U.S., Japan and Europe will export tariffs on Chinese rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum related products , export quotas and export quota management and allocation measures to resort to WTO dispute settlement mechanism , the two sides negotiated to no avail , the same year on July 23 , WTO Expert Group was established as a The case ruling body.

After a two-year long wait , March 26, 2014 WTO panel to make a preliminary ruling on the U.S. , Japan, Europe lawsuit against Chinese exports of rare earth , tungsten, molybdenum and other products , WTO ruled against China , finds China the rare earth export restrictions and export taxes and other related systems in violation of WTO commitments . Commerce Department disclosure , the panel reports that China for rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum products export duties , export quotas and export performance of the relevant export enterprises registered capital requirement imposed and does not meet the " 1994 General Agreement on Trade Off " and " China's accession to the Protocol " the relevant regulations. The role of the WTO ruled that China 's rare earth export quotas to protect resources independent of that export quotas or export smuggling measures must not illegal exploitation of rare earth products to prevent , can not prevent the illegal exploitation of domestic consumption or production of rare earths , but it will pass stimulate domestic consumer spending negative signal. However , WTO rejected the EU Expert Group on discrimination against foreign companies accused Chinese demands , reports The ruling also recognized Chinese sovereignty over natural resources conservation principles and policies .

April 17 , Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang at a regular press conference that the United States on April 8 on its appeal my rare earth, tungsten , molybdenum WTO Dispute export management measures related to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body appealed , China on April 17 to resolve cross- appeal bodies to the WTO dispute . Shen Danyang said that the current case is in the trial stage of the Appellate Body , the Chinese side will make every effort to appeals . " Whatever 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. Notably , the WTO members to respect the sovereignty of natural resources , accreditation resources , environmental policy objectives , this has been reflected in the report of the Expert Group were . "

Currently the industry generally believe that even if the appeal is also a great possibility of losing , but time dragged on longer only. If unsuccessful , the impact of global rare earth prices will be more significant, has been the rare earth export price is higher than the domestic price , if the elimination of export quotas and tariffs on Chinese rare earth export prices compared with foreign manufacturers have certain advantages, will rare form of foreign manufacturers impact .

Domestic , the beginning may be play a role to boost rare earth prices , but if the government crackdown on the illegal exploitation of rare earth mine slack , then the latter in order to compete in export orders , lower prices may be competing among export companies, rare earth prices again confusion may thus lower.

In the WTO proceedings against the same period to determine rare earth again start purchasing and storage news , causing the industry 's attention to the news as much as the weak market has injected a stimulant . From the beginning of October 2013 the market on rumors of rare earth reserve, which accompanied the end of December due to low reserve price and bids , then there will be market rumors that the second tender , but from January to March , and there is no substantial progress .

April 3rd , the 4th China Minmetals Rare Earth oxides twice publicly quoted price adjustment . April 10 , China Minmetals Rare Earth again raised publicly listed Price: praseodymium , neodymium 390,000 yuan / ton, praseodymium oxide 650,000 yuan / ton, neodymium oxide 390,000 yuan / ton, europium oxide 4.9 million yuan / ton, oxidized Tb 3.9 million yuan / ton, lutetium oxide 9.7 million yuan / ton, dysprosium oxide 2.05 million yuan / ton, erbium oxide 380,000 yuan / ton , yttria 75,000 yuan / ton. April 14 , the Guangdong Southern Rare Earth Reserves Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. has raised public listing of rare earth oxide prices : praseodymia 660,000 yuan / ton, neodymium oxide 390,000 yuan / ton, praseodymium , neodymium 390,000 yuan / ton, europium oxide 4.95 million yuan / ton, terbium oxide 3.9 million yuan / ton, dysprosium oxide 2.03 million yuan / ton, erbium oxide 390,000 yuan / ton , yttria 73,000 yuan / ton, lutetium oxide 9.8 million yuan / ton. Although several large publicly listed companies continue to raise prices oxides , but the market reaction was not positive , though the expected impact in the purchasing and storage of some products prices rebounded slightly , and did not meet their expectations.

There was news that April 10 will ultimately determine the price of purchasing and storage , but in the end did not have a detailed plan introduced, the majority of people currently on the market are still the last hope of purchasing and storage of sustenance and the end , but can eventually determine the purchasing and storage price is still unknown , according to the current news on the market collected can determine the purchasing and storage of the product range is praseodymium oxide , neodymium oxide, praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, europium , terbium oxide, lutetium oxide, dysprosium erbium oxide , yttrium oxide , purchasing and storage quantity in the original 10,000 tons on the basis of an additional 30% of the self- storage business .

