RE market price two days were no major changes , poor market transactions . Insiders said the report doubts that the income will not so low , but low profit margin, he agrees , with "very low " to describe the current profitability of the rare earth market.
Praseodymium neodymium products, the current market price of the mainstream No significant adjustment , with votes still 41.5-42 yuan / ton, praseodymium , neodymium quote is more concentrated in the 325,000 yuan / ton. Recent downstream NdFeB industry running smoothly , although not a great demand , but the quote basically stable.
Dysprosium products market , the current external offer basic still 165-170 ten thousand yuan / ton , a trader said Ganzhou price of dysprosium oxide is now shipped with no votes at 142 yuan / ton, the current market price of dysprosium iron is also more steady at 175 yuan / ton or lower , the amount of purchases and inquiries unlikely.
Europium, terbium market , europium oxide turnover in the doldrums , the price temporarily no signs of a rebound , Ganzhou area businesses that currently europium oxide with votes still 3900-4100 yuan / kg , but not with votes in the 3350 yuan / kg , according to a trader now only reflect the goods when the customer will want to find some relatively low-priced goods to delivery. Baotou Rare Earth Exchange as of 14:00 today europium oxide maximum price displayed is 4849 yuan / kg , volume of only 112 kg . Terbium oxide stable at current prices 3200-3300 yuan / kg , quoted Baotou Rare Earth Exchange is still strong today, the highest price displayed on the 4022 yuan / kg , volume of about 200 kg .

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 . "

Rare earth export quota policy mind

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 accordance with WTO rules , China is still 60 days to appeal , if the final result is difficult to change , for the rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum export quota management system of three raw materials may be canceled.
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 .
As the first rare earth producer and exporter 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 .
Back in 2001 the accession negotiations for accession to the WTO, China as promised , within the prescribed period canceled out most of the products ( feed ) export quota , the Commerce Department data show that the public in 2009 between 2001-2006 , China's export volume of rare earth products maintained at between 40,000 to 80,000 tons . In order to further standardize the development of rare earth industry , in 2009 , the State Ministry to develop "special Rare Earth Industry Development Plan ( 2009-2015 ) ", clearly 2009-2015 annual export of rare earth no more than 35,000 tons . 2010 , fell to 30,258 tons of export quotas beginning .
Zhang Anwen said to 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 .
Rare earth prices Governance secure first
If the complainant is still not ideal situation , China will have to amend the related export restrictions , which will have a greater impact on the rare earth industry ?
" RE game depends largely on the price . " Zhang Anwen said that in the short term, the rare earth market may form a certain degree of price volatility . The large fluctuations in the price of rare earth products for the downstream industry chain development is not the gospel.
"fear of rare earth price spike . " Shenzhen Tianli and Magnetic Industry Co., head of marketing , said the company set up in Ganzhou NdFeB production base, in rare metals processing, production of NdFeB, magnetic buttons , and other magnetic products. 2011 to 2012, the roller coaster of rare earth raw material price changes , so that the whole industry enterprises to withstand a lot of pressure . As the rare earth raw materials skyrocketing , even smaller than the profits of deep processing of raw materials mining profits. Rare earth materials soaring overnight over a lot of people are doing magnetic materials, has nothing to do with the rare people who started in this industry , and now serious excess capacity many companies have cut production and protect the price . The demand side of enterprises turn to look for other alternative materials , magnetic materials applications hit the market .
" 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.
