According to reports, China 's rare earth export quota for 2010 will be reduced by 40% , this results in the consumption of rare earth metals and related industries in developed economies panic . Rare has an irreplaceable role in solar panels , electric car batteries and a large number of high-tech products such as smart phones , there are also the "industrial vitamins " in the title . In 2014 the first batch of rare earth export quota of 15,110 tons , a decrease of 2.5 % compared with the first batch of rare earth export quotas last year .

Rare case highlights the West " rule discriminatory "

NEW YORK, March 26 evening 9:00 , the WTO panel report released on " the United States, European Union, Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related case" is given for the case of preliminary As a result, believes that the implementation of China's rare earth products such as export taxes and export quotas violate the provisions of the WTO framework .

In fact, China has already done the worst mental preparation and the necessary responses. In rare cases , for example, China has not only implemented the rare earth mining , production , rare earth series of special VAT invoice management systems , but also for three consecutive years to carry out rare earth mining , production , environmental protection, the fight against the smuggling of special rectification actions.

"You could say , even if it is the final award , for China 's rare earth industry is by no means a devastating blow. " Ministry of Commerce, Law Department official who asked not to be named to the China news agency reporter Zhi Chu , nine kinds of raw materials export case in 2012 is considered to be the final decision of rare cases " preview " that the final ruling China " loser " China then adjusted in accordance with the ruling . So far, nine kinds of raw materials and stable development of the industry in question , and no major problems .

In view of this , there is reason to believe that China 's rare earth industry and will not encounter the foreign media speculation " devastating blow " , China 's rare earth exports will not be staged , " Qian Kun Da Nuo " , return once the "cabbage price . " China only in respect penance "Strength" on the basis of WTO ruling on export restrictions of rare earth mining and more refined measures in order to take a dip in the international market at the same time to achieve the objective of protecting resources and the environment .

On the rare earths issue, China is really a "monopoly of resources , to raise prices bullies " do? Obviously not . The so-called rare earths , is Mendeleev's periodic table of the last 17 ​​rare elements collectively , the international trade of rare earth today , almost China to other countries to sell rare earths , rare earths and rare earth application level major importing countries is much higher than China , and unceremoniously technology blockade against China . It is particularly worth mentioning is that the advantages of the United States and other countries on the application of rare earth embodied in military technology as the forerunner in the field of high-precision -guided , satellite, detection, communications, laser and so on. In addition, because they do not control pricing and export of primary products are the most primitive , Chinese exports of rare earth price per kilogram was cheaper to just 18 yuan , while the international market price of up to $ 1,000 / kg. According to Chinese experts as saying that China sold the gold price of potatoes .

China WTO Research Association , Zhou said , is a rare non-renewable resources, we dug sale of own resources , then the future will not buy from others is the price. In 2009, China began to adjust the rare earth export policy .

Yesterday in the U.S., Japan and Europe , the words by the media as a " major news " to announce . Make them happy is the World Trade Organization (WTO) after two years of trade-offs , in the 26th ruling Chinese rare earth export restrictions practices contrary to WTO rules , China in the battle to protect its rare earth resources in the battle lost . In accordance with the usual Western view, the development of high-tech is a rare indispensable strategic resource , from smart phones to missile guidance are inseparable "industrial vitamins ." But over the years, China has to account for only 23 percent of the world's total reserves reserve supply 95% of the world 's rare earth production , not only low prices was like " selling gold potatoes price" , there is a huge environmental cost to pay . When China began to realize that the problem is serious restrictions of rare earth exports , the United States and Japan has shown impatience , one after another to say "no ." WTO26 day for their opinion felt partial to make China the world's dangerous and unfair rules of the game . Lost the lawsuit , then how to do ? This is not only a test of China 's wisdom , but also related to unfair era " world to enjoy cheap Chinese rare earth" can not end .

"As a contribution to the country , China over the years to meet the global demand for rare earths , countries deserve to understand, especially considering China to pay a huge environmental cost for the production of rare earths. Even in developed countries lips do not say thank , at least have the heart to say thank . " Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths 27, " Global Times " said.

China will continue for many years to cancel rare earth export quotas ? World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling released report on Chinese exports of rare earths dispute resolution , litigation support requirements of the U.S., EU and Japan , ruled in violation of the rules on China 's rare earth export restrictions imposed .

Commerce Department of Treaty and Law Department official responded that China is currently evaluating the report panel decisions , and resolve to do a proper follow-up procedures under the WTO dispute .

Expert Group on WTO dispute settlement mechanism in the report said that China , including 17 kinds of rare earth materials, such as tungsten and molybdenum export restrictions imposed three . Difference is that on the rare earth export tariffs on raw materials in many forms , and for a certain time period exports imposed quotas, as well as to specific restrictions on the export of these raw materials enterprise rights .

This is from the rare case began in March 2012 , the tug of war after nearly two years after losing the Chinese side has been identified .

WTO could have a fight , this one is about environmental protection , " explained WTO is not the adoption of losing this one, because the reason for taking a quota policy is environmentally friendly ."

In fact, when this lawsuit began , the Chinese side to do the worst .

"State of the original idea should be by the WTO Appellate this time, accelerating the integration of rare earth enterprises , even if ultimately unsuccessful , it is possible to form a strong and large group of foreign high efficiency docking. " Baotou a rare case of corporate executives to the reporter said.

