October 28, 2013 , the Commerce Department announced the 2014 rare earth export quota reporting conditions and reporting procedures . If launched from 1998 rare earth export quota license system date, this model has more than 15 years.


Now, the earth is facing a change in the quota system . Foreign media recently reported that Chinese exports of rare earths regulation triggered America, Europe and China trade litigation, WTO WTO has basically endorsed the idea of ​​America, Europe , and has issued a tentative judgment relevant national notice , finds a violation of China 2001 WTO accession agreement commitments.

October 30 , learned from authoritative sources , at present, government departments have already commenced discussions on the news , "message should be true ." The official said China is very difficult to restore the situation .

Chinese Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Industry and so had repeatedly stressed that China adopt a quota system for rare earth and make industry consolidation , the purpose is to protect resources and the environment and achieve sustainable development , in line with WTO rules . The Chinese government has no intention of trade-distorting way to protect domestic industries .

Preliminary ruling unfavorable to China

Last March , the United States on China for rare earths , tungsten and molybdenum export controls imposed questioned that these restrictive measures on these raw materials in the international market on the supply chain caused huge distortions and harmful interference. EU and Japan also made the request for consultations with China .

China has about 23% of the world 's rare earth reserves , but long-term supply more than 90 percent of global rare earth production. Previously few years, China has been in the export of rare earth export quota system perform , that is clearly a year of domestic manufacturing enterprises meet the relevant conditions of export volume and distribution companies , in order to protect resources and the environment and realize sustainable development.

Commerce Department released data show that China's rare earth export quota year 2010 a total of 30,258 tons , compared to 2009 decreased by almost 40% , while in 2004-2009 , rare earth export quotas of 66,000 tons , 66,000 tons , 62,000 tons , 60,000 tons , 47,000 tons , 50,000 tons , the annual amount did not exceed the 10% decrease .

"Foreign mainly aimed at China's quota system , which is not enough to use the problem is for this thing is reasonable . " Baotou a rare corporate executives , said rare earth is just " the beginning , "the lawsuit defeated, will involve numerous resources sector .

The parties, of rare earth quotas actually originated in the year of entry agreement , some of the rare element was not added attention and was not included in the scope of protection included in the negotiations , the Chinese did not realize at that time , and later found out, to come up with a quotas.

In fact, in some specific cases, WTO rules allow members to conduct export control , in which one out of non-renewable natural resources protection. But Europe and the United States put forward , if indeed out of this consideration , China 's restrictive measures should also be applied to China 's domestic production.

Multi- channel display , WTO has basically endorsed the idea of ​​America, Europe , and to notify the relevant national judge issued a tentative , finds a violation of 2001 China joined the WTO agreement commitments.

In the eyes of domestic rare earth enterprises , so that the results may not be an accident. "Even if you can appeal , but also a formality , there is not much practical significance. "These rare earth business people said.

Foregoing authorities also revealed that at present , government departments have already started discussions , but " even if unsuccessful , would not immediately abolish the quota ."

It is reported that the equivalent of first instance verdict WTO panel report will be released in mid- November , if the country refuses to accept the award may be related to the WTO High Commission of Appeal.

RE quota dispute

In the rare case before , someone on the reasonableness of rare earth export quota discussion . Which criticized the quota into a commodity reselling , corruption.

Rare earth prices have soared once around 2010 , engaged in rare earth become one of the shortcut to get rich , but slashed rare earth export quota year , a large number of rare earth production plans to export -oriented enterprises due to lack of quotas , eager to have export quota system trading company purchase , prompting index prices have soared .

China Industry Insight Network research and analysis , rare earth export quota system market, " guidance " has reached 120,000 to 170,000 yuan per ton , and even in some months , rare earth export quotas pushed up to 400,000 to 500,000 yuan per ton .

This year, the rare earth export quota of about 30,000 tons per year , but also create new problems . " quota policy enforcement for many years, but this year , every year remaining , but become a burden . " The authorities said .

The source said that the quota of rare earth has existed in name only , not in line with market rules, after fully liberalized influence is there, "Which products have a market on which products impact ."

