泰国农业部长Pitipong先生周三在与访泰中国贸易代表团会面时表示，希望中国推迟复合胶新配方标准的实施时间，以给泰方生产企业足够的时间调整生产。
Pitipong先生解释，此项新政策可能在2015年1月1号实施，其要求进口复合胶中生胶含量不高于88%，泰国的复合胶生产企业将因此损失在华份额。Pitipong先生希望中国贸易代表团给泰国一年的时间来安装新设备、培训工人，以适应新的标准。

BANGKOK, 06 November 2014 (NNT) – Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Pitipong Puengboon na Ayutthaya on Wednesday asked for China to consider delaying its enforcement of a new regulation on compound rubber products for one more year, to allow time for Thai producers to adjust their manufacturing process to meet the new standard.
Mr. Pitipong made the request during a meeting with the Chinese trade delegation in Thailand. The minister explained that China's new importation standard for compound rubber, which is slated to take effect on January 1, mandates that natural rubber shall not constitute more than 88% of compound rubber composition. Thailand's compound rubber makers stand to lose their share in the Chinese market because their products contain a higher ratio of natural rubber than allowed in the new standard.
Mr. Pitipong asked the Chinese trade delegation to give Thai producers one year to install new machinery and train staff to accommodate the new standard.
