The system, standard file system support cleaner production technology to guide and encourage enterprises to implement cleaner production according to the law, not long ago, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Environmental Protection to implement the "Cleaner Production Promotion Law" (2012 amendments), and further to form a unified and the Ministry of Industry jointly developed a "rare earth industry clean production evaluation index system" (the "index system").

RE is an internationally recognized strategic resource, is the world's countries to develop high-tech and sophisticated national defense technology to transform traditional industries indispensable strategic materials. However, many kinds of rare earth minerals, most low-grade, smelting and separation process more complicated, the process will produce a lot of waste gas, waste water, waste. 'Cause' waste 'emissions would air, water and land pollution. Rare earth smelting and separation of rare earth industry development has become our most serious pollution problems in the field, to carry out clean production of rare earth smelting field is imperative. "China's rare earth industry Deputy Secretary General Chen Zhanheng says.

Environmental issues into a bottleneck restricting the development of rare earth industry

Our country is the world's rare earth resources in the country, the State Council Information Office in June 2012 release of "China's rare earth Conditions and Policies" white paper pointed out that China's rare earth reserves account for about 23% of the world's total reserves. China's rare earth resources widely distributed, minerals range, particularly the world's rare ion adsorption type rare earth ore, rich in precious scarce heavy rare earth elements, large comprehensive value.

Of rare earth use development began in the 1950s, after decades of development, has established a relatively complete mining and metallurgy and materials processing and application of industrial system, realized from the rare earth resources in the country to a producing country, exporting countries and Applications across the great powers. China Nonferrous Metals Industry Information Center, Beijing Antaike Information Development "30 years, China's rare earth industry occurred after the reform and opening up tremendous changes, rare earth production increased by 100 times - 70% of total domestic application of rare earth output of rare earths." Ltd. rare earth market analyst Chen Huan speak.

At the same time, China is also the presence of excessive capacity expansion, environmental destruction and waste of resources and serious problems. In particular, light rare earth mine were associated mostly polymetallic ore, smelting, separation process will produce large amounts of toxic and harmful gases, high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen waste water, radioactive waste and other pollutants. "Part of rare earth production enterprises, environmental control facilities inadequate, some small rare earth smelters no environmental control facilities, running in place, a large amount of waste gas, waste water, waste Today, environmental issues have become a bottleneck restricting the development of rare earth industry issues. "Chen Huan expressed.

Rare Earth New Deal and the ecological strategy of consistent

To implement the "People's Republic of China Environmental Protection Law" and "People's Republic of China Cleaner Production Promotion Law," to guide and promote clean production of rare earth enterprises according to law, improve resource utilization, reduce and avoid the generation of pollutants, protect and improve the environment, relevant department developed a "index system." The system will combine the resulting clean production evaluation scores will be divided into three grades, Ⅰ level for the international advanced level of clean production basis; Ⅱ level of domestic advanced level of clean production; grade Ⅲ for domestic basic level of cleaner production.

"In fact, in order to solve environmental problems, in May 2011 the State Council issued the" Opinions on Promoting the sustainable and healthy development of rare earth industry, "which called the Ministry of Land Survey and mining of rare earth to increase supervision and strictly control the total amount of rare earth mining index management, strengthen Key areas of joint supervision of rare earth, and resolutely combat illegal mining and ultra-control targets mining. 2012 7 monthly wage Ministry formulated the "rare earth industry access conditions" and other policies and regulations to standardize and promote the sustained and healthy development of the industry. "Chen Huan speak.

However, the rare earth smelting industry, "three wastes" remains a serious problem, "China's rare earth Conditions and Policies" white paper said that some local over-exploitation of rare earth, causing landslides, river blockage and sudden environmental pollution incidents, and even cause a major disaster to significant loss of life and health of the public and the environment. Deputy Secretary-General Zhang Anwen Chinese Rare Earth Society has said to the heavy rare earth mine in southern China as an example: in order to get 10,000 tons of heavy rare earth oxides, can cause destruction of 100 square kilometers of vegetation, the price shocking. "This is a serious give and get unequal, unbalanced."