Noteworthy that the overall supply of rare earth pattern has been the emergence of new changes , the United States , Australia and other countries were launched, some mining plan , there are currently 30,000 tons of production capacity , the future international market in China will also reduce dependence on light rare earths . " If you lose, China's rare earth industry will be more rudderless , rare earth enterprises with foreign direct shopping prices . " preceding business people said.

China is not without preparation.

May 10, 2011 , the State Council issued " on the promotion of the rare earth industry healthy development of a number of opinions ", the Chinese around the rare earth resource development, smelting separation and circulation market order expand regulation by the Ministry of Industry and the formation of large rare earth industry group programs , now the industry has formed a number of sets resource extraction, smelting separation processing and application technology research and development of rare earth industry in one large group .

However, in view of the business people , the rare earth still not completed the integration of clear pattern. "The government will make use of the time for appeal previously thought to achieve integration purposes to play on the international market picked up a fist fight out effect, but did not expect to be so hard to integrate , local, inter-enterprise , as well as upstream and downstream , etc. are all playing the abacus , each hold the interest .

Rare earth prices listed ITC package to boost the market , the third national reserve is expected to strengthen again . October 31 , Baotou Steel Rare Earth International Trade company publicly listed price of some rare earth oxide , neodymium oxide, praseodymium which 370,000 yuan / ton, praseodymium oxide 600,000 yuan / ton, neodymium oxide 350,000 yuan / ton, europium oxide 5,000,000 yuan / ton, compared with the current market price is high about 10-20%. Affected by the main varieties of the day market price sideways since the end of a few weeks began to rise , up 1.7% neodymium oxide spectrum , dysprosium oxide rose 2.7%. Ignite the market for publicly listed third national reserve of rare earth is expected to start soon . Last Baotou Steel Rare Earth International Trade Company is a publicly quoted price of rare earth in 12 years on November 30 , coincided with the second national reserve of rare earth starts on the eve of the publicly listed market may lead to the third national reserve of rare earths is expected to . The larger market is expected to purchasing and storage , purchasing and storage species include oxidation spectrum neodymium oxide, praseodymium oxide, neodymium oxide, dysprosium oxide, europium oxide , terbium oxide, yttrium oxide, erbium and so on. Strategic purchasing and storage help to consolidate China in the global supply of rare earth in the dominant position , and enhance the worldwide influence of rare-earth prices .

Interim Report WTO ruled China rare earth export restrictions violations, rare large group is expected to accelerate integration . October 28 , WTO dispute panel 's interim report on the earth has been distributed to America, Europe , and of other parties to the dispute , the report is not currently open, the final report may be 6-8 weeks after the official public limited preliminary Chinese Rare Earth export violations. Interim Report WTO ruled China rare earth export restrictions violations, is expected to accelerate the process of China's rare earth industry consolidation , China is brewing a number of New Deal response to export changing situation , including the crackdown private mines, the proposed introduction of "Rare Management Regulations" , the formation of a large group of rare earth , rare earth brewing different varieties differentiated management. Future production quotas , mandatory plan , the new mining permits and other policies generally inclined to the large group . Recently, Su Bo, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry , said during the forum in Davos , the formation of a large group of rare earth is expected before the end of the introduction program .

Rare earth industry consolidation will usher in peer review stage, the follow-up is expected to further boost the market sentiment. Evening of August 7 MIIT jointly eight ministries issued "Combating rare earth mining , production, circulation of illegal behavior special action program ", decided from 2013 August 15 to November 15 in the fight against rare earth mining , production, circulation illegal violations special action , action is divided into three phases, the first is the August 15 to September 30 of the provincial self-examination stage ; second, 30 September-25 October -departmental joint inspection phase , in conjunction with the Ministry of Industry relevant departments and experts will form the Joint Inspection Unit ; third is 25 October to 15 November rectification work summary stage . Currently progress than planned action has been postponed , the current first phase of the municipal self yet complete , the second phase of more stringent peer review would later usher . We believe that the consolidation scope and intensity of combat or exceed all previous actions over the years more than private mining of rare earth rare earth quota of total control and global consumption has become an important reason to suppress the price of rare earth , rare earth industry consolidation action with depth , rare private mining is expected to be effectively suppressed and boost market sentiment , and thus promote the stabilization and recovery of rare earth prices .

