For EU anti-dumping cases or cancel ceramic brick export subsidies
"Because of the low export prices of ceramic products, the EU ceramic products are hard to bear. The European Ceramics Association has clearly stated that it will take more stringent measures to sanction the export of Chinese enterprises to the EU." The first ceramic production area in 2010 was held in Foshan. On the Scientific Development Roundtable Forum, the vice president and secretary-general of the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Association revealed the details of the anti-dumping consultations between the China Ceramics Industry Association and the EU Ceramics Industry Association on Chinese ceramics.

Yan Bin said that in the next step, the association will propose to the relevant state departments to cancel the export subsidies for ceramic products, reduce the low-cost export of ceramic products, and implement “thinning†in the ceramics industry to maintain the sustainable development of the ceramic industry.
EU anti-dumping reasons: the unemployment rate in the ceramic industry exceeds 30%
It is understood that the EU's anti-dumping against Chinese ceramics was filed last month, involving almost all well-known brands in Foshan ceramics industry. This is the largest anti-dumping investigation that Foshan Ceramics has encountered. At present, the China Building Sanitary Ceramics Industry Association has held consultations with the EU Ceramics Industry Association. In the forum, Yan Bin revealed the reasons for such a strong anti-dumping in the EU ceramic industry.
According to reports, the production of ceramic tiles in the country in the first five months has reached 2.7 billion square meters, an increase of 23.5% over the same period of last year. The first five months of sanitary ceramics increased by 10% compared with the same period of last year, reaching 54 million square meters. In terms of exports, ceramic tiles in the first five months of exports reached 309 million square meters, an increase of 35.13% over last year; the amount reached 1.3 billion US dollars, an increase of 35%, the export of sanitary ceramics 20 million, an increase of 14.9%, the amount increased 9.3%.
Yan Bin said that the increase in quantity over the amount means that the price has dropped. This has had a big impact on the EU's ceramic products. "We are not only occupying their markets in the EU, but also playing them in the US and Asian markets. Uncomfortable, especially the price, the price we export to the EU is less than 1/3 of that of Italy, and the price of ceramic tiles is not enough for them to buy raw materials."
Yan Bin said that the EU ceramic industry unemployment rate is currently more than 30%, 40% of the production line is discontinued, which makes the EU ceramic industry associations sway the great protection of trade protection, anti-dumping investigations on Chinese ceramic enterprises, "EU Ceramics Association clearly tells us The next step will be to take more stringent measures to sanction Chinese companies' exports to the EU. We will report this issue to the Ministry of Commerce and discuss how to deal with the next step."
Rethinking the direction of the industry: or canceling export subsidies to prevent low-cost exports
Then, how should the Chinese ceramic industry, which has suffered the largest anti-dumping investigation in history, develop next? Yan Bin said that the reason why Chinese ceramics exports are so low is due to lower taxes, lower environmental investment, and lower employee benefits. And various subsidies, "we should reflect on whether this low-price export is conducive to the next step in the ceramic industry."
It is understood that the Indonesian Vice President clearly stated at this year's World Ceramics Forum that Indonesia's ceramic raw materials are banned. Yan Bin said that the ceramic industry is a resource-based and energy-based industry. Considering the long-term interests of the country, the association does not advocate a large number of Chinese ceramic exports, especially low-cost exports. "We will propose ceramics to the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission. Products cancel export subsidies, and take restrictive measures according to the situation. They cannot allow a large amount of valuable resources to be exported at low prices. Export enterprises must make high value-added products and branded products, so that this is sustainable development. â€
Yan Bin said that in the future, an important issue in the building sanitary ceramics industry is energy conservation and emission reduction. "The national plan to reduce the energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20% by the end of this year, most of the country's regions have not been completed, and the construction of sanitary ceramics consumes a year. The energy is about 35 million tons of coal. The energy consumption per unit of GDP in the ceramic industry is about 1.5%, which exceeds the national energy consumption level. Therefore, the ceramic industry will become the key industry auditing energy consumption in the country. This is our future. The problems to be faced during the period."
According to Qi Bin, in order to do a good job in energy conservation and emission reduction, the association will focus on promoting “thinning†of ceramic tiles. “It’s not just the one or two companies in the past’ thinning, but the industry’s 'thinning'.†According to the previous calculations, if the current “thinning†data, the annual energy consumption saved by the whole industry is conservatively estimated to be 4 million tons of coal, and the optimistic estimate is 6 million tons of coal. “We plan to revise next year. 'The standards are enforced throughout the industry, which is conducive to the development of the entire industry.