"Now the development of" index system "it is imperative that the policy and strategy of Ecological match will enhance the ecological and environmental problems to the country attached." Chen Zhanheng believes that with the accelerated process of industrialization, environmental issues have come increasingly prominent government and corporate social responsibility should be shared.

Policies conducive to encouraging advanced and eliminate backward

In recent years, China is to save from the extensive development resources, environment friendly changes, prevention and control efforts for the non-ferrous metal industry and heavy metal pollution is increasing. In the rare earth side, in April 2011, the ministry has embarked on rare corporate environmental inspections, mainly on the production and safety aspects of rare earth enterprises discharge standards, and so do the specific demands.

To further speed up the rare earth industry, advanced clean production technology application and promotion, to improve the industry clean production level, in February 2014, the Ministry issued a "rare earth industry clean production technology implementation plan" to encourage enterprises to technological innovation, in terms of energy conservation on the rare earth enterprises put forward higher requirements in order to achieve the prevention and reduction of pollutants from the source of production to achieve clean development.

According to the relevant industry, the establishment of "index system" is based on the relevant national industrial development, technological advances, environmental policy and the rare earth industry development plan and other relevant documents. These documents relate to the enterprise cleaner production, a clear limit to encourage and technology development, pointing out the accelerated phase-out of content, and made a number of specific targets. These are the establishment of the index system foundation.

The industry source said, "index system" in the relevant index is based on the principles of clean production and measurable indicators of selected, divided into two types of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Quantitative indicators chosen representative, can reflect "energy", "saving", "abatement" and "efficiency" and other indicators related to the ultimate goal of cleaner production and comprehensive evaluation of the situation of enterprises to implement cleaner production and cleaner production level ; and qualitative indicators based on the implementation of the relevant state industrial development and technological advancement policy of clean production, resources, environmental protection policies and industry development planning, selection, appraisal business case for the implementation of relevant laws, regulations and standards policies. "" Indicator system "is not mandatory, but in the subsequent enactment of the rare earth industry policies and management measures will play an important role in the implementation, may promote cleaner production of rare earth industry to a higher level." An industry veteran analyst expressed.

"The" index system "of content compared to the previous policy is still relatively sound." Chenzhan Heng said the "index system" in production, mining, waste, etc. have done a detailed request, as a guiding document "index system" to guide and promote the rare earth enterprises to implement cleaner production, encourage advanced enterprises, eliminate backward enterprises.

Foreign media said the US Trade Representative Foluo Man May 4 statement on China to abolish export duties and quotas on rare earths, said that the Obama administration is committed to protecting the interests of American workers, and American rights, and once again that law enforcement can take strong trade and it has produced tangible results.

May 5, according to reports, China announced this year on May 1 has been canceled in violation of WTO rules rare earth export duties. Earlier this year, China also canceled the export quota for rare earths.

In August last year after the United States and other WTO appeal ruling partner countries, Chinese quotas and tariffs violated WTO rules on exports of rare earths.

US Trade Representative Foluo Man said that China's policy of forcing American manufacturers importing rare earths from China, must pay 300 percent higher than the cost Chinese competitors. Rare earths, tungsten, molybdenum, etc. It is important for the US manufacturing sector, the US production of hybrid car batteries, wind turbines, energy-efficient lighting, steel and advanced electronic equipment and many other products using these materials.

Foluo Man said, we will pay close attention to China's actions to ensure that these illegal policies and China in fact suspend full compliance with its obligations.

RE market today offer businesses continue to follow the day before watching the market. Rare earth products now offer a more stable, because the starting rare earth resources tax from the amount of taxable valorem May 1, present, many hold stocks for a change in policy on the sidelines, continued to fall in the price of rare earth products business is less. The current rise of the business is not much, the overall market is in equilibrium stage.

Currently products Dy also currently appears stable signs stabilized stabilized, the current tax price of dysprosium iron stable at between 168-170 yuan per ton. Praseodymium neodymium praseodymium neodymium metal products prices held steady in the low price 385,000 yuan / ton in the vicinity, Ganzhou supplier neodymium oxide, praseodymium steady at 295,000 yuan / ton.

