Has been a year and a half Chinese Rare Earth International Litigation October 26 outgoing messages , allegedly WTO (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism to complete panel ruled that the interim report , supports the United States , Japan and the EU against Chinese rare earth export restrictions policy violation aspirations. Rare international litigation failure means China will be forced on China 's rare earth export quotas of existing policies , rare earth export tariff adjustments , China 's rare earth export controls may have to end .

Media reports said the dispute panel 's interim report on the rare earth (Interimreport) has been distributed to parties to the dispute , the final report may be 6-8 weeks after the formal public . Up to now, the Ministry of Commerce , Ministry of Industry and the China Association of rare earth management departments and industry organizations have not confirmed the news to the outside world .

However, " China Business" reporter learned that , in the face of international litigation unfavorable situation , management has considered more flexible and rational policies instead of across the board, dogged terminal control , such as stress the importance of market allocation of mandatory production plan ways to improve the role, through the financial transfer payment to compensate for the rare earth resources , from the source to abate illegal mining of rare earth resources , overcapacity of power.

Worries losing

March 2012 United States, Japan and the EU to the WTO has brought tripartite trade disputes claims that the Chinese for 17 kinds of rare earth and tungsten, molybdenum export quotas and export taxes imposed restrictive measures . After fruitless bilateral consultations , in September 2012 , set up by the WTO Director-General panel to adjudicate . Prior to the 2011 WTO had ruled China for bauxite, coke , magnesium and other 9 kinds of restrictions on exports of raw materials policy violates WTO rules .

"Once the Chinese really lost, rare earth industry may suffer from ' disaster ', Chinese rare earth export regime will be adjusted quotas and export tariffs will be subject to release under pressure , but the structure confusion, concentration is low , such as smuggling and trafficking phenomenon will rise. " October 31 , the investment adviser metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning told reporters that , in the internal environment has not improved in the case , was forced to open the industry is bound to exacerbate difficulties.

Data show that from January to August this year , China's rare earth mining and smelting industry realized main business income of 45 billion yuan , down 14.9 percent , import and export volume of rare earth products $ 1.4 billion , down by 39.4% . January to August this year , the rare earth mining and smelting industry realized profits of only 3.2 billion yuan , down 62.1 percent .

Once the quota system liberalized, tariffs fall , rare earth export trade is bound to increase , which is partially dependent on the survival of rare earth companies that trade is good , in the framework of China 's rare earth industry and trade enterprises has been questioned , while relying on the existing the breeding of rare earth export quota system corruption are also concentrated in the trade sector , at the end of 2010 to 2011, a period of soaring prices of rare earth , rare earth export quota system rose to 50,000 yuan per ton from 500,000 yuan per ton , with the export quota system gradually inclined to producers , coupled with rare earth market slump , the current quota system basically nobody cares.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Raw Materials Division Office of Rare Jia Yinsong data provided by the country now has 1,594 rare earth companies issuing invoices . Theoretically, industry authorities and tax authorities could keep track of all rare earth production and circulation , thus take control of illegal rare earth industry chain , it can also eliminate some excess capacity .

But the reporter learned that the Chinese enterprises in the register of smelting separation is only 200 , that a large number of business enterprises in the invoices the business listings. This also means that there are a large number of rare earth invoices flowing non- manufacturing enterprises in the book possible.

From Guangdong Dongguan, a rare trader told reporters that they had customers from abroad at the "smell" to change the atmosphere, "Many have a long delay in considering the needs of customers orders, if the export quotas , they there will be many objects of inquiry , the price will certainly be reduced. "

Currently Chinese official did not disclose the progress of rare earth litigation , the dispute settlement procedures , the group will be in two weeks time another open meeting with the parties , review the aforementioned interim report , the panel report if China dissatisfied still have the right to the WTO Appellate Body of Appeal.

On October 26 at the " 2013 China Rare Earth Forum", the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association vice president, China Rare Earth Industry Association vice president Wang Qin said that , "WTO litigation involving rare earth nearing the end , the abolition of exports of rare earths quota management will also be on the agenda after the end of the case , it is recommended first began to consider a lighter rare earths . "

Excess " ills "

Beginning in 1998 as the policies implemented in rare earth export quota management in the eyes of many people in the industry are considered a temporary arrangement , they believe that when the domestic production order specifications, environmental remediation is complete, it can be canceled.

