Ministry of Industry and Information Technology prepares to establish a national rare earth association

“The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is preparing to establish a national rare earth association.” Zhang Anwen, deputy secretary general of the China Rare Earth Society, told the Morning Post that industry associations have been established in almost every industry, but the rare earth industry alone. Zhang Anwen believes that the original intention of the establishment of a national rare earth industry association is to self-regulate the rare earth industry. "This is also a big step forward for defending the rare earth."

The strategic reserve system has not seen any movement
According to Zhang Anwen, the biggest problem in the rare earth industry for a long time is that the resources and main bodies of the industry are too scattered, and the scattered status is easily broken by the outside world, so it is difficult to grasp the pricing power of rare earth.

"Many experts have called for the establishment of a rare earth strategic reserve system, but so far no movement." Zhang Anwen said that the problems of rare earths have been questioned for many years, and the central leaders have also asked them, but these problems have not been resolved. He believes that these changes must be made. The key issue is to protect the rare earth from the perspective of legislation. In addition, it should also change the government's view of political achievements. "The rare earth problem can not be solved simply by saying that there are many factors left there. Leaders can't be said to care, but the problem always exists. ”

In the 1990s, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Economic and Trade Commission led the decision to establish two major rare earth groups in the South and the North. The idea was to establish a Northern Group led by Baotou Steel and a Southern Group led by China Aluminum. “But it will not be later. It is."

An Sihu, assistant director of the Baotou Rare Earth High-tech Zone Management Committee, believes that the reason for this is nothing more than departmental issues, interest issues, and local government's one-sided pursuit of GDP. These are not well coordinated. An Sihu believes that the other most important reason is that the level of the Rare Earth authorities is too low. “There is no department-level competent department, and it is also possible to set up a deputy-level management. Now it is difficult to coordinate with some department-level units. ”

In August 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the “three-set” plan, canceled the rare earth office under the Ministry of Industry, and assigned the relevant duties of the development of the rare earth industry to the Raw Materials Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, the Metallurgical Building Materials Department of the Industrial Development and Reform Commission of the National Development and Reform Commission still Retain relevant authority.

Rare earth prices urgently need to be "controlled"

An Sihu said that the establishment of a national reserve system would be of great benefit to stabilizing the price of rare earths. From last year to the beginning of this year, with the impact of the financial crisis, the price of rare earths is gradually decreasing. However, with the acquisition of rare earth by Baotou Steel, the price has been relatively stable, and the price has rebounded slightly.

An Sihu said that the reduction of rare earth prices has a great impact on enterprises. In the past, foreign manufacturers signed orders for three to five years, but now they only have half a month to sign, and almost no long orders are signed. When the price of rare earths is reduced, foreign manufacturers purchase a large amount of rare earth raw materials; when the price of rare earths rises, foreign manufacturers do not buy them, using the previous storage to suppress Chinese rare earths.

He said that if the national reserve system is established, when the domestic rare earth price is lowered, the state purchases rare earths and stabilizes the price, so there will be no phenomenon of rare earth being sold.

An Sihu believes that the state should establish a rare earth reserve mechanism and mobilize local enthusiasm. When the price of rare earth is low, the state will pay for it, so that it has mastered the pricing power of rare earth prices. Otherwise, the sale of crazy prices everywhere, the right to speak the price of rare earth can not be mastered.

On October 21, 2008, China's Rare Earth Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance was established in Baotou City. The alliance consists of 17 rare earth backbone enterprises, including Baotou Steel Rare Earth High-Tech Co., Ltd., and 13 research institutes and universities with strong strength in Rare Earth R&D in the United Nations.

Zhang Anwen said that the establishment of the alliance is actually to integrate all the technical forces in China and change the current predicament of the rare earth industry.

Another key element in mastering the right to speak about rare earth prices is the need to develop high-tech products for deep processing. Cui Chen, chairman of the China Rare Earth Industry Technology Innovation Strategy Alliance, said that all members of the strategic alliance should take the responsibility of solving the key technologies of the rare earth industry and extend the rare earth industrial chain.

An Sihu said that although the rare earth industry has formulated a national directive plan every year, it is difficult to implement it because local governments are not "respecting" and have no enthusiasm, and national reserves can drive the enthusiasm of local governments.

On May 5, some media reported that the relevant state departments are formulating new energy industry revitalization plans, and the development indicators involving new energy will be greatly improved. An Sihu hopes that in this plan, the rare earth industry can get the support of the state and safeguard the development of rare earth by establishing a national reserve mechanism.