Rare earth resources tax rules: according to the applicable tax rates in different parts of different methods of light rare earth resource tax, which, Inner Mongolia 11.5%, 9.5%, Sichuan, Shandong, 7.5 percent; and the heavy rare earth resource tax rate of 27% unity. This message is for the cost of rare earth products from the medium and long term has a strong supporting role, the latter of rare earth products continued to fall up little space, can expect rare earth prices rebounded moderately.

Recently, China's rare earth fiscal policies to make significant adjustments, first abolish export tariffs on rare earths, followed by lower rare earth resources tax. Ministry of Finance recently issued a notice, to adjust export tariffs on some products, which contains the rare earths this one, and the adjustment effective from May 1, 2015. April 28 the State Council executive meeting, the implementation of rare earth, tungsten, molybdenum resource tax reform, promoting rationalize resources tax relationship.

August 7, 2014, WTO finds that Chinese export restrictions on rare earths and other products violate WTO rules, that China's export duties and quotas for its failure to protect the environment or resource grounds justified. In January 2015, the Commerce Department announced the cancellation of rare earth export quota system.

After the export duties and export quotas, resource tax reform could increase resource tax rate, reference to other mineral resources tax levied, and included tax range. If, after considering the liberalization of export tariffs, rare earth prices can back up the possibility of a higher "ad valorem" option calls.

Although China's rare earth WTO lawsuit lost, we can not continue to use tariffs to protect rare earth resources, but WTO litigation since 2011, our country has accelerated the pace of implementation of the integration of the whole industrial chain of rare earth.

Since the 2011 establishment of the Office of Rare Earth, our country has formed a rare office led the joint Ministry of Land Resources, the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Commerce, General Administration of Customs and other six departments coordination mechanism. On the one hand, development of rare earth resources in a variety of offenses continued to maintain high-pressure situation, especially in southern areas of rare earth, after several rounds of crackdown, "black rare earth" substantially reduced, mining order effectively managed; on the other hand, accelerate the industry and mergers and reorganizations, Shoulong scattered mining permits in the market, the formation of the North earth, Ganzhou Rare Earth Rare Earth Group of six major focus of the main producing areas of different rare earth resources exploitation unified unified management. In addition, rare earth functional components to be integrated into the country's new materials industry development strategy to encourage downstream enterprises to actively carry out applied research, trying to cultivate a number of rare earth application of enterprise international competitiveness. From the strict management to market liberalization, experts point out that China's current management of rare earth resources, has achieved initial success, the rare earth resource tax can be appropriately adjusted, to ensure the supply of rare earth resources and services in the upgrading of China's economic transformation, which is conducive to promoting China RE downstream enterprises to reduce costs, increase R & D investment, promote the whole earth industry chain towards high-end level.

The industry believes that the rare earth resources end double reforms to strengthen management on the basis of norms to regulate the allocation of resources by market forces, which allows Chinese rare earth and downstream industries at the same time towards the end of more internationally competitive. However, we must clearly recognize that the current separation of rare earth smelting industry of serious excess capacity, upstream and downstream industries in the high-end products still have strong international competitiveness, in terms of development of new features rare behind the international frontier. On the whole chain of production and research of rare earth industry, the economic strength of China's rare earth field is still relatively low level. The liberalization of exports of rare earth and rare earth resources tax adjustment is able to usher in a new development opportunities for China's rare earth industry still depends on time and practice to verify.

Festival of rare earth products prices remain stable. Praseodymium neodymium based rare-earth products prices of basic and pre-holiday flat. Now the Ministry of Finance for the resource tax reform is a long-term cost of rare earth products support. But the rare earth market weakness has been a long time, the transaction is still in the stage light, praseodymium neodymium price currently offer basically do anything in the short term rare-earth prices is still stressful.

Financial Post rare earth resource tax rate on taxable embodiment, the light rare earth by region to implement the applicable tax rate from 11.5 to 7.5% of the heavy rare earth resource tax applicable tax rate is 27%. Countries hope through resource tax reform efforts to raise taxes, thereby increasing mining costs and export prices, so as to achieve mineral protection. Today, the state clearly tax standards "in accordance with the principle of no increase in the corporate tax rate to determine reasonable", significantly lower than market expectations. "Tariff elimination + resource tax burden unchanged", affected, significantly reducing the cost of short-term pressure upstream mining enterprises, and downstream transmission, indirectly help to improve the downstream demand.