It is understood that after nearly five years after integration , China's rare earth enterprises of the top ten companies , mineral production capacity has accounted for 81% of the country's total capacity , smelting separation capacity accounted for 61.5% .

But unfortunately, not enough to make the treatment results and export quota policy after 15 years in the implementation of the conditions have quit because of rare black chain is still popular , so that national annual mandatory production plans are not implemented , rare earth oversupply the situation has been difficult to change.

Wang Qin available data show that China's rare earth smelting and separation capacity of 40 million metric tons, global demand is 12 million tons, according to the static figures to count, less than 30% operating rate . In general, rare earth materials , permanent magnet alloy production capacity of 250,000 tons , production is only 80,000 tons ; hydrogen storage alloy production capacity 30,000 tons , production is only 12,500 tons ; NdFeB enterprises in the field of new materials with nearly 200 , the annual production reached 1,000 tons , only more than 20.

Previously these traders from engaging in Dongguan earth downstream industries, because the market is in the doldrums career change , he said the reporter , rare earth prices fell after 2011 , the original " hungry " downstream industries will soon be "eat & rdquo ; into a surplus . Both upstream and downstream of this excess , so that rare earth prices in the past year and a half are maintained at low levels .

Wang Qin believes that rare earth price volatility is an important factor in the breeding of black chain repeatedly , she said, the illegal exploitation of rare earth mine is 4 million tons, smelting separation production of super- index or no index at 50,000 tons so, the amount of smuggling of rare earth in about 20,000 tons , seriously interfere with the normal production and distribution of rare earth order. And China Rare Earth Industry Association, Ma Rongzhang in August this year that the South separated ion ore smelting enterprises to obtain more than 70% of unknown origin .

Source control

In the past five years, rare earth consolidation , Minmetals , Chinalco , the color of mining, research and other Chinese steel strengthened with Shandong, Hunan and other places , and cooperation between enterprises at the provincial level level, Inner Mongolia, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan and other regions and enterprises , and increased merger and reorganization efforts, and achieved initial results .

In the event, as it involves the central and local , regional coordination with regional interests , rare earth resources has become the focus of the parties to compete , but also become a lot of local governments and tenant companies "negotiate" chips , and this delicate game for illegal mining, ultra- planned production of repeated planted the "seed" , overcapacity is difficult to resolve is also reasonable.

Jia Yinsong October 26 Speaking of deep-seated problems of rare earth industry , pointed out that part of the enterprise of illegal mining, in order to select iron , recycling of rare earth in the name of election " in some areas is not responsible for monitoring the implementation of the super- exploitation of indicators , taking acquiescence attitude. "

Wang Qin said that as China's rare earth resources distribution characteristics were located in poor and remote areas , economic development is relatively backward, overcapacity is the local government hopes to develop rare earth resources development and utilization of the local economy as a consequence .

" In developing countries, the development of rare earth resources and industrial development policy, should pay attention to the rational distribution area , central and local governments to properly handle the current and long-term relationship , to explore the establishment of mechanisms for the protection of rare earth resources and supporting the interests of the compensation mechanism , the use of transfer payments , etc. on resource protection area involved and corporate compensation. " Wang Qin said.

Phosphorus bonding of transition metal-containing complexes of the theoretical development not only for bonding a significant contribution , and that such complexes in the field of synthetic chemistry have important practical applications . In the past few decades , a large variety of transition metal-containing complexes of phosphate bond is synthesized , and the phosphorous containing rare earth complexes bond is an exception. This is because the rare earth metal ion is a hard Lewis acid , and phosphorus is a soft Lewis base , according to Pearson's HSAB (HSAB) principle , rare earth phosphate bonding is matched. Before 2008 only about a dozen cases of rare earth phosphino complexes , no phosphine carbene complexes of rare earth road, but only in rare earth metal phosphide is an inorganic solid form ionic bonds (LnP) exists.

Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry State Key Laboratory of Organometallic Chen Yaofeng research group carried out a rare earth phosphate bonding work , research into rare earth metal ions and phosphorus key mode . In 2008, the Task Force and the U.S. Los Alamos National Laboratory Kiplinger research group reported the a light rare earth (Nd) and a heavy rare earth (Lu) bridging phosphine carbene complexes . They then synthesized the first soluble rare earth metal phosphide , and characterized by solution NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction characterization . This work is of rare earth metals and soft Lewis bases ligand bonding a breakthrough , rich rare earth metal complexes of the structural system and bonding mode.

Recently, they use the Task Force developed tridentate nitrogen ligand synthesis of rare earth scandium bridged phosphine carbene complexes . Found rare scandium phosphine carbene complexes bridged only by PP coupling of a reducing agent 2e bipyridine , triphenyl phosphine sulfide and selenium phosphine, a series of unsaturated addition reaction of the substrate can even activated carbon monoxide (CO) and metal carbonyl compounds , resulting oxygen CC bond and triple bond coupling rupture of generating novel phosphine compound. This work has revealed a rare earth - phosphate bond does not match the reactivity brought novel .

The work from the National Natural Science Fund Committee , Ministry of Science , Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission funding.

" Starting in 2008 , Grirem to SMD phosphor -based, covering high-power yellow phosphor , and began large-scale layout nitride red phosphor, and efficient development of these products , not only to break the foreign monopoly of the industry the rapid development has played a leading role. "In the summer , said earlier this year , the domestic packaging, applications generally reflect the significant recovery of the market , while the phosphor market began to pick up from March .

In fact, from 1966 reporting Nichia blue LED chip coated with yellow phosphor YAG start forming white patent , YAG yellow phosphor white LED has been the commercial mainstream technology program, but a low CRI allows a single bottleneck YAG Rhubarb program has not been able to meet the immediate requirements of the lighting market .

" High CRI white LED has become the inevitable trend of future development of a single YAG gluten transformation imperative . "Summer said that the current international companies as well as numerous domestic packaging manufacturers have gradually begun to try to use other color phosphors varieties, such as LuAG.

Pink nitrides which will play an increasingly important role. From a technical perspective , the current nitride Pink is a recognized system of practical value , but also affect the white LED indoor general lighting applications to expand one of the important factors , there is no doubt a very important market value and broad market space.

Summer said that after three years of hard work , in 2011 , Grirem domestic market share has been ranked highest in LED phosphor products already covered by yellow, green and red phosphors whole band , the main compound system as aluminate and nitride , yellow-green powder which ten balance aluminate and nitride pink ten balance in accordance with the relevant laws for effective combinations, fully able to meet the high color , high brightness white LED market demand.

Development of rare earth industry , the resource advantages into economic advantages , has been a rare earth science and technology with industry goals. At present, the production technology and the transformation of "dual" role, to be known as "industrial vitamins " rare earth deep processing and application of the value continued to enlarge .

Recently , the Fifth China Baotou Rare Earth Industry Forum held in Baotou, Inner Mongolia . Chinese Academy of Engineering, China Rare Earth Industry Association , Chinese Society of Rare Earths chairman Gan Yong pointed out in his speech from the rational development of resources , clean production, efficient use and improve the international discourse and application of rare earth materials, end products , need for China's rare earth industrial policy, industrial scale, upstream and downstream industries and REE with balance repositioning and thinking.

The market scale industrial pattern concentrated

Rare earth is an important strategic non-renewable resources , in economic and social development , the rare earth is widely used new energy, environmental protection , aerospace and other high-tech fields . After decades of development, China's rare earth industry have been expanding , the current market has reached one hundred billion yuan , and the production technology has made ​​tremendous progress .

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Division Chen Yanhai raw material introduced more than two years , the state authorities have issued Administrative Measures for the implementation of the rare earth industry , trade access , pollutant emission standards and a series of policies and systems to improve the rare earth resource tax , the implementation of the rare earth industry, invoices , rare earth industry management system gradually improved.

To effectively combat illegal activities, in 2011 and 2012 , twice the national order of the rare earth industry to carry out special rectification action , investigate illegal mining of rare earth and other violations of more than 600 , the closure of illegal mining sites 14 , investigated 14 cases of smuggling of rare earth , case value of over 400 million yuan ; nationwide environmental inspection , rare earth industry added more than 40 billion investment in environmental protection . At present , China's rare earth industry resources Luancailuanwa long , unplanned and planned production ultra phenomenon has been effectively curbed, to further standardize the order of the rare earth industry .

