WTO announced the United States, European Union, Japan v. China 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. Industry analysts, after nine raw materials case , China's rare earth export restrictions has once again been cut violations, which means that China 's export quota system for many years , or face the end.
Expert Group report that our export tariffs on rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum related products take management measures and export quotas for rare earths , molybdenum export performance and export enterprises registered capital requirements imposed does not comply with the relevant WTO provisions . The report notes that China's rare earth export restrictions adopted failed to demonstrate protection of natural resources , but not with restrictions on domestic production or consumption measures implemented together .
" China is currently evaluating the report panel decisions and make proper follow-up of the case under the WTO dispute settlement procedures . " Commerce Department of Treaty and Law , 26, said the person in charge . Meanwhile, deputy secretary general of China Association of Chen Zhanheng rare interview with reporters, said that at present the Association has prepared the report for the determination of the specific content of study and assess the impact of China 's rare earth industry award and member companies , the next step will be based on the assessment results take some measures .
Reporters learned that, according to the WTO dispute settlement practice, the panel report issued within 60 days of our country can appeal . After 3-4 months , WTO will issue a final ruling. If the final ruling is still considered China's rare earth export restrictions violation, then our country will be implementing the WTO ruling, amend the related export restrictions .
" For now, there are three members of a group of experts to support China's claims , but also in the WTO members , there are also a member of several developing countries support China's position , Russia, as a third party to join the negotiations also provided evidence to support this a stand. These are favorable conditions for China's appeal of the case . " A law pointed out that China should actively appeal , promising to fight v. points . But he also said that the conclusions of the panel report is completely overturned little chance of winning .
It is noteworthy that , just five years ago, the Chinese but had a similar case to sit in the dock WTO . 2009 , the United States , European Union, Mexico will China bauxite , coke, fluorspar and other nine kinds of raw materials export control measures taken to WTO. January 31, 2012 , WTO issued a report dismissing the appeal request China based on environmental or supply shortages preliminary ruling raised the export of nine raw materials, the final ruling I restriction violation .
"In fact, at the time Europe Dispute filed materials , it has been the layout , the goal is for the rare earth testing the waters . " An industry source pointed out that , while the real worry is him , rare earth might be only one incision , the real purpose of Europe and America to the ultimate impact of the country 's export control system of strategic resources .
According to " 2014 list of goods export license management " , China's export quota license management has 22 kinds of goods , export quota bidding has four kinds , covering mainly agricultural products, coal , crude oil and other energy products , as well as a small amount of non-ferrous metal resources . Earlier, after the WTO Dispute raw accordance ruling , China has canceled the export quota of nine measures of raw materials . That is, if the rare earth products involved in the case and then cancel the quota management , then the field of non-ferrous metals will bid farewell to the " Quota Era" .
In China WTO Research Institute of Foreign Economic and Trade University Tu Xinquan opinion, this export quota management system in China since the 1980s began undoubtedly a challenge. One of the most critical is that even rare cases settled, there will be a game behind the other strategic resources. Therefore, China must be prepared at the strategic level , and the current domestic likely " invited heavy criticism " of the relevant measures for reflection.
"In order to reverse the unfavorable situation in the WTO , China's rare earth policy has shifted production processes . " Ministry of Industry and Raw Materials Division , an official told reporters. 2012 began to include more competent departments of Commerce, Ministry of Environmental Protection , the Ministry of Industry , the Ministry of Land began frequently "hit " rectification rare order. Following the State Council issued the first " China 's rare earth conditions and policies ," the White Paper , the Ministry will launch a rare "black industry" chain governance , some do not meet environmental and industrial policies of rare earth mining and production companies have suspend production for rectification . Rare long-awaited plan is also the beginning of a large group "released ."
"We are worried that the losing is actually on China's export quota system of sanctions to a greater extent , after the formation of this rule , once after we found other rare disorder but was exported resources, we can not the use of such methods for protection. "the source said.
He Weiwen China WTO Research Association , told reporters that the rules significance than practical significance rare cases . In fact the last two years because of the international market supply and demand pattern of rare earth changes, China 's quota is not enough, but used up . So even cancel future of rare earth quotas, market and industry will not happen much impact. Management of critical rare earth industry lies in the consolidation of the country .
He Weiwen think , on the one hand , China should step up strategic research related to strategic resource protection ; on the other hand , in the face of foreign products on our resources , " proactive " , China also should actively reserve " counter-measures " . "For example, can the United States and other oil or gas exports also filed a lawsuit , of course, carefully prepared on the basis of research . "

Recently , the National Rare Standards and Technology Committee ( hereinafter referred to dilute Standard Committee ) organizational meeting was held in Beijing to discuss and validation "rare earth grades representation ", " rare earth phosphor chemical analysis methods obsolete " and 18 rare earth standards. Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Rare hospital subordinate units , International Trade Company , and the United States companies, hydrogen storage companies represented, and participate in the development of a number of criteria.
