Pakistan Tanneries Asked The Government To Ban The Export Of Live Animals Altogether.

< p > previously, China Leather net once reported that < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Pakistan tannery Association < /a > (PTA) mentioned in the budget motion that since the leather industry does not enjoy the GSP policy on the EU market, the products can not enter the EU market at a preferential zero tariff rate. The government should restore the zero tax system of the export leather industry enterprises in the 2014-15 federal budget plan so as to alleviate the problem of insufficient cash flow.

< /p >

< p > > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > PTA < /a > also requires that the government should ban the export of live animals completely because of the huge market potential of leather products and the stagnant export of leather industry.

< /p >

Fawad Jawed, chairman of the Southern District of P > PTA, insists that the support of the Ministry of Commerce will boost the total export volume of leather industry to US $3 billion in the next three years, and become the second largest export industry after the textile industry in the country.

< /p >

< p > Jawed stressed the proposal of PTA's budget proposal, which requires the government to reduce the import tariff of basic leather chemicals, and the original leather should be included in the sixth product list of the 1990 sales tax act of the country.

< /p >

< p > the PTA chairman also requested the Secretary for trade development of Pakistan to help strongly recommend the proposal of PTA to be included in the budget and trade policy of Pakistan in 2014-15.

< /p >

< p > he asked the government to concession to the PTA members about the requirements of < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > sales tax < /a >, and mentioned that leather export has dropped 17% from the $1 billion 220 million of the 2007-08 fiscal year, and the total export amount in the 2012-13 fiscal year is 1 billion 10 million US dollars.

< p > compared with the positive growth trend of leather industry export in India and other countries, Pakistan's leather export ratio shows a negative growth.

< p > "specifications for leather industry". All new construction or renovation and tannery enterprises in China (except Taiwan, Hongkong and Macao) are regulated from 6 aspects of enterprise layout, enterprise scale, technology and equipment, environmental protection, occupational safety and health, supervision and management, but not fur processing enterprises.

< /p >

< p > in the layout of enterprises, leather manufacturing enterprises that require new construction or renovation and expansion must comply with national laws and regulations, industrial policies and industry development plans, comply with the general land use planning, land supply policies and land use standards, and strictly implement the environmental impact assessment system.

Tanning enterprises shall not be established within the environmental sensitive areas such as nature reserves, scenic spots, drinking water source protection areas, cultural protection areas, and the protected areas of cultivated land and basic farmland determined by the general land use plan.

At the same time, tannery enterprises should be encouraged to concentrate production and concentrate on pollution control. In the tannery Park, centralized sewage treatment facilities should be constructed to collect and centrally treat the sewage of enterprises in the park and discharge them steadily.

< /p >

< p > in terms of process technology and equipment, the specification requires enterprises to use solid salts to treat the raw leather. The raw materials should be cleaned by rotating cage before they are immersed in water, and the waste salt should be recycled or separately standardized to reduce the salt in tannery wastewater.

At the same time, tannery enterprises are required to adopt water soaking technology, such as soaking water as the core, to reduce water consumption and displacement.

< /p >

< p > in the production process, enterprises should also adopt various cleaner production technologies to reduce the production of COD, ammonia nitrogen, volatile organic compounds, chloride and trivalent chromium.

Specification conditions show that enterprises will be encouraged to use automation equipment to upgrade the automation level of leather industry, and encourage the use of chromium rich sludge and chrome containing leather scrap recycling technology.