It is understood that the past two years , China's rare earth industry to accelerate the pace of integration , has formed a number of sets resource extraction, smelting separation , processing applications, technology research and development as one of the large enterprise groups. Meanwhile, China's rare earth industry to accelerate applications , industrial scale and technological strength has increased markedly , the rare earth industry to run quality improved significantly. 2011 and 2012 , respectively, the national rare earth industry realized profits of 15.9 billion yuan and 10.8 billion yuan .

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Institute of raw material industries CCID Institute Yuan Kaihong that, based on existing resources, occurrence and development of basic industries , China's rare earth raw materials and rough industry remained roughly three bases and two major north-south pattern of rare earth production system , and with the implementation of relevant state policies , as well as further concentration . But now, the international supply of rare earth market is also undergoing substantial changes in the pattern , as the U.S. company Mountain Pass mine molybdenum , Australia Weld Hill , NC company to speed up rehabilitation and construction of mining and other mining and smelting and separation of rare earth industry , light rare earth some projects have been implemented to restore production capacity , heavy rare earth project is expected to come on stream from 2016 to 2017 , it will cause some impact on China's rare earth industry .

The product is in the low-end market, not the right to speak

According to reports, since the first quarter of this year , China's rare earth trade rebounded trajectory . Especially since February , the monthly export volume gradually rise. Analysts believe that the destocking slow development of alternative technologies and foreign competition in the context of rare earth projects , although a large number of rare earth group purchasing and storage and other means to control the use of market supply . But China's rare earth enterprises, especially private enterprises export will increase , leading to a substantial increase in export volume of rare earth .

For reasons known to the longer period of time, China's rare earth industry is facing resource in our hands , prices are controlled at the hands of others embarrassment. However, the recent years, China 's rare earth industry, the introduction of high-density policies to improve the whole industry on rare earths from " industrial MSG " to " the world's major strategic resource " understanding. 2010 , China's rare earth products prices rose steadily , in July 2011 reached the highest value . Followed by rapid price declines , and then fell stabilized, earth a " roller coaster" market .

And now, of rare earth price " roller coaster" market continues , the market is weak , there is no market price, business watch, to inventory , discontinued insured , etc., on the rare earth mining, smelting enterprises have a significant impact on separation of rare earth has changed from " is not known to most people "to" talk about rare pale . "

In fact, rare earth products from the international industrial chain , China's main products are mostly rare earth raw materials and roughing in the primary stage of development and other downstream applications and product development is slow , and the "heavy market , light technology, heavy hardware Software" phenomenon is still serious .

Yuan Kaihong that China's rare earth industry problems , in addition to over-exploitation of resources , ecological environment severely damaged, irrational industrial structure, and other traditional export smuggling of more serious problems , as well as in human resources, technology and other aspects of the short board , there are several reasons: First, industry concentration is low , excess capacity . Such as the current separation of rare earth smelting enterprises 99 , capacity 399,000 tons / year, an average of less than 4,000 tons per possessions can , but in recent years some of the new issues on the project because the materials cut-off phenomenon . Second, the emerging alternative products , such as civilian areas instead of rare earth permanent magnet materials appear ferrite phenomenon . Third, the lack of high-end technology and equipment research and development , basic research is weak . As big as the world's first application of rare earth country , China's rare earth products are mainly in the low-end , high-end technology and equipment is heavily dependent on imports. Various alloys of rare earth equipment technology, nature , lack of performance studies , technical reserves is relatively scarce. Fourth, the international discourse is further weakened , as the international rare earth resources in the country to accelerate the development of domestic mineral resources of rare earth , rare earth supply side in the future will be significantly increased, and showed a pattern of supply diversification . Meanwhile, the implementation of some of the policies that will lead to decline in the proportion of China's market share , which could undermine the right to speak. Five is uneven application of rare earth elements , to a certain extent , affected the application of rare earth downstream market . Such as neodymium , europium, terbium , dysprosium, scandium in the optical , electrical, magnetic and other functional materials in an important role, but more a lack of content and yield , making it extremely scarce elements. And lanthanum , cerium, yttrium and other elements due to the relatively large natural reserves , the " excess " phenomenon.

