EU trade publication of the draft new strategic impact China weak industry

The EU has recently announced the next ten years a new strategy for industrial development, while at the same time, the media also revealed the new EU trade strategy, which indicates that the "EU 2020 strategy" of important details begin to display luzhenrong. "Strategic" to "12 five" period of China's economic transformation provides the inspiration for the expansion of EU economic and trade cooperation brings new opportunities. However, some of the new policy particularly weak trade strategy on China-EU economic and trade industry and potential adverse effects worthy of vigilance.

Industry, trade segmentation strategy revealed

The European Commission on 28 October launched a new strategy for industrial development, made the top ten industrial revitalization initiative, including the improvement of legislation supporting small and medium enterprises development, strengthening EU standardization and improvement of infrastructure, etc.

At the same time, it has been disclosed, the EU's future waimei ten years trade new draft strategy mainly consists of two main elements: first, to protect their access to the raw materials market, the second is support for free trade. Bill pointed out: "sustainable and smooth raw materials and energy supply, competitiveness for the EU economy, and strategic importance, and many countries outside the European Union's industrial policy in manufacturing supply bottlenecks, and other obstacles. ”

On the positive significance of China

The European Union to consolidate the industry practice implications of China's economic transition to always maintain the economy of "productive".

For a long time, the industry has been the dominant industry in the countries of the European Union. However, as some European countries over the pursuit of "economy and finance", causing economic loss "productive" this growth basis, eventually caught in crisis addicted, and those who possess a strong industrial base of countries such as Germany, has achieved a strong recovery. Therefore, the EU has introduced a new strategy of industrial development focused on consolidation of the industrial advantage.

This warning to China's economic transition in the development of financial and other virtual industry at the same time, it is important to ensure that the economic entities in the industry have sufficient "productive".

On the other hand, the EU will launch the top ten industrial revitalization initiatives. Through the introduction of the EU's high-tech, as China's economic restructuring to provide a good technical support. In addition, the EU trade strategy in support of the principle of free trade, as well as strengthening EU standardization, improvement of infrastructure and other specific actions, the more beneficial to our company and products entering the EU market.

The three should be alert to potential adverse effects

At the same time, the EU is part of the new policy is more "protectionist" and "offensive". It-related industries in China and the EU economic and trade development has the potential of adverse effects must arouse our great attention and vigilance.

First, new EU strategic raw materials may be raised with our more trade friction. The European Commission announced the industrial strategy also proposes to develop a new strategic raw materials, focusing on States to limit the export of raw materials, as well as the policy of government subsidies. At the same time, EU trade strategy draft also pointed out that no country hinders the economic development of the EU for the rare raw materials or energy, will take punitive measures. However, the structure from which the European Union, the EU has many raw materials are imported from China. It is expected that the EU is the targeted policy is very easy to raise Europe's trade friction, or even the entire economy, foreign relations of tension, because most of the strategic resources of raw materials, related to countries ' economic security.

Second, the EU trade protection means more intensive, more easily on my form trade protection. The EU will promote the above industrial industry technical standards, which for its part will be the new pressures. The EU can rely on the standard-setting in the hands of the right to limit and block our products entering the EU market. At the same time, the European Commission also pointed out that the future EU industrial development policies in the EU-level coordination, once the EU States to strengthen the integration of industrial policy, on the possibility of forming a barrier to trade and the damage will be increased significantly. The European Commission in the strategy explicitly said: "to give strategic industry subsidies, the EU will take punitive measures, such as the protective tariff. ”

Third, the EU put pressure on me to further market opening, the weak will impact the domestic industry. The draft EU trade strategy stated that its China encountered obstacles, including intellectual property protection, the transparency of the standardization system, certification program complexity and priority of local manufacturers, raw materials, to put pressure on China's further liberalisation of market access. EU trade strategy is the new content requires a more equitable access to developed country and large emerging economies, government procurement markets, while the latter is considered it is referring to China. To this end, the EU would like to urge China to sign agreement on government procurement (GPA), forcing China to further open up public procurement markets. Obviously, once the further liberalisation of market access, the dominant industry in EU competition, the country's weak industry would be seriously challenged.

Believe in these five years, China's foreign trade structure would be greatly enhanced. ”

From energy-saving environmental protection to market integration: the Chinese foreign trade designation "12" deep tune "five red line"

Among the many foreign trade companies and business people, it seems increasingly clear "12 five" planning for the Chinese foreign trade "Center of gravity" of the blueprint and just landed in foreign trade industry itself, China's macroeconomic decision-making oriented "red line" effect is more worthy of attention.

Analysis from authoritative sources pointed out that the most interesting one of the "red line" is for ecological civilization of the high demand.

