Abstract: Total-amount-control policy on rare earth mining is a regulation policy to protect and rationally utilize rare earth resources in China.This policy has played the positive role in aspects of preventing overexploitation of the rare earth resource,promoting large-scale development in rare earth industry,responding the WTO litigation,regulating supply on the market.But it also faces with some problems in the implementation process.For instance,the policy does not work for private dig mining action;Amount of rare earths which produce from engineering construction is difficult to control;the capacity of smelting is far more than the supply within total-amount-control;the mandatory producing plan in smelting industry and total-amount-control policy does not match well,etc.This paper offers some proposals based on tracking and analyzing total-amount-control policy.Firstly,total-amount-control policy should apply on ionic rare earth resources;secondly,total-amount-control policy should coordinate with big-enterprise strategy;thirdly,the amount of rare earths which produce from engineering construction should be strictly governed in total-amount-control;fourthly,the key point is to enhance supervision and implementation for this policy.
