China's export of electromechanical products trade experience, "surrounded by ambush"

According to WTO statistics, the financial crisis, the global introduction of new protectionist measures far more than trade liberalization policy. Which protected the most serious of products including dairy products, steel, automobiles, chemicals, plastics and textiles. Edition special attention to two areas: China Import and Export of competitive products??? Mechanical and electrical products and foreign trade protectionism by one of the products to combat serious??? Chemical products.

As a major part of our export products, machinery and electronic products face trade barriers should be of concern. Mechanical and electrical products to China in 2009 the foreign trade remedy cases initiated in the textile industry in all sectors tied for third, second to metallurgical and chemical industries. China mechanical and electrical products of foreign anti-dumping Pin And special safeguard measures based, in 2009, foreign machinery and electronic products to China initiated 14 anti-dumping, the special safeguard measures in a play, there is no countervailing measures. Developing countries are machinery and electronic products in China trade remedy investigations initiated frequent. Among them, Argentina 5 China's electromechanical products launched anti-dumping, accounting for mechanical and electrical products to China total anti-dumping 1 / 3, the most prominent.

States to the increasingly strict requirements on power consumption
EU EuP Directive intensive introduction, implementation of the EuP Directive highlights the urgency and mandatory. The European Commission released the 2008 and 2009 and submitted to be discussed by EU EuP implementing measures in the work plan, the list will be considered as a priority the implementation of measures approved a total of 25 intensive implementation of measures will be introduced. From August 2005 EuP Directive entered into force, to August 2008 only to the WTO Secretariat, the European Commission informed the first draft implementing measures EuP Directive and the EU in less than six months, the focus on the WTO Secretariat informed 5 EUP Directive implementing the draft measure, which was then quickly released to the European Commission of their regulations, directly applicable in all Member States.

Reduce the standby power consumption as the world's electrical and electronic equipment, an important part of energy legislation. Survey, standby power accounts for economic Cooperation And Development (OECD) members of the household electricity consumption of 3% to 13%.

International Energy Agency (IEA) member countries to its electrical products manufacturer and distributor has launched "1W plan" Energy Initiative, aims by 2010 to make electrical products 1W standby power consumption to less, "1W Plan" Europe and the United States and other developed countries has been a positive response; the United States, "Energy Star" program will also include standby power consumption range of products to its accreditation standards, California's "electrical efficiency of law" has to become a legal requirement; Australia The standby power consumption is the second phase of the national strategy for all products meet the 2012 shutdown standby 0.5W 1W and mandatory targets, the product, including information technology equipment, audio and video products, large Home Appliances And the four major categories of small household appliances; South Korea in April 1999 proposed "e-Standby" program, the third step plan starting from 2010, forced manufacturers to achieve 1W standby power consumption below the mandatory regulations to voluntary standards.

The U.S. introduction of five new energy efficiency standards, and subsidies on energy-efficient products. September 9, 2009, the U.S. Energy Department has issued a five new energy efficiency standards, related to incandescent lamps, air conditioning, commercial boilers, vending machines and many other products. The standard is expected to come into effect in 2012. Launched in October 2009 for the air-conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine and other energy-saving home appliances subsidies, officially for energy-saving refrigerators and other white goods products, subsidies for the implementation of the largest range of about 200 U.S. dollars (about 1365 yuan) to buy subsidies. In addition to the refrigerator, the washing machines, air conditioners, tableware washing machines meet energy efficiency standards for dry life of home appliances, including the purchase of imported goods eligible for a subsidy amount ranging from 50 to 200 U.S. dollars, total budget of about 300 million U.S. dollars.

S survey, a variety of electrical and electronic products in China, the average standby power consumption as high as between 15 ~ 30W, and the EUP large gap between the implementation of regulatory requirements. It is estimated that every product to reach the first stage 1 ~ 2W standby power consumption, companies need to increase the cost of about 5 yuan; reached the second stage of the 0.5 ~ 1W power consumption, need to increase the cost about 10 yuan; to China's exports Commission Regulation No. 1275/2008 No. 4 products involved in calculation of 500 million units, the first phase of a need to increase the cost of 2.5 billion, while the second phase of increase of 50 billion cost, the number is considerable. Especially for small household electrical appliances, the cost price, but also 100 to 200 yuan, to achieve the objectives of the legislation to increase the cost of razor-thin margins for the business impact of large.