NdFeB business orders show some downstream demand is warmer. Including three rings , including some recent corporate orders NdFeB significantly improved, mainly from the automotive, air conditioning and electronic fields improved. Four quarters of the global car sales are expected to increase with the chain over 5 %, driven by demand recovery vehicle NdFeB . Meanwhile, as the August air conditioning cold year end 2013 , air conditioning companies have entered a new one cold year production cycle, replenishment stocking expected to follow expanded , and by the recent inverter air conditioner energy efficiency standards to enhance boost , inverter air conditioner with neodymium iron- boron demand will boost. In addition, three quarters of North American semiconductor equipment manufacturer quarter BB value of 98 , an increase of 20% in the fourth quarter demand for consumer electronics is expected to maintain moderate growth.

Multiple positive plate usher in promoting investment opportunities in rare earth permanent magnet , reiterated favorable ratings . As the third quarter as well as lower than expected demand for the release of systemic risk , some companies have pulled back to the strategic investment value of the interval . Recent positive constant will bring a whole plate of investment opportunities, including purchasing and storage expectations, group integration, as well as downstream hitting earth warmer and so on.

The Commerce Department said China's rare earth reserves only for 20 years or to be imported.

In the industry generally believe that China's rare earth industry is about to bottom out on the occasion , bad struck again . Recently, some media reported that in the U.S., EU and Japan jointly sued China " undue restrictions on exports of rare earths " issue , WTO dispute mechanism summary of the " Interim Report of the United States and Japan generally considered reasonable demands ." Report and pointed out: " In late November will introduce the final report is not expected to overturn the judgment , the United States , Japan and Europe may favor on this issue . "

"The Middle East has oil , China has rare earths " , China was once rare to meet 90% of global market demand. Therefore, the Chinese government carried out on the rare earth export quota restrictions will naturally America, Europe and the developed economies uneasy. If the United States and Europe on this issue in favor of the Chinese export quotas will have to make concessions on the issue , and thus the earth tariffs, quotas fully liberalized , rare earth prices is likely to return to this "cabbage price ." Insiders told the South are reporters said , the results with China 's rare earth industry is currently undergoing consolidation, as well as China 's resource strategy is contrary . Therefore, the Chinese government is bound to appeal on this issue , the game is likely to be the result of both sides to compromise .

Just earlier this week , the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism panel ( hereinafter referred to as Group ) v. United States and Japan will have Chinese rare earth export controls dispute interim report circulated made ​​parties to the dispute . Although the final report in 6-8 weeks may be released only after the world, but the media pointed out that the basic group of experts to support the U.S. , Japan and the EU against Chinese rare earth export restrictions policy violations aspirations. Japanese media have even publicly reported that the panel had found the United States , Japan and Europe for Chinese rare earth export controls to make a preliminary ruling proceedings , the plaintiff 's argument basically agree .

"In fact, the news had spread . China's accession to the WTO has been related to the time commitment is indeed a preliminary ruling against China . But right now , China can only continue to appeal. " Xiamen University, China Energy Economic Research Center Lin Boqiang told reporters that , " From the Chinese point of view, this matter not be anxious . "

Chinese respondent reason not being taken seriously

In fact, the United States and Japan and China on the issue of differences in the rare earth has been going on for several years, rare cases have also been consuming half a year - in March 2012 , the United States , Japan, Europe has three trade disputes brought to the WTO litigation request that the Chinese for 17 kinds of rare earths and tungsten and molybdenum export quotas and export duties and other restrictive measures imposed . After bilateral consultations failed to elicit solutions. September 2012 , established by the WTO Director-General panel to adjudicate .

But China is not willing to remain silent . But, one indisputable fact is: excessive production of rare earth will cause environmental destruction and hinder the industry 's sustainable development.

A survey shows that in the rare earth mine , the ore is mined around the end of the earth is no longer the growth of vegetation , and some even whole mountain has been hollowed out into a bald mountain . Jiangxi Provincial Industry and Information Commission had released the relevant data show that in 2011 , the entire Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry profits are only 64 billion yuan, 38 billion yuan of the huge "green arrears" is the year in Jiangxi Rare Earth Industry profits throughout 6 times.

Ministry of Commerce has repeatedly said that on the rare earth issue, China policy objective is to protect resources and the environment and achieve sustainable development, has no intention of trade-distorting way to protect domestic industries . China has always respected the rules of the WTO , and actively fulfill WTO commitments.

