行业警示:遵守贸易规则 防范违约风险

出处:中国棉花协会    2019年09月10日

    今年5月以来,受全球经济形势以及中美贸易摩擦等因素影响,国内外棉价大幅下跌,中国棉花价格指数CCIndex(3128B)最低达到12983元/吨,比5月初下跌17%,国际棉价跌幅高于国内。最近,中国棉花协会相继接到一些国际棉业组织来电来函,反映国际棉花贸易纠纷增加,包括装运的延迟、合同条款修改以及不断上升的仲裁申请等。
    中国棉花协会是国际棉花协会合作委员会(CICCA)的成员国,同其他国际棉业组织一道,以维护国际棉花贸易秩序为己任。协会认为,无论经济形势好与坏、价格涨与跌,企业均应遵守契约精神,维护合同的严肃性。
    协会提醒会员企业及业内同仁:
一是要促进合同履行。规则和信用是贸易关系发展的前提,在遇到纠纷时,应保持与国外棉商的沟通、协商,立足于维护长期稳定的合作关系,切不可采取“一锤子买卖”,不为企业发展留余地。二是要防范违约风险。根据《中国棉花协会行业警示制度试行办法》规定,对在棉花贸易中存在不良行为且经核实确认的企业,协会可将其列入行业警示目录(即“黑名单”),通报国际棉业组织,号召全行业进行抵制;目前,中国政府也正在加快推进棉花行业社会信用体系建设,让守信者受益,失信者受限。三是及时向协会反映情况。协会是代表产业链各方利益的行业组织,有自律、维权的职责,通过与各主产棉国棉业组织的工作机制,帮助企业协调解决问题,维护企业合法权益。

                       Industry Warning: Follow Trade Rules to Protect Against Default Risk

 

Since May this year, affected by the global economy situation and China-US trade friction, cotton prices at home and abroad have fallen sharply. The China cotton price index (CCIndex 3128B) reached a minimum of 12,983 yuan per ton, down by 17% from the beginning of May. The drop in international cotton price is further than that in China. Recently, the China Cotton Association (CCA) has received a number of calls and letters from international cotton industry associations, reporting an increase in international cotton trade disputes, including shipment delays, modification of contract terms and rising arbitration applications.

 

China Cotton Association is a member of the Committee for International Co-operation between Cotton Associations (CICCA). Together with other international cotton organizations, China Cotton Association is committed to maintaining the international cotton trade order. CCA believes that no matter the economic situation is good or bad, prices rise or fall, and enterprises should uphold the standards of good trading practices and the ethic of the sanctity of contracts.

 

CCA reminds its member enterprises and industry colleagues: first, contract fulfillment is essential. Rules and credit are the premise of the development of trade relations, in the case of disputes, it is essential to communicate and negotiate with foreign cotton merchants, in order to maintain the long time and steady relationship. The one-shot deal strategy will damage any future development of the enterprise. Second, default risk shall be prevented. According to China Cotton Association Industry Warning System Trial Method, should any enterprises violate the standards of good trading practices and be verified, CCA would put its name into its Industry Warning Catalogue (i.e. blacklist), notify the international cotton associations, and call on the whole industry to boycott. At present, the Chinese government is also accelerating the construction of social credit system in the cotton industry, so that those who keep their word will benefit while those who break their word will be limited. Third, please report to CCA if you have any information relevant. CCA represents the interests of different parties in the cotton value chain. It has the responsibility of self-discipline and safeguarding rights. It shall help enterprises to coordinate and solve problems to protect their legitimate rights through its working mechanism with the main cotton production country organizations.
