China’s defeat on export restriction case not to hit yellow phosphorus

phosphorusOn Jan. 30th, 2012, World Trade Organization (WTO) adjudicated that China's export restriction on nine types of raw materials is illegal. Amongst the nine types of materials in the ruling, yellow phosphorus is included.

On the very next day, China's Ministry of Commerce made a response that China set the export rules for protecting resources and maintaining the sustainable development of these resources. After review of this verdict, China declared it will adopt scientific methods to administrate export of these resources in accordance with WTO rules, although it viewed such export restriction legitimately.

In the face of such an arbitrament, some people suggest that China could take several actions to protect native resources. Despite of WTO's ruling, China is still entitled to increase resource tax or environment tax to restrict resource export. Besides, China could raise electricity price and through other methods to drive up the production cost rather than levying tax, which is also in favor of restricting resource export.

Editor's Note

phosphorusWelcome to CCM International's new issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report in Feb. 2012.

Although China witnesses a 9.2% year-on-year GDP growth in 2011, some signs also indicate the slowdown in the economic growth. In addition, Spokesman of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has pointed out that China's overall industrial growth would slow down in the first quarter of 2012, but it will run steadily in the whole 2012. Generally speaking, it may prove to be a good time for phosphorus industry to enhance the industrial concentration and further adjust the industrial structure with the implementation of many relevant policies in 2011.
