European heavy chemical industry accelerates the relocation of China
The EU "White Strategy for Future Chemicals Policy" will be implemented someday. 'European chemical industry has indeed shrunk, and the relocation of factories to Asia has been irreversible. Yesterday, Werner J. Wittin, chairman of Greater China of Clariant (China) Co., Ltd., told reporters, 'Now we are most optimistic about Asia and Latin America. The company will soon establish a joint venture with a Chinese company. At the same time, other large chemical companies in Europe have moved to Asia, led by China. The “White Paper on Future Chemical Policy Strategies†to be implemented in the European Union is one of the key factors that have caused many European chemical companies to be scattered in China, such as birds and animals. The “White Paper on Future Chemicals Strategy†was drafted by the Directorate-General for Enterprise of the European Commission and the Directorate-General for the Environment. In 2003, it began to fully consult. The core content is that a unified chemical monitoring system (REACH) will be established in Europe. Once it is fulfilled, the chemicals of all chemical production companies and importing companies in EU member states must undergo more rigorous testing, registration and evaluation. And authorization. The bill was originally scheduled to be implemented in 2004 and had to be postponed due to strong doubts from local European companies. Among them, the basic unit test for each chemical substance costs 85,000 Euros, and every ton of product must be registered and evaluated. It is reported that major chemical groups in Europe have recently established a strong anti-white paper alliance to conduct special communications and negotiations with the EU on this issue. At present, there is no final decision. European chemical companies move east to Asia Currently all types of European chemical company production lines are curtailed or closed in the country, of which Clariant has begun to reduce its production lines in Sweden, and BASF is also determined to lay people in Germany and other places. 'Now 50% of our customers are moving to Asia. We're not sure about it anymore. It's a bit late. 'European heavy chemical industry companies all agree that relocation is a top priority, with Vietnam and China being the major countries in the relocation. Clariant, which mainly produces dyes and chemicals, has recently set up factories in Shanghai and Guangzhou. The company plans to invest a further US$100 million in manufacturing in China. BASF also recently invested in the construction of a 700,000-ton ethylene production facility in Nanjing with an investment of 2.9 billion euros. At present, the number of branches, factories or offices of foreign chemical companies registered in Beijing has reached 723, compared with 428 in Shanghai. Among them, Bayer has established 11 production enterprises in China. In 2003, the company's largest investment project settled in Shanghai. In 2003, China's chemical market totaled 970.2 billion yuan, close to 10% of the total domestic GDP, and was promoted to be the largest domestic industry. In 2004, both figures will continue to increase. The choice of environment and development 'Europe and other foreign chemical companies have moved to China. The biggest difference from other foreign companies investing in China is pollution. 'Yue Xingmin, professor of Fudan University's Center for Economic Research, said: 'The EU's standard will be extended to the world next. Although the time will be longer, but no matter which area your plant is built in, the environmental protection and safety required for the product The standards are the same. China also has its own environmental protection standards. Maybe this standard has some distance from European standards. You can't demand it, but at least it will ensure the safety of the factory. 'Professor Yin also said that there will be pollution, especially like this heavy chemical production, the country is to employment rate and investment, or to environmental protection is the need to choose. To be environmentally friendly, you will certainly sacrifice your employment rate. To invest, it is necessary to open land and get factories. If this generation is developed, the days of future generations will be better. Moreover, chemical companies have introduced low-tech products, and the main technology is still in Europe. Dr. Zhou Wei, general manager of Clariant Chemicals China, also said, 'Europe still has high demand for chemical products, and these products will be transferred to China, and they will not be satisfied with China. Therefore, the main R&D forces will not be placed in China for the time being. '
