Department of Commerce: actively cope anti-subsidy investigation in order to create a good environment for the development of foreign trade

Current trade friction in China face grim, face the task very difficult. Today, I would like to take this opportunity, combined with the current situation of foreign trade, deal with trade disputes, especially against foreign anti-subsidy investigation on views.

First, foreign trade situation more complicated this year

Foreign trade is an important part of the national economy, the international financial crisis, China's foreign trade development situation is complex, reflected in the following areas:

(A) insufficient foreign demand remains outstanding problems

The current world economic recovery of the inner power shortage, sovereign debt crisis, Europe and the United States and other developed countries of high unemployment, the international financial crisis still exists at the end of the second exploration, international demand has not yet been recovered.

(Ii) export costs sustained and rapid rise

This year, iron ore, coal, cotton, natural rubber, international price increases of raw materials, labor and shipping costs rising credit tightened so that the financial cost significantly increases enterprise export profit space will further narrowed.

(3) further intensified international competition in the market

China's exports are facing competition from developing countries, and also facing developed countries. Emerging developing countries to further intensify the export support to encourage enterprises to further expand export; developed countries have also taken a more proactive foreign trade policy. United States has made national export initiative, an "export promotion Cabinet", aiming for 5 years to become the first export countries, exports doubled, and introduction to increase SME financing, and a series of measures to support the export policy. China's export dual pressure, more intense competition.

Second, the situation is more severe trade friction

The international financial crisis has also enabled me to face the situation more serious trade friction, friction with trading partners and the intensification of the conflict.

(A) I am a trade friction maximum injured State

In 2009, there are 22 countries (regions) on my since the product launch of 116, total trade remedy investigations case value of about 127 billion, an increase of 23% respectively and 102% over the same period in the world, approximately 43% of the total number of cases. From January to May this year, a total of 14 countries (regions) on my since the product launched 31, total trade remedy investigations about 18 billion text value. China has become the trade friction first target countries and the most affected countries. In addition to product friction, the RMB exchange rate, market access, intellectual property, "carbon tariffs" system and the policy level differences friction also intertwined. In the near future, I trade with Western countries, not only for tribological's export product, it will behave as economic development strategy, the macro level of collision and conflict.

Countervailing is my trade friction should focus on, and there are several trends: a ever diffusion anti-subsidy investigation, at the end of may, the total experience in Canada, the United States, South Africa, India, Australia and the EU launched a survey of anti-dumping, anti-subsidy merge, I have 40 years to become a prime target countries. Second, the United States and other countries do not recognize the Chinese market economy status, use the alternative State, external benchmarks and negative facts, not reasonable practices, finding high anti-dumping and countervailing duties. Third, the subsidy investigation project increasing adverse effects.

(Ii) trade friction has entered the calamity

I export products from trade friction is my international environment, stages of development and industrial structure, is my economic development and the role of the external environment changes integrated. Our judgment is now China has entered the trade friction calamity, in future, for a long period of time, China faces more trade friction, more and more complex.

Trade friction weakened I export products of international competitiveness, to increase the difficulty of developing the international market, increasing China's economy running external risks. We should pay great attention to properly respond positively.

(3) trade friction should work a lot of favorable factors

First, as I continue to enhance the overall national strength, including the countries of the Western countries, rely on China will continue to rise. Second, the financial crisis I in g-20 Summit, APEC and bilateral Summit, and other occasions stated opposition to trade investment protectionism, occupies a commanding point international moral. Third, to the WTO as the representative of the multilateral trading system and rules in terms of restricting trade protectionism still play an important role. Fourth, after many years, my Government departments and associations, enterprises have accumulated trade friction with experience and ability to cope with the ever-growing team.

Economic globalization and trade liberalization brought me great development opportunities, and also made a serious challenge. Current trade friction situation remains very serious. We want to objective dialectically trade friction, trade friction is the economic development of the external environment of the results, both for economic reasons, but also political reasons. As long as we pay great attention to the positive response, the negative impact to a minimum.

Third, active and effective response to the anti-subsidy investigation

The Party Central Committee and State Council attaches great importance to trade friction response. Follow the instructions and requirements of the State Council, Department of Commerce in each relevant sector support, in the local business departments, associations and enterprises actively, carry out a lot of work, and achieved certain results. Borrow this working meeting of the national subsidy should, I should work on several countervailing measures.

First, it is necessary to attach great importance to fully understand our country faced countervailing investigations situation and respond to the necessity and the complexity of work, ideas, awareness-raising, actively cope.

2. countervailing response to symptoms, lies at the root. According to the country's particular economic development needs, and constantly improve the related policies and measures to maintain the policy measures in line with WTO rules.

The third is to rely on mechanisms to strengthen horizontal coordination and cooperation. Government departments, associations and enterprises form a joint force, join the response.

Fourth, it is necessary to further

Do norms and untangle the subsidy policies and measures. Governments concerned to continue streamlining and standardizing the local subsidy policies and measures, in accordance with relevant WTO provisions and I WTO commitments promptly adjust related policies and measures.

The fifth is to further improve capacity-building. To a variety of ways to strengthen the learning and training, the training as soon as possible a lean, efficient response team of countervailing.

Comrades, trade disputes and should work without the strong support of the various departments and local, trade associations, trade associations, enterprises actively cooperate. I'm here to participate in the work units, departments, and comrades to express my heartfelt thanks! trade friction response arduous tasks, responsibility. We want to strengthen their confidence and solid work to forge ahead, creatively, as China's foreign trade in sustainable, stable and healthy development to make a greater contribution.

Thank you!
