Planning pointed out that, since twenty-first Century, China's nonferrous metal industry rapid development, has become the world's largest non-ferrous metal production and consumption country, but the deep-seated contradictions existing in China's nonferrous metal industry is still very prominent, some products overcapacity,industrial layout adjustment, industry low level of intensive, resource guarantee degree is not high, the ability of independent innovation is not strong, regeneration and utilization level is low, the elimination of backward production task.

Aiming at a series of problems existing in current non-ferrous metal industry, planning pointed out that, to take comprehensive measures, stabilize and expand the domestic market; in order to control the total, the elimination of backward production capacity, strengthen the technological transformation, promote corporate restructuring as the focus, to promote the non-ferrous metals industrial restructuring and upgrading; make full use of domestic and foreign two kinds of resources, focus on the regeneration use, vigorously develop the circular economy, improve resource security capacity, promote the sustainable development of nonferrous metal industry.

Plans to put forward the five principles to adjust the revitalization of non-ferrous metals industry, i.e. to deal with crisis and the revitalization of industry combination, adhering to total amount control and optimization of the layout of the combination, adhere to independent innovation and technological transformation combined enterprise restructuring and system innovation, adhere to the combination, adhere to resource development and conservationuse combination.

Plan to put forward clearly, to 2009 non-ferrous metals industry to maintain stable operation, in 2011 into the healthy development track. The formation of 3 - 5 a comprehensive enterprise with strong strength, to 2011, the top ten of copper, aluminum, lead, zinc production accounted for the proportion of total output are increased to 90%, 70%,60%, 60%. Resources to further enhance the capacity, to 2011, copper, aluminum, nickel material support abilitywere increased to 40%, 56%, 38%.

Planning pointed out that the seven main tasks of nonferrous metal industry adjustment and revitalization of: one is to stabilize the domestic market, improve the export environment; two is to strictly control the total, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity; three is to strengthen the technological transformation, promote technological progress; the four is to promote corporate restructuring, adjust industrial layout; the five is the development of domestic and foreign resources, enhance resource security; six is the development of recycling economy, do a good job recycling; seven is to strengthen enterprise management and security monitoring, pay attention to personnel training.

Plan also proposed twelve specific policy measures, including improving the export tax policy, to establish the national Shouchu mechanism, increase investment in technological progress and technological innovation, promote the direct purchase of electricity pilot, improve enterprise restructuring policies, support enterprises to "go out", to revise and improve the industrial policy, the rational allocation of resources, to continue the implementation ofmaintain pressure financing policy, strictly implement the accountability system for energy-saving emission reductionand eliminate backward production capacity, the establishment of industrial communication and informationdisclosure system, play the role of industry associations (chambers of Commerce) effect.

Planning requirements, the relevant departments of the State Council in accordance with the planning division,formulate and improve policies and measures as soon as possible, and to strengthen the guidance and supervision and inspection. Each region according to the plan to determine the objectives, tasks and policy measures, according to local conditions to formulate specific implementation plans, to ensure the effectiveness of.