Earlier newspaper reports, although rare is a small industry, but indiscriminate digging abuse , environmental pollution, excess capacity has been plagued this industry, China two years ago began a strong consolidation and gradually determine the formation of rare large corporations strategy.

Correcting our precious earth resources disorderly indiscriminate destruction of ecological phenomena , to the source of rare earth mining, production started , so as to follow the market rules to regulate the rare earth industry in order to make China's rare earth industry sustained and healthy development.

Yesterday, the WTO announced the United States and Europe v. Chinese 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. This means that China 's export quota system for many years , or face the end.

The prosecution of this case is United States and Europe , largely for the purpose of prosecution at the lowest price to buy rare earths. China is the world's most abundant rare earth resources in the country . But there was a period of domestic disorderly exploitation , resulting in the exploitation of rare earth resources in the local environment has been severely damaged. In both north and south China Rare Earth powerhouse - Inner Mongolia Baotou and Jiangxi Ganzhou , for example, due to indiscriminate Baotou cause water pollution, the threat of the Yellow River water quality and safety , and Ganzhou Rare Earth cause indiscriminate source of Dongjiang water system was severely damaged, preliminary estimates restore the ecological needs at least 38 billion yuan . Any resource -rich regions of the world are overflowing with places to leave our region was only an ecological indiscriminate destruction of rare earth . On the other hand , due to the rare disorder caused by indiscriminate export of cut-throat competition , the international price of rare earths was equivalent to cabbage.

It is sad in our precious earth resources , precisely for the purpose of protecting resources and the environment , the Chinese government has taken the rare earth and other related products export taxes and export quota management measures. Now, however, he was determined not to comply with WTO rules and WTO related to China's WTO commitments .

In this regard, we appeal at the same time , we must consider the source of the industry norm .

WTO recognize the principle of sovereignty of resources , recognized the rights of Chinese development in a sustainable manner the exercise of sovereignty over natural resources , agreed with China to implement the integrated resource protection policies , and the efforts made ​​by China in terms of resource conservation affirmed . In other words , it does not identify China 's rare earth export prices should be " loess price" , "cabbage price" , nor that the Chinese rare earth mining can not repair the damage to the local ecology or local ecological sufficient to local compensation . WTO only that China's exports of rare earth resources can not be applied to the quota system .

China 's rare earth, of course, belongs to China . But at a higher level use of resources on the planet also belongs to all mankind , just under the principle of sovereign resources , the need for equivalent exchange . In the context of economic globalization, the more necessary in the global exchange of equal freedom and equality .

Therefore , to correct our precious earth resources disorderly indiscriminate destruction of ecological phenomena , to the source of rare earth mining , production started , so as to follow the market rules to regulate the rare earth industry , in order to cure the rare earth industry in chaos , in order to make our sustained and healthy development of rare earth industry . And simple just stuck to the export quota for this session , only be regarded as a palliative approach.

In recent years, our country has already begun at the source of the regulation of rare earth industry , and now WTO veto of export quotas , but can contribute to accelerate the improvement of China's rare earth industry source. And get remediation , regulate rare earth industry , the export of rare earth will certainly reach a reasonable price . So, no matter the final outcome, United States and Europe think of " loess price" , "cabbage price" China's imports of rare earth resources, is impossible.

Rare Chinese international litigation lasted for two years, with the preliminary results , the World Trade Organization ruled that China's export management products involved violations. This again shows that some developed economies still use the rules , by the real name of fair trade trip trade discrimination .

In recent years , the Chinese Government to strengthen and continue to improve on some resource products , especially high pollution, high energy consumption, consumption management resource products , the purpose is to protect resources and the environment and achieve sustainable development , no intention by way of trade-distorting protect domestic industries .

At the same time , though WTO rules require its members to eliminate export restrictions , but provides for two exemptions , namely, " to protect people , animal or plant life or health measures ," and " the protection available measures of exhaustible natural resources if such measures with restrictions on domestic production or consumption with the implementation . " Thus, the Chinese restrictions on rare earth exports of exhaustible natural resources is also well-founded .

Today, in addition to the rare earth dysprosium products market prices continue to decline , most product prices will remain stable weak . Dysprosium oxide prices fell after consecutive complete return to a mid- late transaction price , according to the supplier of Ganzhou , dysprosium products prices fell mainly due to the impact of decreased demand , as technology advances , the current market for magnetic products element dysprosium demand has been reduced by half, and in the future may be further reduced. The absolute magnitude of praseodymium neodymium metals demand is still large , so the market is relatively stable and more. Comprehensive Baotou and Ganzhou area businesses offer situation , praseodymium , neodymium metal is currently with votes 410,000 yuan / ton or slightly higher , with no votes 345,000 yuan / ton. Dysprosium oxide prices fall from the current 1.65 million to 1.6 million yuan weekly / ton , there are vendors on the market as well as supply reflects lower prices , along with dysprosium iron market price trend down , the reference price of 165-170 yuan / ton .

China Rare Earth Industry Association, the latest market quotes show that the 26th decline in the price of many varieties , dysprosium oxide quote Bo suppliers also fell sharply . Currently the majority of rare earth products market quotations are down in the bottom position , gradually reduce the business profits. With the changes in downstream demand, the profitability of different products gradually changed , control and adjust the production cost becomes more important.
