Reporters learned yesterday from the parties concerned , which lasted for two years in Europe and America to the WTO ( WTO ) trade dispute prosecution of China's rare earth export policy , WTO on the 26th of this month announced a panel report that China -related measures are not consistent with WTO rules and China's WTO Accession commitment. In this regard, the Chinese side expresses regret and will continue to do follow-up work .

For a long time , China 's rare earth resources to bear 23% of the world's supply of more than 90 % of the market , resulting in serious environmental pollution problems. Therefore, the Chinese government in recent years to strengthen and improve the high pollution, high energy consumption of integrated ( market area ) management of resource products . Which on rare earths and other products for the export quota management. China's approach is well-founded , because although WTO rules requires its members to eliminate export restrictions , but provides for two exemptions , namely, " to protect people , animal or plant life or health measures " and " with protective measures exhaustible natural resources if such measures with restrictions on domestic production or consumption together to implement . "

In fact, this measure did not affect the market price of rare earth. In 2013 , the international market demand is still rare enough. As of the end of October last year , China 's total exports of 17,911 tons of rare earth , accounting for only 57.8% of the total annual export quota , some of the export quota is not used.

However , China's rise to reasonable measures dissatisfaction with long accustomed to large imports of rare earths Europe and other developed countries. March 2012 , the proportion of Chinese rare earths , tungsten and other share of global reserves of these countries and regions greater export restrictions affecting the development of related industries by countries to resort to WTO dispute settlement mechanism.

Voice of developing countries is still weak

March 26 this year , the WTO panel report released U.S., EU , Japan v. China rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related to the case , ruled that the product concerned Chinese export tariffs , export quotas and export quota management and allocation measures are not comply with the relevant WTO rules and China 's WTO commitments . However , although the " first instance " loser , but a WTO panel also approved a comprehensive resource and environmental protection measures in China for rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum taken and dismissed the application for EU companies molybdenum export quotas " export performance " requirements discriminate against foreign companies proposition.

Industry experts have pointed out that Chinese restrictions on exports of rare earths exhaustible natural resources, such as well-founded , the preliminary results of the lawsuit , said the development and implementation of WTO rules , there are still some unfairness , voice of developing countries overall still weak.

In this regard, the person in charge of the Ministry of Commerce issued a statement that the Chinese side regrets . China -related measures both the conservation of exhaustible natural resources and environmental needs , but also important for maintaining global sustainability efforts made ​​. " China will continue to comply with the WTO rules on ways to strengthen the management of resource products , maintain fair competition ."

According to reports, the morgue to see the last one to pay 20,000 yuan deposit, so inexplicable arbitrary charges , the bereaved family refer to " vulnerable" ; 40 pounds of lettuce to buy a bowl of noodle, vegetable lamented "vulnerable " ; while the War of China's rare earth deep processing , leaving industrial upgrading " vulnerable . "

Mortuary to " kill the world" : a first look at the last pay 20,000 deposit

Mortuary cremated deceased buried before the necessary land , but Xinhua reporters found that some hospitals and funeral homes in the morgue , but alienation occurs , from quiet to degenerate as "Pa living layer of skin , body hair dead money" misappropriating rip land. "It depends on the last one , the first to pay 20,000 yuan deposit ," or can not see .

Funeral industry chaos , far more than that. Ching Ming Festival , Shenyang, Qingdao, Jinan , etc., in many places nationwide , has been found in the cemetery for 20 years using the expiry of the problems facing the tomb guard continued closing costs . Why should the dead a 20 -year " pay the rent " ? 20 years of " rental period" reasonable?

China has always been dead for large, buried traditions , and people of remembrance and respect for the dead , gave individuals profiteering monopoly bundled consumer loopholes . Consequently , a variety of names, charges , and only you can not think , do not they dare not received , people really "vulnerable ."

In fact , for the chaos and profiteering funeral services , the introduction of too many places requirements , pick up the remains , refrigeration , cremation funeral services perform basic government pricing . But such a provision, but the lack of effective supervision, resulting in chaos .

People comment , let the real return of the funeral service , the civil affairs departments have to do something. Although private capital into the funeral service is a direct cause chaos , civil affairs departments at all levels , but is still worthy of regulators, have not shirk responsibility. It is entirely possible through the establishment of industry practices and other means , to block illegal profit behavior.

Henan Zhongmou lots of vegetables unmarketable 40 pounds of lettuce money can not sell a bowl of noodle

Injury can not afford , as well as farmers. As the saying goes , food prices are low farmers, recently , when this reporter visited Dahe Zhongmou County farmers found Zhengzhou City , where a large number of planted celery , lettuce , spinach and other vegetables suffered poor sales . Even farmers sell to the base price , the ground can not be sold vegetables , desperation, vegetable farmers had to plow into the ground or abandoned on the roadside.

Zhongmou County in Henan , lettuce 2 cents per kilogram , 40 pounds of lettuce before buying got a bowl of noodle, although inflation affects the public 's heart , to stabilize the price of vegetables bear fruit will be welcomed . But consumers fall behind if you see thousands of vegetable farmers in the sad face , crying face , how many people laugh ?

Want to unlock "food prices are low farmers ' deadlock , forces farmers alone clearly too thin. Yangtze River Network commented that difficult to sell unsalable vegetables , the most immediate problem is not in place in the market butt . To solve the problem of yield no harvest , government departments need to establish a sound information network for farmers vegetable production and sales organization to provide basis for decision making . At the same time , we must vigorously promote sales to production , reducing circulation .