Currently, the problem is that the industry is most concerned about purchasing and storage of rare-earth prices, the market there was a rumor that the purchasing and storage of rare earth prices about 10 % to 15 % higher than the current market price of the mainstream , but in the final official Shouchu Conditions before the introduction of any message also belong to guess.

Based on past experience, purchasing and storage , according to the average price is generally six months before purchasing and storage as purchasing and storage of the reference price, but generally no more than a few large companies publicly listed price. After statistical oxide, praseodymium , neodymium , praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, europium , terbium oxide, lutetium oxide, dysprosium oxide, erbium oxide, yttrium oxide in October 2013 - March 2014 the average price of these six months were 32 yuan / ton, 575,000 yuan / ton, 315,000 yuan / ton, 4.615 million yuan / ton, 364 yuan / ton, 8.66 million yuan / ton and 180 yuan / ton, 350,000 yuan / ton, 65,000 yuan / ton , some of which is lower than the current spot price price if this price reserve, will be the subject may flow again , and the possibility of purchasing and storage of the premium is not large , so if the current round of purchasing and storage at the current spot market chances of success will be greater purchasing and storage price .

After purchasing and storage , if true , a problem also affect the rare earth market is more concerned about the industry , most industry insiders believe is contrary to the market 's purchasing and storage of rare earth , rare earth Shouchu because it seems not to ease the supply and demand of the market, is more like to pull Price . Since 2011, each higher than the market price of purchasing and storage , see the intention , because life is not like other rare earth materials purchasing and storage purchasing and storage is to regulate the market supply and demand . There are many small and medium enterprises and traders purchasing and storage is considered rare just a few big companies can participate favorable purchasing and storage , there is no substantive impact on SMEs , if influential , is nothing more than after purchasing and storage price the case is pulled high , as much as possible to sell some goods only.

In the case of losing WTO , liberalization of export quotas and export tariffs and other restrictions , the purchasing and storage measures are not determined how the rare earth industry into the fast lane to the healthy development of rare earth industry need to think about the whole issue.

We believe , first of all, the government should adopt to promote the integration of large enterprises in the strict control of exploitation , the fight against illegal mining and smuggling issues intensify supervision, spare article at the source , reducing overcapacity caused by a variety of problems.

The second is to ensure that national resources under the premise of safety , market allocation of resources into full play the role of the full introduction of market competition mechanism , and actively guide enterprises and foreign enterprises, encourage and support business innovation , research and development of new products with independent intellectual property rights , new technology to improve their competitiveness.

The final step is to re-examine the purpose and significance of purchasing and storage , and better play the role of purchasing and storage through purchasing and storage and other ways to ensure a balance between supply and demand in order to achieve the maintenance of price stability in the market for such purposes .

Blacksmith needs its own hardware , and only really recognize their own problems , and actively change in order to promote the healthy development of rare earth industry .

Just win in WTO litigation in China's rare earth to Japan, this time targeting the Indonesian nickel ore Deal. According to Japanese media reports, the Japanese government 22, said the New Deal for Indonesia to limit ore exports , the Japanese side will be the World Trade Organization (WTO) complaint.

Indonesia has developed a new " mineral and coal mining law " in 2009 , the implementation of the Act since January 2014 . New mines law, five years after the mining companies will not allow any metal exports of metal ores, can only be re-exported in the domestic processing and refining . This means that Indonesia is a total ban on the export of ore exports, especially exports to be allowed , such as copper and iron ore export tariffs must pay . Japan more than four percent of nickel ore imports from Indonesia.

Beginning this year in January , Indonesia banned the export of nickel ore , lead to international nickel prices rose nearly 40 %. Analysts believe that the direction of WTO complaint date , cause or nickel prices rose too much .

To stabilize the supply of resources , Japan has launched a similar international litigation . 2011 , rare earth prices soared straight up several times . In 2012, the United States , Japan and Europe officially filed a lawsuit against China to the WTO rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export quota system . In March this year , WTO ruling, China export management measures described above irregularities .

For Japan, the complaint position, Indonesia did not back down. 21, an Indonesian official said, "We will strive in the WTO in the end ."

