Chinese Rare earth launches discourse power jihad

Chinese rare earths launch a "holy war" with the right to speak. "Despite yesterday's announcement of the first batch of Rare-earth export quotas next year, Guo Lin is located in the private rare earth manufacturers absent, in the marketing department he has already thought of the countermeasures," the result is not unexpected, the company output did not meet the standards, the early declaration of export qualification failed, so this year or go the old road of last year, Get the quota from the middle trader. "When it comes to" scraping the covers, there are many small and medium producers.　　The reporter noted that the first batch of Rare-earth export quotas for the next year's two import and export companies, although only accounted for 14446 tons of the total quota of 6.4%, because the price per ton, used to buy a small percentage of the cost of a quota of up to millions of yuan, or even almost cover the small manufacturers of all export profits The quota dispute yesterday announced two import and export company already is in recent years "The Old Face"-"the national character Head" China nonferrous metals import and export Jiangsu Company, Guangdong Guang Sheng nonferrous Metals import and Export limited, obtained 493 tons and 431 tons quota number respectively. "The Distributor has become the upstream of the production enterprise, in recent years the price unexpectedly soared 100 times times."　　Guo Lin told reporters. Industry insiders to reporters, the current Rare-earth Export Quota index Market "guidance" called 120,000-170,000 yuan/ton. "The actual purchase price is not only, but also a large amount of ' PR ' costs, between 180,000-200,000 yuan per ton."　　"In other words, the two traders can enjoy tens of millions of of their income by buying and selling quotas." In fact, it is hard to find a priceless price. Because of the country's export quotas for rare earths tightening management, in addition to trading companies, to get quotas of the entity manufacturers are not enough internal digestion. The reporter learned that, despite prior clarification from the Ministry of Commerce, the first batch of export quotas will be reduced by 10% over the same period next year.　　Many people in the industry have analyzed the reporter, the annual quota situation is not easy to judge, but continue to "tighten" is a big probability event. After the 04 to 09, the annual decline in export quotas of less than 10% of the moderate range, last year, China's rare earth regulatory policy suddenly intensified. China's total Rare-earth export quotas for 2010 were only 30258 tonnes, according to the Ministry of Commerce, with a decrease of nearly 40% compared with 2009.　　On the list published yesterday, the company's top quota is 954 tonnes.　　However, people familiar with the matter told reporters that the "toiled" producers and "fallout" traders between the protracted price game is expected to be in the Ming and the next years, the future export qualification will only be open to the entity manufacturers. Sniper "Cabbage price" but in this division of labor system, production enterprises also to engage in circulation, whether it is conducive to international pricing, it is not easy to say. "There are senior people who are concerned about the bargaining skills of manufacturing companies."　　That would be against the original intention of tightening the quota "bag" every year. According to the reporter understand, rare earths as "modern industrial vitamins", although China has accounted for about 30% of the world's reserves, once "open the door" to supply more than 95% of the international market demand, butIt has been hard to get rid of the "sale" fate.　　China's Rare Earth Society statistics show that 04 compared with 89, the number of Rare-earth enterprises increased 4 times times, the production of concentrate is twice times, the production of single rare Earth oxides increases 160 times times, the production of single rare earth metal increases 120 times times, the production of ND-FE-B increases by 141 times times, and the sales income increase by 16 times times, the profits and taxes increase by 10 times times, and the export gain is about 3 times times more　　In recent years, China has insisted on the "price rise" combination strategy "Sniper" the International market, "Chinese cabbage prices", measures include the freezing of new mining permits, limit the amount of mining, and the most important part of the circulation is to control export quotas. Such a punch, has been effective. Business Society data show that December 28, domestic neodymium oxide price reached 250,000-260,000 yuan/ton, praseodymium oxide reached 230,000-235,000 yuan/ton.　　and January 6, the price of neodymium oxide is only 122,000 yuan-120,000 yuan/ton, the year rose more than 100%; Praseodymium oxide before the statistics of 117,000 yuan/ton to 125,000 yuan/ton, the year's increase also has 88%. However, Chou, deputy director of the Strategic Advisory Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said restricting exports could not improve the competitiveness of China's rare-earth industry. "A tax system that encourages technological innovation should be set up to subsidize the development of Rare-earth enterprises with some of the taxes levied," he said.　　He suggested that a punitive resource tax and export tariffs could be levied on the lower-value-added raw minerals and primary products. In addition to the Ministry of Commerce next year may be the export quota restrictions on the end of the next year, the rare earths market policy face another aspect is the country-level industry association is about to be born.　　A few days ago, the Ministry of Raw Materials Industry division of the former deputy Inspector Wang Caifeng publicly said that China's rare earth Industry Association will be set up before and after "51" next year, in the standardization of industry development, Rare-earth product pricing will play an internal integration, the role of foreign negotiations. Wang Caifeng, who has just retired, is considered by the market to be the first choice of the "China-Dilute association" council. The history of its Ministry of the department can show the "China-Dilute association" national-level associations, and the head of the Ministry of Management identity. and Baotou Steel and Minmetals are likely to take turns as the association's chairman unit.　　There is news that the "China-Dilute association" will be composed of at least 93 enterprises, than the same is non-ferrous metals copper, aluminum, lead, zinc and other elements of the industry association of higher level. The group can join forces, and also easily produce coordination problems. Rare earth management involves multiple ministries and management, the various ministries "collision" phenomenon can be dissolved by the joint efforts of industry associations, is still unknown. After all, rare earths are a small industry under a rare metal branch, and it is unlikely that a rare earth regulatory agency or mechanism would be set up above ministries. In addition, because the "Sino-Dilute association" is still a non-governmental organization, in the context of excessive administrative interference in the market, whether it can influence the future decision-making direction and the holding group to play a pricing discourse right now, it seems I am afraid is just a longing.