Chinese rare earth deep processing of Shame : 10 yuan to sell more than 1,000 yuan to buy back

Food prices are low farmers, while China's rare earth industry due to lack of pricing power , the rare earth resources are sold "cabbage price ." It is reported that China supplies more than 90 percent of the world's rare earth resources, but a dollar of rare earth materials , we roughing up to sell 10 yuan , 20 yuan , to the U.S. and Europe made ​​product, we will spend 1,000 yuan to buy back .

China's rare earth industry sentence tells the short board in the deep processing field . This imbalance , so that the rare earth industry, " injury can not afford ."

At present , China's rare earth raw materials and processing industry remained roughly three bases and two north-south pattern of production systems . The three bases are mainly production base, mainly raw materials and primary products mostly in the rough stages downstream applications , such as product development is slower development .

How to become rough deep processing , breaking the existing development " vicious circle" , leaving the rare earth industry transformation and upgrading of the time is running out.

March 26 , WTO announced the United States , European Union, Japan, the prosecution panel report Chinese rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum export management measures related case , ruled that the export control measures Chinese products involved violations. This is no sudden lost , because from the beginning two years ago , about the outcome of this war prophecy Rare already been repeated countless times . Basically exactly the same content even lawsuits , we've lost back in 2009 , the last result , we were forced to open bauxite , coke and other 9 kinds of industrial raw material exports . But this time , we do not know the time to fight the use of the appeal period established five rare earth group , can remedy the situation . I do not know whether we can in the first 14 years of the WTO , to say we do not have to pay the successful tuition .

"conduct the full range of violations "

RE battle , officially started two years ago .

March 13, 2012 , the Japanese Ministry of Economy that China restricted rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum exports of three raw materials violate WTO regulations , request a joint EU and the United States, filed a complaint with the WTO. "From the moment the complaint in Japan , the Chinese government has been lost, and because the violation is an established fact. " China WTO Research Institute of Foreign Trade University to Chongqing Youth Daily reporter Zhang Hanlin , said the controversy about the rare earths , from that moment on has been lost.

Why lose ? Back in the " Legal Evening News" March 20, 2012 on , he published a CASS Institute of Finance Strategic Analysis Jing Tang article . Article believes that this complaint focused mainly on two aspects: first , China 's rare earth export restrictions material meets the WTO legal provisions GATT Article 20 (g), (GATT members to not impede implementation of the " protection of exhaustible natural measures relating to resources, and with restrictions on domestic production or consumption while implementing measures " ) ; second, China's export tariff meets the exceptions .


analysts believe that Chinese domestic consumption of rare earth mining and yet take appropriate restrictive measures , so this aspect may be the soft underbelly of China in the field of litigation . After the defense , the WTO should be submitted to "prove taken appropriate restrictions on domestic production or consumption measure" evidence. In the export tax, if you need to WTO approved " special exception ", the Chinese must meet the procedural requirements , such as the "prior consultation with affected members ." But clearly, China also did not perform these procedures. Finally, the article concludes: " In the absence of cooperation, communication premise alone approach will undoubtedly raise tariffs under the existing WTO framework has no legitimacy . "

Two years later , when the WTO panel report was released , the main reason for the analysis of the article 's conclusions and Jing Tang amazing consistency .

That year, the same as with the soup Jing analysis of rare earth dispute with the regulations , as well as the " Japanese Economic News " editorial vine Kang -ho . Although the vines in a small part of the article is also used to analyze the terms " illegal Chinese restrictions on exports of rare earths ", but its focus has landed on inciting nationalist sentiment . Use in the 1970s , Japan experienced the "out" alluding to the rare earth dispute to the level of the entire event distort " economic war" .

March 26 , after the preliminary case against China's rare earth , rare earth industry , analyzed the current situation . 1 dollar of rare earth materials , we roughing up to sell 10 yuan , 20 yuan , to the U.S. and Europe made ​​product, we will spend 1,000 yuan to buy it back. More than 90% of China's supply of rare earth resources to the world, but because there is no obtain rare earth pricing , selling resources into "cabbage price ."

The rough into the deep processing of rare earth industry is way out

Price imbalance , so make a determined effort remediation of the rare earth industry . Implementation of rare earth quota system is based on the protection of the environment and resource considerations , a control implemented in the export sector .

RE market research analyst Chen Huan analysis organization , said the elimination of export management measures will not have much impact on China's rare earth industry itself , the real impact will be China's rare earth deep processing and application aspects .

Assistant President of China Minmetals Mr Wang 's words revealed the rare earth industry in the short-board processing areas: one dollar of rare earth materials , we roughing up to sell 10 yuan , 20 yuan , to the European and American made ​​products , we will spend 1000 yuan to buy it back.

April 2 , Inner Mongolia , a rare corporate executives told reporters , " Our way is not that rare earth industry consolidation, but how deep into the rough machining . "

According to the Ministry of Industrial Research Institute CCID director袁开洪materials research , the three main bases for the production base , most of the major raw materials and primary products in the rough stages of product development , such as slower development .

Duplication caused by overcapacity plagued the rare earth deep processing

袁开洪said that although China's rare earth permanent magnet production ranked first in the world , but the market share of high-performance permanent magnet materials is less than 10 %. Many provinces , even without the resources and core technology , the new project is still a lot of construction NdFeB , resulting in a more serious homogenization phenomenon vicious competition .

"Some of our companies are a division of labor , and now every place in the enclosure, do engage in NdFeB Rare Earth Zone , a practice engaged in two dozen tons of duplication which is the largest waste. Rare Enterprises spokesman told reporters .

The real problem is that the current domestic rare earth processing enterprises concentrated in NdFeB , luminescent materials and NiMH batteries three industries , high-tech industries rarely dabbled in other applications . Homogenization of seriously restricting the development of rare earth applications.