Homogeneous competition against black industry to reduce

Gan Yong in his speech pointed out that the healthy development of China's rare earth industry , rational use of resources , variable resource advantage into industrial , economic advantage , really into sustainable , normalization of the track, there are still a number of issues need to be solved . As against black industry chain , the formation of large groups to form a stable and reasonable price mechanism , the implementation of LREE treated separately and so on.

China Rare Earth Industry Association Secretary-General Ma Rongzhang that because local protection and benefits, China's rare earth black chain is rampant , there is found difficult to combat difficult problem . In fact, in market economy conditions , fierce competition among enterprises , the market reflects the inherent economic laws and objective facts . Of rare-earth prices from the past " roller coaster" market , to the " black earth industry" illegal mining , tax evasion , low-cost rival , greatly disturbed earth of the normal market order, to the law-abiding enterprises with to a great deal of harm.

Marong Zhang said the first half of this year , China's rare earth industry, the majority of enterprises are facing losses , some enterprises in production, semi- shutdown state , the industry generally reflect a lack of confidence . Ma Rongzhang recommendations , and resolutely crack black chain , rare metals regulations as soon as possible . Moreover, there are other ways the severity of the future to take the focus control heavy rare earth exports gradually liberalized light rare earth production mandatory planning and supporting the introduction of appropriate management practices.

Yuan Kaihong suggested that the Government should focus on supporting application of rare earth link basic, strategic , research -oriented and reduce administrative intervention . Cultivating core competitive enterprises, accelerate the process of mergers and acquisitions , reducing the homogenization of competition. Strengthen the financial and intermediary services, and promote research with the official combined .

Southwest University of Finance and China Center for Financial Research Fellow Tangji Jiang believes that such a broad application prospects of rare earth strategic resources , should jump out of a profession , a single area of thinking , that rare earth development strategy can not be limited in the region , should be placed in the whole country and even the world framework for consideration. In the production , not only to consider the production of upstream products and pricing , product chain should also consider further downstream integration and transformation. Meanwhile, rare earth enterprises vigorously promote access to financial markets , the use of financial instruments to participate in global resource pricing to go , so that industry self-regulation, to achieve real intensive use of rare earth resources .

This price than October 31 the company first announced the price has increased, the rate of increase between 5% -12 % .

In many rare profession opinion, Baotou Steel Rare earth oxide publicly listed price , meaning earth started purchasing and storage , at least prelude has begun.

The first two of purchasing and storage , the State Material Reserve chief delegate of large rare earth enterprises , under normal circumstances , rare earth enterprises in advance a month or so hours from the open market acquisition of rare earth products , then its own products and the acquisition of rare earth rare earth products unified national material Reserve sold .

However, analysts Du Shuaibing reminder: " Unlike last year , last year the price of Baotou Steel Rare Earth in public when there is security at the end behind the purchase price , but this year no such argument, just put quotation publicity , nor know whether privately with Paul at the end price , so it was not a good judge . "

Subsequently, Baotou Steel Rare Earth , Minmetals Group and publicly quoted shares in color , and participate in the acquisition of rare earth , rare earth rumors state purchasing and storage will follow .

And this time , since the October 31 listing price first announced since the Baotou Rare Earth , in less than half a month 's time, including Minmetals rare earth, rare earth aluminum , Rising colored , Ganzhou Rare Earth Group, including four companies , both have announced their listing price of rare earth . According to publicly available information, including at least the aluminum rare earth, Rising colored , Ganzhou Rare Earth Group made ​​acquisitions .

At the same time , this year the state purchasing and storage of rare earth market on rumors of the entire purchasing and storage tray will have ten billion yuan , and is mainly the heavy rare earth , purchasing and storage with six participating companies , including Baotou Steel Rare Earth , Minmetals Rare , medium shares of color , the aluminum rare earth, Rising colored , Ganzhou rare Earth Group . Contrast these rumors is easy to see , as of now , in addition to the color of shares , the other five rare earth companies have operations and acquisitions are starting heavy rare earth .

In this context , the market for state purchasing and storage of rare earths is expected to further enhance the recent market prices of rare earth on all major bottomed .
