In the various access conditions introduced at this time, some public opinions are currently concerned about the “pass line†of the “scale steel company's annual output of one million tons and the special steel company's annual production of 500,000 tons†and believe there will be one. A large number of small steel companies face the test of life and death. In this regard, relevant personages of the China Iron and Steel Association told reporters that companies that may actually be eliminated have less than 20% of their total capacity. The "entry access system" to be established this time is more concerned with the "enterprise fundamentals" of product quality, environmental protection, etc. On this basis, a fair competition system for the industry is established. Existing companies can meet these basic thresholds simply by Recognized by the country, developed in an orderly manner. Therefore, this “admission system†is not seen as a “restriction methodâ€, but rather as a prerequisite for the healthy development of the existing domestic steel industry.
"The main purpose is not to limit who
Since the launch of this is an "access method", many industry people and market analysts first reaction is "who will be eliminated."
According to the publicized solicitation draft, in Article 5 of the “Existing Conditions for Production and Management of Existing Iron and Steel Enterprisesâ€, there is such a statement: The scale of production is “2008 annual crude steel production of 1 million tons and above of special steel enterprises, special steel enterprises 500,000 tons and above." In other words, companies that do not meet this "qualified line" will be out. As a result, news has continued to spread that iron and steel companies with more than 80% or about two-thirds of the country will face the test of life and death.
The reporter interviewed Chi Jingdong, deputy secretary-general of the China Iron and Steel Association. He told reporters that the society’s focus on this “access method†is “somewhat biasedâ€. The fundamental starting point of this management approach is "First not to restrict who." At present, there are more than 520 iron and steel enterprises with steelmaking capabilities in the country. In addition, iron and steel enterprises involved in extended areas such as deep processing are difficult to count. If they are included, there may be thousands or even tens of thousands. The "small number of small steel plants with an annual output of less than one million tons sounds scary", with three to four hundred, but its production capacity is less than 20% of the national steel production capacity, and it will not have a fundamental impact on the entire steel industry. “These small steel mills are disorderly and disorderly. They should not have been born. They say that they should test death and death.†They should not be protected by government policies.
Chi Jingdong said that judging from the announced scale, technological equipment, and other conditions, it applies to about 90% of domestic steel production capacity, and it is only a basic threshold, so this “access system†is not “for whom , limit who's the problem. A closer look at the draft will understand that the order of access conditions is headed by items such as product quality, environmental protection, energy consumption, and comprehensive utilization of resources. This reflects the key points. These are the primary conditions that meet the requirements. , equipment and scale will also be "free in it." The implementation of the "access system" is essentially a process of "re-accrediting" existing enterprises under certain access conditions. Enterprises are officially recognized by the country and their external business environment will be greatly improved. Therefore, this "admission system" is a "great good" for the mainstay of the domestic steel industry and is an opportunity to promote development.
"Neutral" Indicators Guide the Establishment of a Fair Competition Environment
Jia Liangqun, chief analyst of "My Steel" Information Institute, told reporters that this "is really a good policy." He thinks the biggest bright spot is that for the first time, the “neutral†indicators such as quality, environmental protection, and energy consumption are placed in the most prominent position. It can be said that there is a basic direction for the equal competition environment for different ownership enterprises in the steel industry. .
According to the publicized solicitation draft, the existing iron and steel enterprises must have a complete quality management system and have obtained ISO9000 series standards in product quality. The product quality must meet the requirements of the national and industry standards, and there is no major product quality accident within two years. The enterprise produces products that belong to the national production licensing system and must obtain industrial production licenses according to law. In terms of environmental protection, enterprises must be equipped with complete pollutant emission monitoring and treatment facilities and have a sound environmental protection management system. No major environmental pollution accidents occurred within two years; the emission of wastewater per ton of steel enterprises does not exceed 2 cubic meters, and tons of steel smoke The dust emission shall not exceed 1 kg, and the emission of sulfur dioxide per ton steel shall not exceed 1.8 kg; the total discharge of pollutants from the enterprise shall meet the control targets approved by the environmental protection department. In terms of energy consumption and comprehensive utilization of resources, enterprises must be equipped with the necessary energy measurement instruments and have a sound energy management system. The qualified enterprises must establish energy management centers; the main production process energy consumption indicators of the company must comply with the energy consumption of coke per unit of product. Limits and provisions of "the energy consumption limit of the major process units of crude steel production"; tons of new water consumption of blast furnace process enterprises does not exceed 6 tons, electric furnace process enterprises do not exceed 3 tons; the utilization of metallurgical slag is not less than 95%.
