The 12th Five-Year Plan for Nonferrous Metals is misrepresented

On July 26, the media reported that Shang Fushan, vice president of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, announced a draft of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for the non-ferrous metals industry in a forum on the 23rd.

On the afternoon of the same day, Shang Fushan told this reporter that he mentioned only the research on the development of the “12th Five-Year” non-ferrous metal industry that had been completed by the end of 2009. "As for the final 12-five plan for the non-ferrous metals industry, I don't know yet."

However, the huge repercussions triggered by this "missing" have reflected the reality that there are still many problems in the non-ferrous metals industry in China, such as overcapacity, low concentration, weak resource support, and technological level. To be improved, and environmental pressures are increasing, and so on.

Originating from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology
Shang Fushan revealed that in 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology had held a meeting to require multiple industries to study their respective “Twelfth Five-Year” development ideas. The non-ferrous metal industry is one of them.

Shang Fushan said that the reason why the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology started various industries is based on the judgment that "China has reached a key stage of transforming the economic development model and realizing industrial optimization and upgrading." “At the end of 2009, we have completed the research on the development of the '12th Five-Year Plan' and submitted it to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.”

The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association completed the research on the development of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” and put forward ten tasks for non-ferrous metals, namely “effectively controlling the total amount”, “trying to improve the level of resource security”, and “technical equipment reaching the world advanced”. "Level", "Optimize and adjust industrial layout", "Form a batch of high-end product production capacity", "Develop emerging industries", "Accelerate enterprise restructuring, improve corporate international competitiveness", "Promote scientific and technological innovation, and enhance core competitiveness", “Strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction” and “Development of circular economy”.

"This is also an important measure to achieve sustainable development in China." Zhao Wuzhuang of the Institute of Nonferrous Metals Technology and Economy told this reporter. Zhao participated in the research and development of the “12th Five-Year” non-ferrous metal industry.

In early 2009, the state has released industrial revitalization plans for a number of industries, including non-ferrous metals.

As for the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for the non-ferrous metals industry, “I don’t know if there is any. In the past, the country has never released a five-year plan for the non-ferrous metals industry,” said Shang Fushan.

Total control
The implementation of “capacity control” for the non-ferrous metals industry has triggered the most attention in the market. The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association proposed that by 2015, the output of ten non-ferrous metals will be controlled within 41 million tons, and all backward production capacity will be eliminated in accordance with industrial technology policies.

"We believe that we should control the growth of non-ferrous metal production." Shang Fushan explained that over the years, China's non-ferrous metal production has shown a high-speed situation, and the production of many non-ferrous metal varieties has ranked first in the world. "According to this speed, China's resources , energy, environment, etc. will not be able to withstand." According to the statistics of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, China's production of major non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, lead and zinc has leapt to the top in the world.

"Quantity is enough." Shang Fushan believes that China does not have to deliberately pursue the production of non-ferrous metals. "Even if there is a market in China, it is not necessary to produce all of it itself, and it can be imported from outside." According to the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, in 2015, the consumption of ten non-ferrous metals in China will reach 43.8 million tons.

Shang Fushan stressed that too much emphasis on production growth will lead to a series of problems, such as "in terms of resources, a large number of imported ore, and ultimately by the upstream minerals, the iron and steel mines."

Mergers and acquisitions
Big but not strong has always been the problem of the development of the domestic non-ferrous metals industry.

The research on the development of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” not only refers to the total amount of control, but also puts forward specific requirements for concentration: by 2015, the top ten enterprises in copper, aluminum, lead and zinc accounted for 90% of the total output of the country. %, 90%, 70% and 70%.

Previously, the 2009 Non-Ferrous Metal Industry Adjustment and Revitalization Plan has also mentioned that it is necessary to promote the merger and reorganization of the national non-ferrous metals industry, and put forward specific 3-5 large enterprise targets. But so far, the restructuring of the non-ferrous metals industry is still slow.

Shang Fushan said that “focusing on internal potential and improving product quality” is focused on improving existing enterprises and improving core competitiveness. In this regard, the research on the development of non-ferrous metals in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" also proposes that efforts should be made to improve the level of resource security, as well as to upgrade the technical equipment to the world's advanced level, promote technological innovation, and form a batch of high-end product production capacity.

New environmental issues
However, this research report, which was completed at the end of 2009, clearly stated that it is necessary to “strengthen energy conservation and emission reduction” and “develop vigorously develop circular economy”, but it is not much about the environmental protection problems faced by the non-ferrous metals industry.

Recently, mining environmental protection issues have caused widespread concern in the society. After the outbreak of the Zijin Mining pollution incident in early July, the environmental issues of non-ferrous metals companies have become the target of public criticism.

"The study on the development of the 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan' does not particularly emphasize environmental protection." Shang Fushan said that although the research is related to environmental protection, the environmental protection work is mainly responsible for the environmental protection department. "The existing policies have been relatively perfect."

A researcher of the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” for the development of non-ferrous metals, which did not want to be named, said that the environmental protection problem in mining industry is not due to the lack of environmental protection policies, but mainly because “there is no law, and law enforcement is not strict”. If the company's environmental protection measures can comply with relevant regulations, then there will be no environmental problems."

"But the implementation of the environmental policy, we certainly can't deal with it." The source said.
