2021年11月15日

尊敬的羅伯特·霍利格（Robert Holliger）、貝恩德·杜爾雷（Bernd Doerre ）先生以及EPAL的各位朋友：

你們(men) 好，很高興(xing) 能夠與(yu) 大家在線上相見。首先，我很榮幸能夠出任BRAPS的主席一職，代表华体会登录界面（CFLP）與(yu) 歐洲托盤協會(hui) （EPAL）進行深入交流合作，此次會(hui) 議是一帶一路托盤共享行動（BRAPS）的正式啟動會(hui) 議，標誌著我們(men) 與(yu) 歐洲托盤協會(hui) 合作進入新的階段，也意味著中國和歐洲托盤共享事業(ye) 踏入新的征程，這將是托盤全球化合作的開端。

探討中歐托盤合作，離不開中歐經濟與(yu) 物流發展的大背景。自從(cong) 中國“一帶一路”倡議提出以來，中國與(yu) 沿線國家貿易來往更加頻繁，加強了中歐間經濟和貿易發展的對接和融合，促進了經濟合作和互動交流，“一帶一路”已經成為(wei) 源於(yu) 中國、世界共享的重要發展機遇，具有強勁生命力和廣闊發展前景。物流業(ye) 是基礎性、戰略性、服務型產(chan) 業(ye) ，在國際貿易中發揮著重要的作用，特別是中歐班列在“一帶一路”下得到了快速發展，目前中歐班列累計開行超過4萬(wan) 列，合計貨值超過2000億(yi) 美元，打通73條運行線路，通達歐洲23個(ge) 國家的160多個(ge) 城市，在全球疫情蔓延的情況下，橫跨亞(ya) 歐大陸的中歐班列憑借其獨特優(you) 勢，成為(wei) 了一條恢複經濟發展的新通道。托盤作為(wei) 物流基礎單元，是中歐班列等多種運輸方式中的重要器具，在“一帶一路”商貿流通、物流運輸、加強中歐經貿合作中發揮著極其重要的作用。

近年來，中國托盤行業(ye) 的發展已經打下了較好的基礎，托盤產(chan) 能持續擴張，標準化工作不斷推進，應用場景也越來越多。隨著中國產(chan) 業(ye) 的轉型升級和不斷發展，現階段中國托盤行業(ye) 進入了轉型升級時期，也是對外合作新的窗口期。

一是巨大的市場空間對托盤行業(ye) 提出了更高的需求。中國作為(wei) 全球最大的發展中國家，經濟一直保持著高速穩定發展，中國社會(hui) 物流總額已超300萬(wan) 億(yi) ，這個(ge) 物流規模仍在持續擴大，這對於(yu) 托盤這一基礎性設備而言，帶來了廣闊發展空間的同時，也提出了新的要求和挑戰。

二是托盤產(chan) 業(ye) 在中國及國際物流發展中的地位和作用將顯著提升。當前，中國物流行業(ye) 更加注重高質量發展，向自動化、智能化發展方向轉變，托盤將成為(wei) 未來供應鏈創新過程中最基礎且不可或缺的元素，同時也是移動智能化的重要載體(ti) ，托盤的循環使用與(yu) 互認共享，對於(yu) 銜接中歐之間貿易，提高中歐之間物流效率具有重要的作用。

三是托盤標準的完善與(yu) 應用將推動托盤國際化共享的進程。中國一直以來十分重視托盤標準化體(ti) 係的建設，近兩(liang) 年，托盤基礎標準的梳理與(yu) 研究工作進一步加強，特別是中歐托盤標準對接的研究，這對於(yu) 國內(nei) 標準托盤的循環使用，以及國際托盤標準的對接具有重要意義(yi) ，也是托盤國際共享的基礎。

四是數字化發展方向加速托盤產(chan) 業(ye) 轉型升級。中國托盤產(chan) 業(ye) 已經向規模化、集約化方向轉變，基礎能力在不斷加強，同時智能化技術的應用，提高了托盤在生產(chan) 、使用中的便利性，托盤循環共用和智能化托盤得到快速發展，歐洲托盤在這一方麵具有成熟的經驗，在托盤對接的過程中，可以互利互惠，進一步推進托盤產(chan) 業(ye) 的數字化進程。

在此時機下，“一帶一路”倡議下的中歐托盤共享行動，是推動中歐貿易與(yu) 物流發展的重要舉(ju) 措，BRAPS是順應時代發展而形成的，不僅(jin) 是全球化托盤共享的先行者，也是助力物流國際化與(yu) 供應鏈一體(ti) 化發展的重要手段和途徑。希望通過中歐間托盤的對接，可以加強“一帶一路”合作倡議與(yu) 歐洲發展戰略對接，推動中歐互聯互通平台建設。