But the good news is that many foreign trade companies of the eyes begin to focus on the domestic market. "The Government advocated the importance we attach to the domestic market, the development of the enterprise's five-year plan, we are also focused on how to keep pace with this trend. "Shandong mountains and glass products co., Ltd. Chairman of the Board is the sturdy pine tree said, the company began operations from the domestic market in 2008, is now in the country there are about 100" HOS element "counter, the proportion of total sales from 2009 5% to 10% of this year, the future will be further expanded.

From the export base to speed up the "going out": China's active "create" a new advantage international competition

Guangdong fluffy ceramic General Manager Lin Road-in Canton fair scene told reporters, the CPC Central Committee in five of the "twelve" planning proposals put forward, to encourage the creation of the "China's foreign trade actively participate in international economic cooperation and competitive advantage."

In accelerating the establishment of cross-border economic cooperation zone

Dandong will be "two island" development as an opportunity, as the international situation, China and Korea and trade exchanges are quietly changing.

In only one river with the DPRK of North-Eastern border town of Dandong, China merchants on the river the land is full of complicated feelings. On the one hand, pending development of border trade there is huge opportunity; on the other hand, irregular market and asymmetrical trade also let China's border trade merchants at risk.

According to customs statistics, 2008 Sino-Korean trade 27.93 billion, an increase of 41.3 per cent. Among them, China export 20.3 billion, an increase of 46 percent, and imports 7.6 billion, an increase of 30.2 per cent. The present and the Korean economic cooperation of countries mainly in China and Korea.

October 13, the DPRK counter-trade trade in Tumen city officially opened. Through trade, border residents can enjoy into Chinese in the territory of goods per person per day 8000 RMB following mutual market goods exempt from customs duties and import link tax policy.

Commerce Department data showing that the DPRK is in the third quarter of this year's trade $ 10.73 million. In the same period, the Korean exports to China 6.27 million increase from last year ($ 2.52) 2.5 times.

Since 2002, the Korean economic policy adjustment, China many enterprises have seen the economic policies of the excellent open and its prospects and business opportunities to North Korea borders as intermediary started on the investment. In 2004 alone, the total amount of 5900 for attracting foreign investment, China reached US $ 50 million, accounting for 85%. According to the Korea the Central Daily News "reported that in 2004 entered North Korean foreign enterprises about 300, of which 40% is Chinese enterprises.

Âșliaoningdandong leverage their unique geographical conditions for the development of port economic, there are nearly 600 of border trade enterprise, nearly 100 people rely on food meal "survival" border trade. But the strange thing is that this so-called 600 companies in more than half of the investments from inland.

"Our investment, mostly in inland areas. Some qualifications darker border trade company and the business would be more prudent, before many companies had to face this new experience. "A bit in Dandong border trade for many years engaged in the profession.

Dilemma: funds reflowing and planned

DPRK's early border trade transactions mainly rely on aquatic products, the more common goods is dry and bright flowers clams are too dry fish. At that time did not like this through port shipments, but by the North Korean border entrainment, provided that they do not exceed the weight of the official rules, all of the time is allowed. After entering the inhabitants will direct sell aquatic products, its prices generally and domestic market prices comparable to, but in quality than domestic.

Until now, the seafood market remains active in trade. Every day, the Korean companies organization Korean fishermen will be all kinds of fresh scallops, squid, crab fishing from the sea shore, logistics freight cars from the East coast of North Korea, after a dozen hours arrived in China. There are many inland traders, awaiting the arrival of fresh goods. After loading unloading, transportation to Shandong, Beijing, Shanghai and other places on the market.

Although the market for free, business, but in trade always does so like other border areas.

It is understood that the Chinese enterprises in cooperation with the DPRK will not be able to direct business to business, and local government, the trade is mostly food barter, very little cash transactions. Until now, the Korean or need to use day-to-day supplies and food to exchange goods with China.

"The Korean trading company size is not very small, but it is purely a planned economy, (North Korea) Central approval a commodity prices after the contract, even if that product's production cost prices, it is difficult to further bargaining space. So the domestic enterprises are basically in the contend exports to Korea's first batch of goods. You don't have to lose money. "One of the industry.

In addition, because of the serious phenomenon of Korean enterprises and postage due is very difficult to want to return to border trade company with sorrow, but also for toddler-Korea trade.

The Chinese side will develop the second island

However, the journalists visited several Dandong border trade enterprises, local larger border business-to-Korean trade is happening concerns, in a dilemma, and those emerging from the mainland investors on Sino-Korean trade towards very confident.

"My company has just set up soon, chose this racket, because currently, North Korea may gradually open up, this is the investment opportunity. "A newly comers private investment company CEO said.

According to the data records that the DPRK from China imports of goods, including petroleum and corn to the Chinese export commodities, mainly coal and iron ore.

