2月8日，中國(guó)欽州—馬來(lái)西亞關(guān)丹集裝箱國(guó)際班輪航線如期開(kāi)航，航線的開(kāi)通為中國(guó)—馬來(lái)西亞“兩國(guó)雙園”項(xiàng)目搭建了海上直通橋梁。

咖啡專(zhuān)家：東盟國(guó)家中緬甸咖啡質(zhì)量最好

近日，緬甸咖啡種植協(xié)會(huì)表示，據(jù)包括美國(guó)Win rock International在內(nèi)的200名咖啡專(zhuān)家的評(píng)分結(jié)果顯示，緬甸咖啡獲得85分，成為在東盟國(guó)家中咖啡質(zhì)量最好的國(guó)家。目前，全緬咖啡種植面積約達(dá)63000英畝。

東盟國(guó)家海關(guān)頻繁退證須關(guān)注

近日，中國(guó)浙江溫州一家企業(yè)申請(qǐng)的東盟產(chǎn)地證被泰國(guó)海關(guān)退回，造成價(jià)值1.77萬(wàn)美元的貨物滯留港口，無(wú)法清關(guān)。退證原因是該批貨物貿(mào)易涉及第三方，但證書(shū)未按要求填寫(xiě)第三方發(fā)票號(hào)碼，也沒(méi)有注明第三方公司名稱(chēng)。

據(jù)悉，2014年，浙江溫州檢驗(yàn)檢疫局收到退回的產(chǎn)地證共計(jì)47份，其中涉及東盟國(guó)家的有46份。東盟退證頻發(fā)的主要原因是印度尼西亞、越南和泰國(guó)等國(guó)海關(guān)加大了對(duì)原產(chǎn)地證書(shū)的核查，核查重點(diǎn)貨物的原產(chǎn)地規(guī)則、品名描述和第三方發(fā)票等。因此，出口企業(yè)須加強(qiáng)對(duì)中國(guó)—東盟自貿(mào)區(qū)原產(chǎn)地規(guī)則及政策的了解，嚴(yán)格按照自貿(mào)區(qū)規(guī)則和簽證要求申領(lǐng)證書(shū)，避免不必要的損失。

緬甸仰光至中國(guó)上海開(kāi)通物流服務(wù)

據(jù)《緬甸環(huán)球新光報(bào)》報(bào)道，丹麥穆勒亞洲航運(yùn)公司將開(kāi)通新的仰光—上海物流服務(wù)，希望以此抓住中緬兩國(guó)貿(mào)易快速發(fā)展的機(jī)遇。

據(jù)悉，穆勒亞洲航運(yùn)公司第一批1100英尺集裝箱貨輪已于2015年1月27日離開(kāi)上海，并在2月9日抵達(dá)仰光。穆勒亞洲航運(yùn)公司執(zhí)行總裁表示，新的貨運(yùn)航線的開(kāi)通使上海至仰光的貨運(yùn)航行時(shí)間從18天縮短到13天，而緬甸透明的貿(mào)易政策是吸引其來(lái)緬甸投資的原因。

1 China encourages private capital toinvest in elderly care industry

Feb.26, 2015 (Xinhua) -- China announced it would encourage private investment in the elderly care service industry to help with its aging population. Investors are encouraged to run elderly care facilities, including nursing homes and recreation centers, according to a document issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, together with nine other government departments. It said that private investors could cooperate with the government to build and develop facilities. The government will also increase investment in this sector.

2 Draft foreign investment law aims to clarify status of VIE

Feb.10, 2015 (China Daily) -- On Jan 19, the draft of China's Foreign Investment Law was released for a public comment period that runs until Feb 17. One of the most signifi cant changes in the draft legislation is the adoption of a de facto review of the variable interest entity, or VIE, structure of corporate ownership. This is a workaround structure that is used by foreign and Chinese investors in many industries where foreign direct investment is restricted or prohibited in China. Under a VIE structure, a Chinese entity holding all the necessary licenses to operate a business in a restricted or prohibited industry is de facto controlled by a wholly foreign owned enterprise through contractual arrangements. The profi ts of the domestic entity fl ow back to the controlling WFOE or joint venture. This arrangement enables foreign investors to engage in Chinese industries that they would otherwise be excluded from by law.