But the attitude is still strong in Europe and America . In fact, for resource exports , China is not the first nor the only one to take a quota system . According to Lin Bo , a lot of countries and regions on the export quota , the most typical example is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting (OPEC) oil-exporting countries .

America, Europe and well prepared

Outsiders expected , WTO Panel will , in consultation with the views of the parties concerned , the fastest in the final report released in mid-November . According to the process , the group of hearing the equivalent of " first instance ." If dissatisfied with the Panel 's report , China could appeal to the WTO High Commission for final decision .

However, the domestic industry is still on the case of the final result is not good, and let them generally pessimistic mood because, previously , there have been similar cases - the end of 2011 , the United States , Mexico and the European Union within the framework proposed by China in the WTO Trade dispute request , accusing China 's bauxite and other 9 kinds of raw materials to export quotas and export tariffs, price and quantity control , in violation of WTO rules . The outcome is - China 's appeal is dismissed.

In this regard, Shanghai Han Lu Lawyer Wang Huaitao analysis pointed out , WTO 's final report actually overturned a preliminary ruling concerning Chinese export license , the minimum export price requirements , export quotas and expense management constraints, but maintains a preliminary export taxes and quotas ruling core content rejected the Chinese environmental protection or supply shortages based on the preliminary ruling request an appeal .

" China has always stressed setting export quotas and export tariffs are designed to protect resources and the environment, and protection of natural resources, the WTO allowed, but only if such measures with restrictions on domestic production or consumption with implementation . At present , China has not yet done export quotas and the number of domestic consumption to maintain consistency . " Wang Huaitao that as usual, the decision that is likely to become rare cases the WTO ruling paradigm.

However , WTO principle, requires the elimination of export restrictions, but provides for two exemptions : "To protect people , animal or plant life or health measures " and " with the protection of exhaustible natural resources -related measures , Where such measures with restrictions on domestic production or consumption with the implementation . "

" Therefore, once the results are unfavorable to China , China should actively appeal. " Wanghuai Tao said that China should adhere to the" China 's rare earth policy measures taken for the protection of resources, environment and sustainable development needs of the country 's rare earth production and consumption necessary to limit , in line with WTO rules and exemptions . " Meanwhile, the Chinese supply of rare earth resources , environmental pollution, horizontal comparison on the rest of the world related to scarce resources export tax is also far more than the 10% level . To this end, China should be cited as the implementation of these two provisions justification of rare earth export restrictions and conduct horizontal comparison to illustrate the increase of rare earth export tariffs are reasonable.

Losing does not mean no way out

If the final ruling against China , China will likely open in the rare earth policy controls. Wangguan Tao said China's rare earth industry is no tariffs and export quotas , the price is likely to fall into the melee stage and lead to vicious competition is extremely conducive to environmental protection .

But Lin Bo pointed out that , even if unsuccessful , China is not helpless. " China's rare earth export quota system is in fact only in the industry consolidation is not completed in the case to take a policy response . Solely on the rare earth industry , the integration of related industries in China if carried out smoothly, sooner or later, the quota system is to be canceled . "

It is noteworthy that in the integration process, the Chinese rare earth industry is still faced with two problems , one is the environmental cost, the other is in the domestic and foreign markets are rare problems existed uncontrollability . " Originally , from a market development point of view , the more the more competitive enterprises , industrial development as possible. But it comes to exports of resource products is not so different , but is easier to enterprises bigger and stronger on the export price and size constrain . "In Lin Boqiang opinion, as long as the resource costs increase , rare earth prices will naturally will correspondingly. Meanwhile, if the taxes levied on domestic enterprises , rare earth prices will be increased. However , the most fundamental strategy or " from the inside ", that is the first domestic rare earth governance chaos , and then consider its foreign policy . Moment , the integration of rare earth industry's most important to get the full cooperation of the local government , so that the relevant national regulatory policies issued to really uplink .

It is reported that , WTO litigation fastest at the end of the outcome. However , according to regulations , adjust the new export tariff and quota policies can have a grace period of six months to one year , which may be later than the beginning of 2015, full liberalization of rare earth tariffs, quotas.