With the wood of the barren, combined with the domestic steel mills want to be able to get more expensive raw materials, the DPRK will develop resources to iron ore, iron ore. "The early years in trade main timber and marine products, iron ore trade from around 2005. "A study in the history of the experts said.

With the increasingly close cooperation, Korea trade will then step forward. Global times invoked the Korea Korea daily, October 28, exclusive says North Korea will be located in the Yalu River on enchante island and gold ping Island in the form of a lease by the China Development, lease from 50 years to honor extended to 100 years, to the second island into a Korean version of Hong Kong.

At the same time, Dandong "12 five" plan will be mentioned in the draft to the "two in Dandong island" development open as an opportunity to accelerate the establishment of the trade area, in the comprehensive bonded area, the border towards cross-border economic cooperation zone and overseas economic cooperation zone, actively seeking to expand the Dandong border economic cooperation.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce press spokesman Yao Jian 2nd, the Xinhua News Agency said, given the recent rare earth export quotas have been slashed, next year China rare earth export volumes decline rate will not be too large.

Yao Jian said: "for the protection of resources and environment, next year China will remain on the management of rare earth export quotas, and quota will be reduced. ”

Yao kin didn't give out specific reductions, but his latest statement can be regarded as China's Vice Minister of Commerce Chen Jian Monday to the position of the media to further elaborate.

Chen Jian Monday on foreign media that 2011 China rare earth export will not be substantial growth, it will not be substantially reduced.

Chen Jian pointed out that, although China rare earth export management, but without limitation, rare earth export or maintained a certain amount of growth, but is not a casual, through the quota management tools.

Rare is the chemical element in the periodic table of Lanthanide elements, including 17 kinds of chemical elements, widely used in high technology and military fields. In recent years, with high-tech industry is developing rapidly, global demand for rare earths and consumption is growing fast.

Senior Chinese Government officials pointed out that China will strictly protect rare this valuable resource is not renewable, prevent it from being excessive exploitation, especially the indiscriminate drilling indiscriminate mining cause serious environmental damage.

China 1998 began implementation of rare earth products export quota permit system, and the inclusion of rare earth materials processing trade prohibition of class catalog. In 2006, China stopped issuing new rare earth minerals mining licenses, and on rare earth ore mining implemented mandatory plans.

In addition to the control of rare earth export quotas and reduce annual rare ore extraction volume, China has gradually increased the concentration of rare earth industry. Early September this year, the State Council officially released on the promotion of enterprise merger and reorganization of opinion ", the first time rare earth as a key industry merger and reorganization of the list.

However, the Chinese Government on rare earth industry regulation measures abroad, especially those in Europe, the controversial. Some countries even accused China is monopolized resources and rare-earth as a tool of political pressure, a serious violation of the WTO rules, ask the Chinese to relax control of rare earth industry.

To this end, the Minister of Commerce Chen Deming of China stated that China rare earth industry mainly for reasons of environmental protection, is a "last resort". China rare earth export is to promote economic development, but also to consider the protection of the environment and national security, and other factors.

This year, some Western countries against Chinese control management of rare earth export problems launching the "blame" constantly upgraded. China Ministry of industry and information News Department said that China would not be carried out with other rare earth as "bargaining tool."

Beijing, some analysts believe that the US, Europe and China's accusations and attacks is untenable and ulterior motives.

"US-EU policy on resource products is generally the first use of global resources, and finally mining your own resources, and ways to maintain their dispute is their common interests. "China economics China WTO Dean Zhang Lin said.

At present, China rare earth reserves account for approximately 30% of the world, but the trade volume was accounted for in the global trading volume of more than 90%. "China rare earth production scale in the global share of above re reserves worldwide accounted for more than, a significant number of countries on the reserve of rare resources. "Yao Jian said.

Previously there was media coverage means that China 2011 has the potential to further reduce the export quotas of rare earth resources, the highest rate will amount to 30%.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce official responsible for the last month in response to this, said the Chinese Government will yield under rare earth, domestic and international requirements and the needs of sustainable development, comprehensive study, to develop a reasonable amount of export quotas in 2011.

The official said that China would continue to supply rare earth, at the same time to protect may run out of resources and sustainable development of China will also continue on rare-Earth exploration, production and export of various links in the implementation of restrictive measures, related management measures and the WTO rules do not conflict.

"Some countries limit their own resources to meet the trade export laws and regulations on the transparency of rules and requirements that China should further lessons in practice, the protection of strategic resources development not being led by the nose. "Shanghai WTO Affairs Advisory Center Business Director Feng Jun said.

Acquisition of European companies China Xieqi ushered in the era of the "anti-Foundry"

Global smart manufacturing organization President ClaudioR.Boer recently to frequent visits to Dongguan, Guangdong Province, foreign economic adviser, he is a Chinese name for "Bole". Many factories in Guangdong, he hoped to phase "right-hand man", the use of European scientific and technological innovation to help China manufacturing transition update.