3 "Capital account opened" for fi rms in free trade zone

Feb.17, 2015 (China Daily) -- The long-anticipated detailed rules for capital-account transactions, which will allow companies operating in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone to borrow abroad under a simpler regulatory regime, have been released. The new process may help FTZ-registered companies cut their financing costs in half. The rules will allow FTZ-registered enterprises that borrow abroad to choose the length and currency of the loan. FTZ-registered enterprises that seek fi nancing overseas will be monitored by the PBOC during and after the financing process, but they will no longer need to seek prior approval. "The new rules will benefi t enterprises when doing foreign trade and overseas mergers," said Zhang Xin, deputy head of the Shanghai Head Office of the People's Bank of China.

4 China relinguishes controlover new listings

Feb.10, 2015 (China Daily) -- China is expected to take a signifi cant step in its capital market reform after the market regulator decided to relinquish control over new listings and transfer them to the Shanghai and Shenzhen bourses. Sources close to the China Securities Regulatory Commission said that the change is expected to come into effect from June 1. After that, all IPO applications will be vetted by the stock exchanges, while the CSRC's public offering review committee will be disbanded. The move has been widely anticipated by investment bankers, stockbrokers and securities analysts since the CSRC initiated discussions early last year on its intention to abandon the principle of approval in favor of one that emphasizes voluntary disclosure by the management of enterprises that are seeking to raise capital in the stock market through new listings.

5 China sketches out priorities of "Belt and Road" initiatives

Feb.2, 2015 (Xinhua) -- Chinese leaders sketched out priorities for the "Belt and Road" initiatives, highlighting transport infrastructure building, investment and trade facilitation, fi nancial cooperation and cultural exchange. The Silk Road Economic Belt is slated to be established along the ancient Silk Road trade route, while the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road will run through the country's south to Southeast Asia. China will join hands with countries along the Belt and Road to build a community of common interests, common responsibilities and a shared future, featuring political mutual trust, economic integration and cultural inclusiveness.

6 China plans guideline to boost railway and nuclear exports

Feb.7, 2015 (China Daily) -- China plans to draw up a guideline to help its equipment makers, particularly railway and nuclear companies, to expand exports, the country's top economic planning body said. Formulation of the guideline has just begun, and it will include supportive fi nancial policies to promote exports of Chinese-made equipment. The development was announced by Wang Xiaotao, vice-minister of the National Development and Reform Commission, at a news conference. "There is global enthusiasm for infrastructure projects, and railway construction has become an important measure for many countries to promote growth, both in developing and developed nations," Wang said. "This provides a key opportunity for China's railway fi rms to go global."

7 China's subsidies comply with WTO rules

Feb.13, 2015 (China Daily) -- China's measures to offer subsidies to manufacturers in certain industries is in conformity with WTO rules and will help the country ship more quality products to the world market, the Ministry of Commerce said. The comment came after the Office of the United States Trade Representative challenged China at the WTO, claiming that the Chinese government offers subsidies for the exports of seven industries through "demonstration bases" that receive free or discounted services from suppliers. Given current global economic conditions, building model manufacturing bases and public service platforms to off er subsidies to cash-starved domestic companies is a practical way for them to seek and gain new market growth points, as well as improving the technical content and environmental protection standards of their products, the ministry said in a statement.

8 Cheaper scheme launchedfor imported cars

Feb.12, 2015 (Xinhua) -- China launched a parallel import scheme for cars, a move expected to help bring down prices of luxury cars. Chinese consumers normally buy cars from dealers authorized by auto makers. The prices of imported cars are often much higher in China than in other countries. Cars sold under the parallel import scheme will be at least 10 percent cheaper than those in 4S shops, according to auto dealers. A comprehensive maintenance center will be built near the Shanghai FTZ to provide after-sales service for cars sold through the parallel import scheme. The Shanghai Commission of Commerce and the Shanghai FTZ Administrative Committee jointly issued a circular of the parallel import scheme, which listed requirements for companies wishing to join the program.
