How to make cabbage price of rare earth exports are no longer?

Has been for about two years China Rare international litigation , in the spring of 2014 with the verdict : World Trade Organization (WTO) panel report announced that the export tariffs on China for rare earths , tungsten, molybdenum related products taken in violation of the quota management measures the relevant provisions of the WTO. In other words, China can not continue to manage the use of quotas for exports of rare earth . Although there are 60 days of the complaint , but many industry insiders believe that , under WTO rules China established comeback very difficult. Some believe that a rare earth litigation with the U.S. and Europe failed to control the development of the relevant WTO rules , it is actually a concrete manifestation of the U.S. and Europe through the control of the WTO on China resources plundered .

Zhang Anwen , deputy secretary general of China Rare Earth Society believes that in a certain period , the ruling would obviously have an impact China's rare earth industry , " but in the long run, this effect will soon be over. We should strengthen basic research , major breakthroughs in key technologies, development and application of downstream industries , the use of resources for technology to change the situation . Only then can we talk about rare power to change from passive to active. "

Earlier promise

According to reports, when China joined the WTO, there are 84 tariff increase tariffs. However, in the rare earth, tungsten , molybdenum, three resources , only the heading of a tariff increase range are tungsten , rare earths , molybdenum not in this range.

Zhang Anwen said , I believe that this 84 year tariff has been determined after a thorough discussion and tough bargaining, " the WTO itself is a very difficult negotiation . WTO should say something to talk about when there allow , is guaranteed , there is slow , some concessions must be made ​​concessions that adhere to never give in , give up some buffer time . "he explained," a dozen years ago to join the WTO negotiations could then our understanding of rare earths does not now so high. "For the rare-earth litigation failed, he said," After all, there is a corresponding WTO rules , including quotas and tariff setting , although we have been in the effort , in the complaint , but impossible to escape the framework of the rules , so the results can be said expected. "

Make good use of WTO rules

As early as 1998, China began to implement a system for licensing the export quota of rare earth products , and the inclusion of rare earth materials processing trade ban catalog . At the same time , by rectifying the order of the rare earth mine , the development of industry access policy, vigorously promote the rare earth industry consolidation and a series of measures , the domestic rare earth prices have been rising . In 2011, the Ministry of Finance , State Administration of Taxation has issued a notice , decided to adjust the rare earth ores uniform resource tax standards since April of that year . Adjusted ton of rare earth resources tax increase several times over , which soon caused dissatisfaction rare large market demand in countries such as the U.S. , Japan and Europe .

Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng Chinese Rare Earth Society , said the resource tax rise, to some extent, to stimulate certain areas of the South indiscriminate Luancai phenomenon , so it has a greater profit margins than the rare formal channels .

Zhang Anwen said that in rare earth mining , smelting and separation of rare earth functional materials research and development, China 's technology has been greatly improved. However , the use of rare earths in the downstream areas , especially the core technology components and other high-end products and product development , is still short board .

China rare earth enterprises too , is not conducive to the effective use of WTO rules. It is understood that China is now about seven eighty rare earth enterprises , while Western countries generally only seventy-eight . In addition , rare earth enterprises in Western countries generally meticulous division of labor , strictly take the difference of the road, but the actual situation in China is large and comprehensive, industry convergence , which is obviously not conducive to high-end direction.
