipe." In JiaYinSong it seems, can be summarized as six words: combat confusion, governing scattered, cure.

First, order or disorder. In simple terms, is to combat illegal mining of private dug illegally processing, illegal smuggling and other illegal activities. Last year, eight state ministries jointly conducted a special regulation on illegal activities of illegal high-pressure situation, but clearly this situation is not just "scrape wind", but to gradually form a mechanism to seek departmental efforts and policy efforts. Meanwhile, in the fight against illegal illegal activities, it will also mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, to play a supervisory role in society. JiaYinSong said that last year, as the starting point to the invoices, the relevant departments of the sources of resources were reviewed. Southern region, focusing on management and mining smelting separation plant; northern region, will focus on the review of the mine. "The mines are mostly north-scale mining, therefore, the source of good governance, market order and stability will be appropriate. And mine south mostly scattered, and forest rights, mineral rights, land rights are intertwined, just grab mine is not practical, must be combined with smelting separation plant. Filing storage, dynamic tracking, focusing on supervision, social supervision, in order to form a disorder in mechanism. "JiaYinSong said.

Second, the rule scattered. At present, there are hundreds of smelting separation plant, mine has a mining permit also has more than 120 factories means that the number of excessive industry concentration is not enough, but to change this state of dispersion requires the formation of large groups. China currently has begun to have a "group of six" rare earth industry pattern. So, how to make "six group" to solve problems in the development of good scattered on the market do? "To continue to promote the Group's management and 'Sunshine Project'. "JiaYinSong told reporters that the main use of market-based instruments and economic means, but also assisted by administrative means, to promote policies and measures related to landing. First, smelting separation plant and mining group management full coverage, publicity-related businesses open. If drifted away from our management may smelting separation plant and mine compliance questioned. Second, to implement the "Sunshine Project." After the formation of the group formed to take the lead role in maintaining market order, do not purchase the product for violations of law, no processing.

"Iron ore is widely distributed in the world, but the Big Three accounted for 70% of its international trade. China's iron ore imports have more than 700 million tons a year, a huge number but did not speak. Therefore, China's rare earth industry can not repeat the same mistakes, we must govern from the source to solve the problem of concentration is not high. "JiaYinSong said.

Once again, a permanent cure. "In the process of rectifying the market order, the formation of the Group will encounter the problem of inadequate laws, there will be insufficient time to time in accordance with law, and therefore, in order to achieve the healthy development of rare earth industry fundamentally, we must improve policies and regulations , the use of market solutions to development challenges currently experiencing. "JiaYinSong told reporters.

Many industry experts believe that the first is a large rare earth enterprises to accelerate the Group's strategy. Clear by Steel, Minmetals, Chinalco, Guangdong earth, Ganzhou Rare Earth, Xiamen Tungsten six subjects for the integration of large enterprise groups, by association, merger, reorganization, etc., to improve industrial concentration. The second is to improve the structure of China's rare earth export trade, strict control of exports of primary products, and actively develop high value-added products. Third, the use of fiscal policy to strengthen the industry regulator. Depending on the degree of importance of resources, resource tax levy different tax rates, raise the cost of production of rare earth industry, eliminate backward production capacity; rare earth resource tax for environmental governance to achieve sustainable development of rare earth resources; For the use of advanced production technology and environmental standards of corporate , allowing enterprises to obtain loans from banks secured rare alleviate the problem of corporate capital chain tension.

Recently, this reporter was informed from the authorities, the relevant departments are working to improve the brewing again rare earth resources tax, estimated the introduction of the second half. Zhu Yuhua, vice president of technical and economic study of non-ferrous metals admitted to reporters, rare earth resource tax rate improved to enhance the market price of rare earths from the source, so that reflects the scarcity and environmental costs of mining resources and changing supply and demand through price increases relations, will effectively reduce smuggling and other countries to buy rare earth hoarding phenomenon is an important means to control the rare earth industry.

Innovation and promote industrial upgrading

"Insiders are aware that China's rare earth problem, manifested in the outlet end, but the roots of their long-standing abuse or domestic rare earth industry: In addition to indiscriminate digging abuse, environmental pollution, excess capacity, the most important thing is downstream applications industry, many from the international advanced level there is a big gap. "CCID Institute of Industrial Research Institute of raw materials had Kun told reporters.

Innovation capability of high-end products in the field of rare earth needs to be improved. Therefore, to improve independent innovation, promote industrial upgrading is to improve the overall competitiveness of China's rare earth industry's key initiatives. The first is the development of national IP strategies rare accelerate the accumulation of core patents through overseas acquisitions, etc., to improve the patent portfolio; followed around the base of key patents to develop, to develop new materials with rare earth intellectual property rights; Furthermore actively with foreign companies cooperation, encourage foreign investment in the development and production of high-end China's rare earth products, and promote the extension of China's rare earth industry chain.