Among them, " europium oxide ", " Sm-Eu- Gd enrichment ", " Sintered NdFeB ( GB amended , ASTM standards ) " three product standards , conducted by Baotou Steel Rare Earth and Rare Earth as the main drafter of the hospital validation, pre-trial and discussion ; a standard method " abandoned chemical analysis of rare earth phosphors part I: Determination of total rare earth oxides " discussed by the hospital as the main drafter of the rare earth ; "rare earth grades representation " and other standards set by Baotou Steel Rare Earth subsidiary as part of the drafters to participate in the second examination . The meeting also standard on the 2014-2015 project to demonstrate rare , rare earth homes and companies made a total of seven hydrogen storage industry standard method of formulating recommendations .
As an industry leading enterprises and dilute standard committee of members of the unit , Baotou Steel Rare Earth and some subordinate units attached great importance to industry standards , and actively participate in industry standards , national standards in RE has done a lot of fruitful work , has been the national authorities and industry recognition. It is understood that from now on the whole rare earth industry point of view of national standards , national standards system is not perfect rare earth industry , many of the standard and the actual gap , rare earth industry standards and failed to do the coordination of development , many of the standard does not have guidance from this perspective, the rare earth standardization work needs to be done as well.

World Trade Organization (WTO) announced the United States , European Union, Japan v. China 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. In the industry view, the rare earth export quota dispute , although full of differences and conflicts of national interests , but also fully exposed the long-standing China's rare earth industry .
According to China Economic Weekly reported that in 2012 , the State Council Information Office published "China 's rare earth conditions and policies ," White Paper , China's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. However, China has undertaken more than 90% of rare earth supply on the world market , was even more than 97% .
In addition, as a rare earth producer and exporter of the first big country , but the development of China's rare earth market was chaotic . Overcapacity in the domestic rare earth mining is very serious , serious waste of resources and ecological damage. Disorderly competition makes the "industrial gold" has sold rare earth became " cabbage price ." And with this in stark contrast to the United States, Australia and other countries extremely rare earth resources , but their limitations and stop the exploitation of rare earth in favor of imports from China .
It is worth mentioning that a total of 17 kinds of rare earth elements , generally divided into mild , moderate and severe categories. Which lanthanum, cerium and other light metal , widely used in metallurgy, textiles, ceramics , glass, magnetic materials and other civilian areas ; yttrium, dysprosium, terbium and other heavy rare earth metals , laser cutting-edge industry , nuclear industry, superconductivity and other necessary , is a valuable strategic resource , known as the "industrial vitamins ."
According to Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Society of Rare Earths , said the heavy rare earth mining in southern China as an example: In order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, 100 square kilometers of vegetation will result in the destruction consideration shocking. " Our pay and unequal access to a serious imbalance . " Zhang Anwen respect, protection of resources and the environment and regulate industrial order , it is the policy of our government to implement protective measures against the rare earth industry in mind.
"Although China's rare earth export quota system eventually sentenced violations, but after a full defense and the burden of proof , WTO Expert Group endorsed the policy objective for China is still protecting the environment, resources and sustainable development needs , in line with the special nature of WTO rules . " Zhang Anwen said .
It should be noted is that China is a " rare big country" , they are not "rare earth power ."
Rare earth industry itself has a very prominent issue, focus on performance in five areas . First, the rare earth mining , smelting production overcapacity serious , rare earth oxides capacity and yield ratio ( ie, the excess factor ) is about 3.2 , much higher than steel, cement overcapacity excess coefficient industry ; Second, high prices and Gregory under driven by mining and smelting separation, environmental pollution and ecological damage costly ; third , private mining digging , serious cases of smuggling of rare earth , rare earth prices under long-term impact of non- market factors ; fourth , industry concentration is not enough ; fifth , downstream of China's rare earth industry development is weak , the situation in the " nuclear high base " and the kinds of applications of rare earth materials more serious .
" Rare earth prices , the first rule secure . " Zhang Anwen said that industrial development is the most taboo volatility in raw material prices , the further development of rare earth downstream industries, to promote the application of rare earth material harm than benefit . Should establish a relatively stable price formation mechanism of rare earth products , to provide a stable environment for the enterprise market enterprises downstream applications .
2013 onwards, China Rare Earth Industry Association has released the rare earth industry price index in the form of the price range from the industry 's 25 most representative sample of companies forming daily trading price statistics . Maintenance industry run by the price index , the impact of inhibiting capital speculation .
Zhang Anwen also reminded enterprises, foreign rare earth development and utilization of international environmental concern. United States , Australia, India and Russia have a wealth of rare earth resources, in 2013 , Greenland abolished the ban on uranium mining and rare earth mine , allowing domestic and foreign mining companies exploiting mineral resources in its territory in the Arctic . This means that in the future , in the world or the formation of diversified international rare earth supply system.
