In accordance with the relevant EU regulations, by 2012, China's tire exports to the EU must Yaoda on "energy saving tires" tab, or will be imposed "carbon tariff."

Investment Advisor in the chemical industry researchers often Yi Zhi that impose carbon tariffs will increase the cost of our export products, export products weaken our competitive advantage. In the future, carbon tariff will become new trade barriers in China's tire exports.

According to the Investment Advisor "issued by the tire industry in China 2010-2015 Forecast of Investment Analysis and Report" show, the carbon tariff is proposed by developed countries on energy-intensive products, particularly imports tariffs levied on carbon dioxide emissions, the life cycle from production to the whole process of calculating carbon emissions. If my tires are subjected to carbon tariffs, tax rates will be as high as 80% of China's tire exports to very unfavorable.

Yi-Chi Chang also pointed out the EU's increasingly stringent environmental regulations, and for our country by adding silica-based materials green tire is still relatively small, with the EU REACH legislation and the implementation of energy-saving product identification, China's tire exports will The EU will be subjected to a series of regulations and the impact of technical barriers.

Thus, Yi-Chi Chang believes that China's tire industry needs to accelerate structural adjustment, increase the energy saving techniques and the development efforts to break through barriers to international trade, green, and promote the healthy development of China's tire industry.
