He also said the enterprise a lot of rare earth last year export quotas are useless over, because the price high in rare earth, and overseas demand decreases, and therefore did not China export restrictions.
The ministry of commerce, said after the raw material product export policy and related parties to keep communication and contact, repeated several times that the Chinese policy goal is to protect the resources and environment and realizing sustainable development, and not distort trade through the way to protect domestic industry.

The ministry of commerce TiaoFaSi priests LiChengGang said, feb. 22 after the European Union to WTO already of lawsuits made the final determination, that China in the rare earth export policy against WTO commitment and related regulations. "This decision is not too good for China, the outcome of litigation and some uncertainty."
LiChengGang says, because China's entry into the WTO a committed in the WTO protocol ", no longer in the protocol of attachment of the product are not imposed export tax, and rare earth does not listed in the attachment of 84 tax number, the WTO that accordingly, China imposed export tax of rare earth violates the previous commitments.
In addition, the rare earth export quotas on is also a lawsuit point of contention. According to the tariffs and trade (gatt), (1994) "regulation, in addition to tariffs and other related expenses besides, member states in principle cannot be the way of quota or license to import and export quantity limits, but also set some exception clause.
LiChengGang introduction, quoted exception clause to prove to comply with relevant conditions of China, because China finally failed to present evidence, lead to the final WTO of China is very bad.
For the suits China win the lawsuit geometry, LiChengGang and have not given to determine the answer. But he gave a data, says statistics found that appeal WTO cases, the accused can retreats rate is only 15%.
Raw material product export policy has yet to decide whether adjustment

LiChengGang, says the United States at this time in a lawsuit, and barack Obama faces political election into a heated state related.
LiChengGang says, and the European Union after three years of litigation, China products export of raw material management measures also had some thinking and related policy according to need to decide whether or not will be adjusted, but there is no clear idea of adjustment.
In addition to the rare earth, us and European and Mexico before China's alleged limits the nine widely used in steel, aluminum and chemical industry of the export of raw materials, the WTO ruling said: "China must be immediately reduce export tariffs, and remove export quota to comply with the it as the world trade organization member of obligation."
Foreign economics and trade university China the world trade organization, vice President of the institute TuXinQuan think this the lawsuit in nine previous content and the raw material of the lawsuit about, so the situation is not very good, but on the other hand WTO also may consider this the particularity of rare earth materials, as well as the domestic policy of rare earth management is very strict, and it is not ruled out different results.
He further pointed out that if China losing may, within a reasonable period of time, have to adjust the export quotas, export tax and other measures. But also have ideas that rare earth export control on domestic rare earth will tell the no impact, protection of rare earth resources from domestic mining or strategic management, collection agent resource, environment tax and weight of control. So even in export restrictions following lost, to the management of China's rare earth is less export restrictions this approach, and the overall speaking it's not that big a deal