华体会登录界面作為(wei) 中國物流行業(ye) 的協會(hui) 組織，一直以來致力於(yu) 托盤產(chan) 業(ye) 發展與(yu) 應用，此次BRAPS的開啟，意味著托盤國際化工作走向新的階段，也是华体会登录界面在國際物流與(yu) 供應鏈合作的重要舉(ju) 措。歐洲托盤協會(hui) （EPAL）作為(wei) 歐洲托盤行業(ye) 的引領者，在托盤生產(chan) 、管理、運營等多方麵具有深厚的經驗，一直以來，與(yu) 我們(men) 华体会登录界面保持著緊密的合作溝通與(yu) 聯係，是我們(men) 重要的合作夥(huo) 伴。期待在未來的合作中，能夠相互尊重，攜起手來共同推進中歐托盤的發展，探索出一條適應新時代發展的國際托盤共享之路，共同推進物流與(yu) 供應鏈全球化發展進程。

最後，再次感謝EPAL的各位同仁，期望我們(men) 今天可以充分交流，達成共識，謝謝！

Appointment speech of Mr. Cai Jin on the Belt and Road action of pallet sharing (BRAPS)  forum 

Distinguished Mr. Robert Holliger, Mr. Bernd Doerre and fiends from EPAL,

Nice to meet you online. I feel very honored to be the President of BRAPS, and to work with EPAL on behalf of CFLP. This forum marks the official commencement of BRAPS, and a new phase of cooperation between CFLP and EPAL. Meanwhile, this means that the China-Europe pallet sharing embarked a brand new journey, and a starting point of global cooperation in pallet sector.

We need to discuss the China-Europe pallet cooperation in the context of China-Europe economic and logistic development. Since The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) was proposed, The trade between China and the countries along the route was intensified. China-Europe economic and trade development was also accelerated, strengthening the economic cooperation, communication and interaction. The BRI has become an important development opportunity from China but for the world, thanks to its vigor, resilience and potential for development. Logistics plays an important role in international trade as a basic and strategic service industry. In particular, China-Europe Railway Express developed rapidly under the BRI. At present, a total of 40,000 trips have been made by the freight trains between China and Europe, generating a combined value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars and connecting up 73 routes in operation across more than 160 cities in 23 European countries. When the pandemic wreaks havoc worldwide, the China Railway Express, with its unique advantages, serves as a new pathway in the economic recovery. As a basic unit in logistics, pallet is an important instrument for multiple transportation modes, including the China-Europe Railway Express, with its extremely important role in the trade, transportation and China-Europe economic cooperation along the Belt and Road.

In recent years, the development of Chinese pallet industry laid a good foundation for the continuous expansion of the industry’s capacity, standardization and application scenarioses. However, as China experienced the continuous industrial transformation, upgrade and development, the pallet industry also came to transformation and upgrading period, which is a new moment for foreign cooperation.

Ⅰ. The huge market has higher demand for the pallet industry. As the world's largest developing country, China maintained steady and fast development for years. Its total logistics has exceeded 300 trillion RMB, while the size continues to grow. For pallet, the basic instrument in the industry, not only does it create a broad space for development, but also pose new requirements and challenges on the way forward.

Ⅱ. The pallet industry will play an even more significant role in the development of Chinese and international logistics. At present, China’s logistics industry has shifted to high-quality development, featuring mechanization, automation and intelligent growth. Pallet will be the most basic and indispensable element in the future supply chain innovation, and an important carrier in intelligent mobility. Its recycle, mutual recognition and sharing will play an important role in China-Europe trade, and in increasing the efficiency of logistics in China-Europe.

Ⅲ. The improvement and application of pallet standards will accelerate the international pallets sharing. China always attaches importance to the development of pallet standardization system. In the past two years, it further enhanced the review and research of basic pallet standards, especially the research in the alignment of Chinese and European pallet standards. Such research is important for the recycling of standard pallets in China, and the alignment with international pallet standards. Also, it serves as the foundation for the international pallets sharing.

Ⅳ. Digitalized development accelerates the upgrade of pallet industry. The industry has shifted to socialized and intensive development, and continuously strengthened its basic capacity. It applied intelligent technologies, and improved the convenient production and utilization of pallet, enabling the rapid development of pallet recycling, sharing as well as intelligent pallet. Europe has mature experience in this field. In the pallet-related cooperation, China and Europe could benefit and complement each other, in order to further boost the digitalization of the pallet industry.

At the moment, BRAPS marks an important step in promoting the development of China-Europe trade and logistics, and also corresponds to the new development trend in the new era. BRAPS is not only a pioneer in global pallet sharing, but also an important means in boosting the internationalization of logistics and the integration of supply chain. Through BRAPS, I hope we can help to enhance the connection between BRI and European development strategies, and the China-Europe connectivity.

As an industrial association in the logistics sector, CFLP dedicates to facilitating the development and application of pallet in China. The initiative of BRAPS will push the pallet internationalization to a new period, and will serve as an important measure by CFLP in the international cooperation in logistics and supply chain. As a leader in the European pallet industry, EPAL has rich experiments in pallet production, management and operation. It maintained close communication and connection with CFLP for years, and is an important partner of us. We hope that both parties would respect each other, and join hands to promote the development of China-Europe pallet in the future cooperation. We will develop a new way of international pallet sharing applicable to the new era in order to facilitate the globalization of logistics and supply chain.

The last but not the least, I would express my sincere gratitude to the EPAL colleagues, and look forward to an open, frank and thorough communication as well as a concrete consensus in particular. Thank you!
