subject: 200,000 Kinds Of Products Instruction Involves A Test Of Chinese Home Appliance Industry - [print this page] Official Gazette under the EU, EU-25 will be held on August 13 this year, the official implementation of the "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" directive on the EU market in the future flow of electrical manufacturers, including importers and
Dealers Must be undertaken to meet the end of life product recovery costs. July 1, 2006 will be formally implemented "in the electrical and electronic equipment on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive." Directive stipulates that EU will ban products containing certain hazardous substances in the sale and use. These two acts were in the industry as "the world's most stringent environmental protection orders."
These two directives related to nearly 200,000 kinds of products covering almost the country's main exports of electromechanical products, directly related to the preliminary estimate amounting to 12.2 billion U.S. dollars. To this end, in April this year, China CCCME had various twists and turns in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places, on over 6800 members to deal with EU environmental emergency mobilization and training of the new bill.
Chinese enterprises are facing life and death
College Entrance Examination Electronic products in China always seem caught in a variety of technical barriers between Europe and the United States struggle to survive. Especially in the field of environmental protection, and each time the implementation of new environmental bill, the Chinese enterprises are a "lock hose so." Following the European Union
TVs , Fluorescent lights, lighters and other products is high and technical barriers, the EU has two new environmental bills has become in our business spans more difficult to cross in front of a new "threshold."
Industry experts believe that if Chinese companies can not meet the EU's new environmental requirements, then the product backlog, exports plummeted, heavy taxes on such issues as sanctions will follow, or even eventually be driven out of the EU market. But at the same time meet environmental requirements, if not better control costs, the cost will significantly increase its exports, the manufacturing cost advantage of Chinese enterprises will cease to exist. Therefore, this issue relates to the whole of China Electrical and electronic products, the overall death.
According CCCME Yao Wenping, vice president, currently China's home appliance export market, the EU accounts for about 1 / 4. The EU after the implementation of two directives, China directly affected the number of electrical products exports will reach 10 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for China's exports to the EU 71% of the total value of machinery and electronic products, in 6800 95% of Chamber members will receive this the direct impact of the two directives. While on the surface, come into force from the two bills some time, but because these two bills are involved, the entire electronics manufacturing and export production, sales and other links, but had nothing to learn from our precedent Therefore, the 6800 enterprises will face a severe test.
The biggest crisis of SMEs Is gratifying that the Chinese large enterprises already have a certain ability to resist risks and adaptability. And multinational corporations and Chinese enterprises will face the same problem. Unlike intellectual property disputes and environmental issues
Royalty Contradiction. Many multinational companies Parts And production base in China, "From this point of view that they and the Chinese enterprises in the same trench, the joint venture and deal with the difficulties of large enterprises smaller." Yao Wenping think.
With joint ventures and large enterprises than small and medium
Private enterprise Were facing more difficulties in the industrial chain at the end of their deeply felt the EU's new environmental bill to bring the first wave of mass destruction.
Commerce Department official said: "a short time, the two greatest victims of environmental protection bill will be small and medium private enterprises, they account for 30% of the whole industrial chain around."
Many small and medium private enterprises
Lord said, because of large enterprises to EU foreign bills of integrated supply chain upstream, recent sharp decline in their order, also faces great pressure to return.
Shenzhen electronics companies had a calculations: "The EU Directive in all countries according to different levels of development, fees vary, and our products in different countries, cost recovery in five euros to 20 euros, Our profit would have only a few euros, you really want all of us is responsible for recycling, we actually a drain is not enough. "
As various enterprises in solving environmental problems during the transfer of risk sharing at the same time lower the cost up, which will inevitably lead to changes throughout the industry chain. Large enterprises and joint ventures as the two instructions meet the EU has some of those who launched the initiative, while the market position of small and medium private enterprises is determined that they are bound in a passive position.
Tripartite efforts to defuse the risk of
"The past, Chinese enterprises have also encountered the same problem, when the bicycle against China, Japan introduced an environmental law, and many bike companies that make life difficult for the Road, threshold, because we run bicycle industry accounts for a small plant nearly 80% of them, but through trade intermediaries, chambers of commerce organizations, related aspects of their overall response, and finally we achieved satisfactory result. "Yao Wenping said.
Industry experts think that to solve the EU, for this new environmental problems, to resolve industry risk, we must work together from three aspects.
First, the government must support. It is understood that two years ago, the Commerce Department noted that the EU intends to launch two new environmental directive immediately following the translation of information experts, and timely informed of progress to domestic enterprises. Including the Ministry of Commerce, Science and Technology, Ministry of Information Industry Nine ministries and commissions including the State Act for the new situation of the European Union earlier this year this has set up a coordinating body to organize experts to study the measures, while establishing a special fund to support SMEs to weather the storm.
Secondly, chambers of commerce and intermediary organizations have to be increased communication and market information services, Electrical Chamber of Commerce will continue to organize seminars at various levels, to inform the electromechanical enterprises to help enterprises cope with. China Quality Certification Center has an emergency set up a "China ROHS voluntary certification bodies", to provide services for the entire industry.
Third, the most important enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises and industry to enhance communication, develop contingency measures as soon as possible to speed up corporate restructuring to adapt to market changes.
Yao Wenping analysis: "The new barriers in the short term environmental technology companies have some influence, but in the long run, will enable enterprises to increase efforts to study new technology, research and development alternatives, standard enterprise management, enterprise will therefore be new trade opportunities.
