EU environmental directives affect China more than 300 million U.S. dollars expo
1-5 month favorable balance of mechanical and electrical products machinery and electronic products last year, more than 21.52 billion U.S. dollars of trade surplus reached 25.89 billion U.S. dollars, favorable balance of trade was increasing month by month trend. First five months of mechanical and electrical products account for foreign trade surplus surplus was 86.3%. According to statistics, the two EU environmental directives will bring China more than 300 billion U.S. dollars export of electromechanical products affected. In the recent period, "China" ill-fated in the international market. China-EU textile trade disputes have just calmed down, a "Green Storm" swept the Chinese mechanical and electrical industry, in turn, will force the EU environmental directives may give the green machinery and electronic products in China once again suffer from the "clustered thorns," the international market.
After July 1 next year, the EU market of electrical and electronic products shall not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other harmful substances 6. EU environmental directives, also known as "Double Green" instructions, refer to "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive" (WEEE) and "electrical and electronic equipment on the Prohibition of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive" (ROHS). According to Commerce Department statistics, the two directives will cause our country more than 300 million U.S. dollars export of electromechanical products affected.
It is learned that Jiangsu province as an export of electromechanical products in 2004, exports of machinery and electronic products were worth 58.04 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for 66.3% of the province's total export value, of which 15.79 billion U.S. dollars on exports to the EU, accounting for mechanical and electrical products export value of Jiangsu 27.2% . Preliminary estimates, the two directives on the direct impact of Jiangsu's foreign trade almost 10 billion U.S. dollars, thus on the impact of component manufacturers can not be calculated. However, a number of export enterprises in Jiangsu correlation detection capability, particularly SMEs, have some limitations, the use of the components can not guarantee compliance with EU requirements. In addition, detection is difficult, testing methods and criteria to be further unified. It is learned that Jiangsu Machinery and Electronic Products Testing Center of the European Union directive for the establishment of a special laboratory testing for our mechanical and electrical products exports to the EU has provided technical support.
Shandong Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau Chief of the Electrical and Mechanical Textile Du Hongtao, said the two EU directives practical means of electrical and electronic recycling costs will be based on "the responsibility of extension principle", be transferred to the electronics manufacturers. Instruction related to the large household appliances, small household appliances, IT and telecommunications equipment, consumer products and other ten categories, nearly 200 thousand kinds of products covering almost all of our electronic information products, domestic appliances business costs will therefore increase by about 10% Export prices rose about 15%.
According to a statistics, only in 1998, the EU's electrical and electronic waste recycling reached 600 million tons. Between 2001 and 2002, only one country, Germany, for the treatment of expenditure on e-waste, nearly 500 million euros. To this end, the EU adopted two new environmental directive: "Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" (WEEE) and the "electrical and electronic equipment on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances Directive" (ROHS). The main contents of the two orders is around the "e-waste" in the recovery and recycling, to prevent some harmful substances harmful to human health issues such as to make detailed regulations and strictly limited. Which, ROHS Directive main content is July 1, 2006 after the EU market of electrical and electronic products shall not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other six kinds of hazardous substances. And restrict the use of those hazardous substances electrical and electronic equipment is also very wide range of products, including 10 categories of electrical and electronic equipment, home electric products, and light bulbs, once Jiance out with these substances, and products will be returned. As the directive is indeed beyond the technical level of existing domestic firms, both the EU directive known as "the EU has created a technology barrier."
But environmental experts say that China's garbage landfill approach commonly used, but the heavy metals contained in electronic products will sink, some years later, the sinking of the heavy metals can contaminate groundwater, and groundwater pollution is difficult to cure. Both the EU directive on recycling electronic and electrical product requirements and the provisions prohibiting the use of hazardous substances, environmental protection, sustainable development, future generations are significant, Chinese enterprises should catch up with this trend.