Japan once to sue the Indonesian Mining Deal WTO is not a winner ? China rare earth industry expert said reports from the point of view expressed , Indonesia , Japan , if sued on the grounds that the Indonesian ore export restrictions ; But China is China's cause of action for rare metals export tariffs, quotas and other management measures do not meet the WTO when provisions of the relevant commitments , and therefore they can not be compared.

Statistics show that a large amount of mineral Nickel Indonesia each year about 15 % of the global total. The experts believe that the Indonesian nickel ore reserves in the global supply prominently , if indeed not appropriate for the sudden break .

Foreign Trade University, China WTO Research Institute Tu Xinquan believe that Indonesia Deal with China to limit exports of rare earth ore export quotas similar , in accordance with WTO rules , restrictions ore export is illegal .

Like Japan , China 's dependence on nickel mine in Indonesia is very high . China will not follow the Japanese approach to the WTO sue Indonesia ? Reporters from people close to policy makers officer that China no action ; and Government approved the establishment of the ore processing plant in Indonesia investment approach over the past few years , China has invested enterprises to set up factories .

As the market price of nickel ore concern , the Shanghai Metals nickel industry analyst Wang Haoyang believe that litigation lasted longer , nickel ore prices by market supply and demand for more short-term impact .

Yesterday , the international nickel prices jumped 0.75 percent . Market sentiment very reluctant sellers , traders speculative activity, manufacturers cut production to deal with a possible shortage of raw materials .

Last weekend reported that residents living near the Wyoming water quality, dust control, and radioactive minerals region expressed concern because the company plans rare element resources in the area in the vicinity of rare earth ore mined .

The mine is located in Wyoming , " Sun Dance" Northeast, about 6 air miles , will cover the Black Hills National Forest Park, an area of about 1700 acres . The project is about 640 acres of private land surrounded by forest . The mine is expected to be mined for 43 years .

A sun dance of Indigenous Peoples Randy Leinen said: " I ​​am not against this project, but if they develop , and I hope they do the right thing ."

Leinen go along with the others , they are worried about radioactive dust and water . Is a byproduct of radioactive dust that may be generated during processing of rare earth elements .

He said: " The last thing we want to do is become a second Pavillion, in Fremont County, water quality problems have occurred , when the Environmental Protection Agency considers oil drilling and fracking near about ."

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 .

Senior Fellow Renhao Ning believes that " rare event " indicates feelings should not be confused with the rules , even though Chinese exports of rare earths to take measures to compress purpose is to protect the environment, conserve resources, protect the healthy development of industry , exports and tax policy is clearly associated with the WTO principles of conflict is inevitable losing the first round , many people in the industry start of the event would have been expected to result. China's rare earth industry for domestic enterprises ' self-sacrifice , as the world's " very critical approach , firmly believes that if this situation will certainly not be reversed consume a lot of rare earth resources in the coming years , in terms of these allegations from the emotional nature can stand maintained feet, while international trade, international competition is supposed to be the game rules , laws and regulations, will confuse the two companies not only do not help solve the problem, but may stimulate unnecessary resentment .

" rare event " once again shows that our understanding of the WTO rules of the game too , able to skillfully use the success stories are few and far , to make international lawsuit requires professional international trade professionals and legal professionals , government departments, corporate level , public media , the general public can play a role is relatively weak, protests and indignation can not solve any problems as soon as possible to master all WTO rules , the use of skills, core essentials is the key, the only way to face a similar incident when our will ease.

In fact , the industry need not overreacting to the event , can not effectively evade surveillance by other countries and with the tax , but the domestic enterprises to " knife " can effectively solve this problem. Mergers and acquisitions, to combat smuggling , strict environmental labeling, accelerate industrial upgrading , improve the industrial chain initiatives can achieve good results, and at the national level have been doing this work , rare earth giant at the core of the company will become the industry leader, industry enhance the concentration of rare earth primary products inevitably reduce the number of outward flow . Coupled with state- of rare earth giant " understanding" and ability to execute on a strong national policy than many small and medium enterprises , scattered, small , chaotic situation will be effectively addressed.

" rare event " fermentation process, the level of China's foreign 've lost the initiative, part of the appeal just to fight for breathing space , internal work is most important. After all , China's rare earth industry is unable to determine the overall demand , but the supply of the domestic industry, but can be adjusted by covert policy , many " smart measures " iron ore giants , oil giant is worth learning from.
