Non-energy raw materials - EU kommissionen

Følg med  i EU komissionens arbejde indenfor og med "Enterprise and Industry/ Rawmaterials/ Critical Rawmaterials":

Non-energy raw materials are vital inputs for the EU’s economy, and are particularly crucial for the development of modern environmentally friendly technologies such as electric cars and photovoltaics.

However, as global raw material markets are increasingly distorted by protectionist trade policies, maintaining fair and undistorted access to these materials for EU industry and citizens is increasingly difficult. Within the EU, exploration and extraction have to face increased competition for different land uses and a highly regulated environment. There are also important challenges to overcome in improving how Europe can increase the recovery of materials from waste.