In the Bole of the mobile phone, the collection at the fish shape and other stylish shoes, the growth of Switzerland in Italy, subtle effect by Italy footwear. Italy is world traditional footwear and export power, the selection of high quality shoes in science, design ideas, and so lead the trend of the world, has been on the international market with high-quality high-priced brand effect in occupies a high-end market. Bole this decades obsessed study European shoe technology and design.

James Blake in the business news on the reporter said that labour cost increases, the appreciation of the renminbi and other factors, whether active or passive, is in speed up China Xieqi transformation and upgrading. Some Chinese no longer play Foundry Xieqi, as with international enterprises in the manufacturing, research and development design, market and brand, and other links of cooperation to enhance, extend to both ends of the value chain and gradually acquired the right to speak.

World consumption patterns change quietly, global industry chain are adjusted accordingly. Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis, in Europe and the market has not yet recovered, the Chinese consumer market and unique, this is a Chinese enterprises, especially clothing and comfortable shoes, kuaixiaopin enterprises to create a wonderful birds, "anti-Foundry" era is coming.

Let Europe Xieqi Foundry

Resolutely not OEM, Guangzhou tianchuang shoes co., Ltd. Chairman of beam yaohua go a step further. Founded in 1991, even if the shoe has encountered many difficulties, he was insisting on this point, a Hong Kong capital with many different routes xieqi. Today, he's not only not as others xieqi do wedding, and even let the European brand for their own xieqi do OEM.

Have done electronics, shoes and other products for traders, yaohua very clear generation factory in the industrial chain in the awkward position of research and development, brand design and market core parts are mastered in the hands of others, if not in the core values of some breakthroughs, the road only gets narrower.

"Electronic product generation of factories in the 1980s the profit of approximately 6%, now generally decline to 1%-2%, with the increasing costs of labor, and so on, this is the inevitable trend, however, the electronics industry to be in core technology breakthrough very difficult, the design of space is limited, but in shoes, clothing this class extends the value kuaixiaopin relatively easy, mainly from the grasp the consumer psychology and fashion design breakthrough. "Electronic engineers of beam yaohua explains why turn into shoes industry.

In the early 1990s, most of the Pearl River Delta are also busy xieqi OEM export market in China, almost no brand shoes, beam yaohua began targeting "women shoes brand", and Belle, Saturday, and other enterprises to become China's shoes to the founder of the first generation of the brand.

Today's market, the number of enterprises have a good grasp of development opportunities. At present, the sky creation in the country has 15 shoe branch, 800 retail stores, independent brands kissing cat (KISSCAT) sales for six consecutive years in the women's market in the first five.

In preemption in the domestic market, this enterprise has been concerned with design, years, day invasive has been working with European more closely with the Design Studio, the European leading the fashion trend of design styles into his own shoes. However, this is not enough, or unable to learn the European shoe's craft.

In 2008, beam yaohua and Europe already have 80 years history of Spain reached cooperation, Patricia brand in Beijing to set up a company, he shares 75%, absolute control. Under the influence of the financial crisis, Europe and consumer ecofriendly, many European brands have eyeing China market. Patricia brand in China market in 30 years of brand management to create company operating day. Beam yaohua took Patricia brand shoes all imported from Europe, in addition, he will kiss the cat and other independent brand of some orders to EU footwear factories manufacturing.

Grasp the domestic market Terminal channels and pricing power, even if the manufacturing costs, a brand can withstand xieqi or. While this year only the labor cost is increased by 28%, rising costs apportioned over to each pair of shoes to price increases, customers are also acceptable.

But European manufacturing price generally high. "At present, domestic consumers can afford our shop at the price of imported shoes in Europe, but these shoes can make a little profit. Therefore, the European manufacturing accounting for the proportion of our footwear products, only a few percentage points. "Beam yaohua said.

In contrast, China is a pair of leather shoes export price to $ 50, and from the European purchasing a pair of shoes in the non-paid, basic to $ 400 plus tariff and logistics costs, some imported shoes in the shelves of the cost price has reached 1000 $/pair, made in China than in occupies a significant European manufacturing cost advantage, and the European shoe workers less and less, hundreds of people's shoes factory is very rare, productivity significantly behind.

Beam yaohua also said that the Commission of the European shoe factory production only phase behavior, not a trend, this stage is to study European shoe technology, design, and get fashion information, by working together to further enhance the competitive advantages of the shoes.

Following a successful initial public offering of Belle, Saturday, day after creating footwear is also started listing plan. For beam yaohua is concerned, with the capital operation of accelerating brand expansion is one of the direction, he conceded, not excluding overseas acquisitions brand to enter the international market.
