The many years of "fighting" formed by the rare earth industry are coming to an end. A national rare earth association with the functions of internal integration and external negotiation will soon be established.
A few days ago, the reporter was informed that the long-awaited China National Rare Earth Society has completed all the basic preparations and is expected to be established around the year 2011. By then, China's rare earth industry is expected to speak with one voice when it comes to internal and external, and the previous situation in which each company is fighting each other will be expected to improve.
Immediately after the establishment, the basic work for the preparation of the association including the selection of member units and the formulation of the articles of association has all been completed. When it is established, it depends on the approval progress of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. On December 8, Wang Caifeng, deputy inspector of the raw materials department of the Ministry of Industry and Information The reporter stated that the China Rare Earth Association is a national first-level association, and finally it needs to be reported to the State Council for approval.
Wang Caifeng, who had just retired last month, had previously presided over the preparatory work for the Chinese rare earth association and is still involved in the preparation of the rare earth office. She said that after the establishment of China's rare earth society, it will build a bridge between enterprises and the government and work with quota management.
In early November, Lin Donglu, secretary-general of the Chinese Society of Rare Earths, also confirmed to the media in Longyan, Fujian that the president of the China Earth Society has been identified and the association will soon be established. By then, the China Rare Earth Society and the China Earth Society will serve as the rare earth industry of China. "One body two wings" to jointly maintain the sustainable development of the rare earth industry.
"Actually, as early as July 2010, the application materials of the China Earth Society had already been approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, due to the fact that the president's candidates have not been selected, the final procedures have been delayed until now. The fastest is expected within the year." People told reporters.
As it belongs to the national first-level association and the competent department is the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, this makes the China Rare Earth Association has a similar status and role as the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, and is an industry association that is equal to the non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, lead and zinc. Higher level.

By then, China's rare earth industry is expected to speak with one voice when it comes to internal and external, and the previous situation in which each company is fighting each other will be expected to improve.
The chaos is expected to turn for the better. It is understood that the China Rare Earth Association aims to change the scattered situation in which the industry is divided into regions and enterprise groups, and organizes small and large rare earth enterprises to speak in a “voiceâ€.
Its functions are divided into two categories: internal and external, providing internal companies with production guidance, market research, industry management, intermediary services, trade friction warnings, and promotion of mergers and acquisitions, etc.; externally, they become bridges between companies and governments. Domestic and foreign markets will also provide policy references for export prices and export quotas. In addition, when a company encounters trade frictions abroad, the association can also help companies negotiate.
Since 2010, whenever international and domestic disputes involving rare earths occur, the international community will target the Chinese government. Without the buffer of trade associations, the Chinese government has often been detained with hats that interfere with the market economy and violate WTO rules. This situation is expected to be changed after the establishment of the China Earth Society, which will negotiate and negotiate with foreign companies on behalf of the Chinese rare earth industry.
An Sihu, assistant to director of the management committee of Baotou Rare Earth Hi-tech Zone, believes that the China Rare Earth Society not only can speak in the international trade on behalf of the Chinese rare earth industry, but also can do many things in lieu of the government. “In dealing with quotas, industry associations can negotiate Will not directly push our government to the front desk."
Wei Na, chairman of Sichuan Hanxin Mining Development Co., Ltd., told reporters that due to the lack of national industry associations, there is no unified market coordination mechanism, and the province’s internal consumption in the same kind of product market has also caused the industry interests to be damaged. Rare earths are also heavy rare earths in the south. Long-term vicious competitions among companies are ongoing. The prices of products do not go up, especially in the face of foreign investors. The interests of the entire industry will be damaged."
“The national policy must be directly transmitted to small and medium-sized enterprises. There is no organization and mobilization, and there is no buffer. It is difficult for local enterprises to implement policies.†Wei Na, who is also an entrepreneur, is also the standing director of Sichuan Rare Earth Industry Association. As for the benefits of the association, she expressed her deep understanding. "The self-discipline of enterprises is relatively poor, especially in the areas of limited production and pollutant discharge. If there is no industry organization to help restrain, there will be confusion."
Cautious Optimism Although the internal and external functions of the China Rare Earth Association will bring new hope to the Chinese rare earth industry, many insiders are cautiously optimistic about the upcoming role of the China Earth Society.
Nowadays, the rare earth industry has formed a pattern of co-management by various ministries, namely, the National Development and Reform Commission formulating macroeconomic policies, the Ministry of Land and Resources in charge of mining indicators, the Ministry of Industry and Information in charge of the total production quota, the Ministry of Commerce's mechanism for controlling export quotas, and related customs and the Ministry of Finance. Ministries participate in management.
However, due to the various ministries and commissions involved in the management of rare earths who perform their duties and do not have a certain degree of coordination, the industry calls it "Kowloon Water Control." However, at the beginning of 2010, led by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, relevant parties including the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Commerce, the Customs, and the Ministry of Finance had already established the “Rare Metal Inter-ministerial Coordination Mechanismâ€, and the coordination between the rare earth policies of various departments had been achieved and the policy was introduced. In agreement.
Industry insiders pointed out that the China Rare Earth Association is a non-governmental organization headed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and has a certain organization and restraint role for its member companies, but it has no decision power over the policy direction of the entire industry. Moreover, its management of the "Kowloon Water Control" is difficult to interfere.
Wang Zhongshan, deputy director of the Nanjing Rare Earth Applied Research Institute, believes that while the industry is being organized, it is necessary to further centralize the functions of the management department and completely change the situation of multi-headed management. However, the relevant persons of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology are not optimistic about this. He told reporters that although the "minor metal inter-ministerial coordination mechanism" was called "a quarrel platform", "but at least the final policy document was consistent and did not appear again. The phenomenon of fighting with documents and indicators."
But to establish a transcendence, even a rare earth management institution or mechanism that overrides the ministries and commissions is unlikely to change reality. “Even now, the inter-ministerial coordination mechanism covers the entire rare metal field, not for rare earths, rare earths. It is important, but after all, it is a small industry." The relevant person in the above-mentioned Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said.