According to relevant sources, since the new century, the steel industry in China has surpassed speeding development and the investment in the steel industry has soared. There are many problems in investment management. According to statistics, of the more than 600 million tons of steel capacity currently produced, less than 300 million tons have been formally approved by the state. The rest are strictly called "black households". Of course, these production capacities are not all backward production capacity. A considerable part of product quality and equipment processes are still good. This kind of production capacity is an objective reality. It needs a unified "certification" process, which enables the qualified production capacity to formally establish a "hukou" and develop in a normative and orderly manner.
According to industry analysts, the trial implementation of the "admission system" for the steel industry can be said to be an exploration of establishing a fair competition system for industries, and creating conditions for escaping from such disputes as "advancement of the country by the people" and "reduction by the state". In the future, as long as it meets public interests such as quality, environmental protection, energy conservation, and social responsibility, companies of different natures can stand on the same starting line. In the past, state-owned steel companies complained that private steel companies did not bear due social costs and the market competition was unfair. Private steel enterprises complained that state-owned enterprises “possessed†in project approval and financing. This time, after the access authorization, some private projects that have not been formally approved before can be no longer tied to the production and operation, and will have necessary conditions in terms of financing and even the listing of companies.
Chi Jingdong said that in the future, iron and steel enterprises will enter the market mainly to see whether it meets the necessary standards in terms of quality and environmental protection in terms of social and public interests. As long as the scale and equipment level can meet certain conditions, some enterprises can make products. Very sophisticated, the equipment process is also very advanced, even if the smaller scale has its market space. Moreover, the overall quality of the company has been improved, and the scale of the company will naturally be guaranteed.
The "low-carbon" route of the steel industry can be phased out
Jia Liangqun and others in the industry vividly stated that the implementation of the “admission system†for the steel industry can be said to be a death penalty for steel mills with a capacity of 1 million tons or less; there is a gap of more than one million tons, and environmental protection and energy conservation. The enterprises have been sentenced to "death" and "imprisonment", as long as effective rectification, meet the conditions, there are new ways. However, the "admission system" should really play a role in regulating the industrial order, it still focuses on implementation.
Many people are concerned that the "admission system" will encounter obstacles in its implementation, because this is an adjustment of the interest pattern after all. There will always be people who are not happy. Although the small steel plants below one million tons account for less than 20% of the production capacity, the number of enterprises is still relatively large. When dealing with the problem of elimination, the problems associated with asset disposal and personnel placement are objective issues. Yes, we need to be careful and sure to face it. There are also many companies that need to “jump and jump†to achieve compliance, and there are also problems with the investment in environmental protection and energy-saving facilities. The implementation of the “entry access system†cannot be separated from the enthusiasm of local governments, especially in areas where small steel mills are more concentrated, local governments must first of all take a conscious mind to seriously deal with the relationship between orderly industrial restructuring, fiscal revenue, and employment. Coordinate problems, take the initiative to think of ways to resolve contradictions, and ensure a smooth transition.
Jia Liangqun said: The iron and steel industry has implemented the "entry system", seeking truth from facts, negotiating with the industry, not "sticking to death", and resolutely stating that the dynamic management after the auditing and auditing has been clearly defined. Even though some difficulties may be encountered in the implementation, the overall direction of development of the steel industry is very clear: the “low-carbon†route for environmental protection and energy conservation is already being planned.
According to the analysis of industry insiders, in the process of gradually entering the “low-carbon†society in the world, how to choose a “green development†road for the energy-intensive and emission-intensive steel industry is increasingly becoming the key to its rise and fall. Baosteel, the domestic leading steel company, has been pondering over the new concept of resources and environmental management, and has penetrated the comprehensive factors of environmental protection, high efficiency, and high quality in the entire process of energy conservation, emission reduction, product development, and production and sales. This "admission system" will give China's steel industry a bottom line for energy conservation, environmental protection and product quality, and it also has equipment guarantees.
Resources will also be deployed in an orderly manner. The current method stipulates that, for enterprises that do not meet the access requirements, the relevant departments shall not approve the construction and renovation projects, do not issue emission permits, do not allocate new mine resources and land, do not issue production licenses, and do not provide Credit support will not issue iron ore import qualifications, and iron ore importing companies will not supply imported iron ore.
Great market view: All parties in the industry strongly discuss the "admission system" of the steel industry
The innovation and reform of China's steel industry industry management has finally entered a substantive stage of operation. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People's Republic of China has published to the public the draft of the “Existing Conditions and Management Measures for the Production and Management of Existing Steel Enterprises†for solicitation of opinions. Although it was not carried out in advance, this information, once disclosed, has caused widespread concern in the industry. Many people commented that the implementation of the “admission system†in the steel industry is a major breakthrough in establishing a fair competition system for the industry.
