"The International Rubber Study Group (IRSG) is an intergovernmental organisation that seeks to offer a platform for discussion between rubber producing and consuming countries on all aspects of the rubber supply chain. The IRSG aims to collect and disseminate comprehensive statistical information on the world rubber industry. This activity is widely acknowledged as being fundamental for improving transparency in rubber markets and market trends, a prerequisite for better understanding and eventually taming price volatility for this commodity. The rapporteur expresses his concern at the shrinking membership of the IRSG and the fact that China, the largest rubber consumer, and Indonesia, one of the main producers, show no interest in participating in the group. The IRSG’s aims are laudable: to prepare current estimates and analyse future supply and demand trends, while undertaking statistical and economic studies on specific aspects of the industry. It should be mentioned, however, that the IRSG Panel of Associates, which is open to organisations involved in the rubber industry, will inevitably be exposed to the interests and influence of multinationals, which may even extend to the group itself. Such a relationship can only be pernicious, and it may undermine the group’s overall objectives."@en1
