1 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 The EU Raw Materials Initiative - Critical Raw Materials for the EU - Trans-Atlantic Workshop Rare Earth Elements and Other Critical Materials for a Clean Energy Future Boston, 03 December 2010 European Commission Enterprise and Industry Antje Wittenberg Metals, Minerals, Raw Materials

2 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Main challenges  EU highly dependent on imports of important raw materials (metals and industrial minerals) which are increasingly affected by market distortions  Still potential in Europe (self-sufficient supply for construction materials, potential for other raw materials), but exploration and extraction face ongoing increasing competition for different land uses and a highly regulated environment

3 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 The Raw Materials Initiative Integrated strategy based on three pillars Right framework conditions within the EU in order to foster sustainable supply from European sources Ensuring access to raw materials from International Markets under the same conditions as other industrial competitors Boosting resource efficiency and recycling to reduce the EU's consumption of primary raw materials

4 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Trade policy actions 1st pillar  Challenging unjustified trade distortive measures  Bilateral negotiations on export restrictions  Raising awareness ► Trade Annual Activity Report 2009

5 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Development policy 1st pillar  agreement African Union Commission / European Commission in Addis Ababa, June 2010, to launch a bilateral co-operation in three areas: ► Governance ► Infrastructure / investment ► Geological knowledge / skills Based on African Mining Vision and EU Raw Materials Initiative

6 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Access to land 2nd pillar  Promote the exchange of best practice in land use planning and administrative conditions for exploration and extraction  Encourage better networking between national geological surveys to increase the EU's knowledge base  Develop guidelines the compatibility between Natura 2000 and extractive activities

7 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Promote research 2nd pillar  Under FP7 new funding opportunities have recently been created for projects on: ► Advanced underground technologies for intelligent mining ► Substitution of critical raw materials ► Coordination of activities in Member States in the area of the industrial handling of raw material

8 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Efficiency & recycling 3rd pillar  Huge potential of EU’s Urban Mines  Tackle illegal shipment of waste to third countries through a more harmonised enforcement of Waste Shipment Regulation  Develop best practices in the area of collection and treatment of key waste streams  Develop eco-design measures aimed at fostering more efficient use of raw materials in products

9 European Commission Enterprise and Industry RMI | A. Wittenberg | 03.12.2010 | ‹#›/26 Increase resource efficiency 3rd pillar  The Commission plans to publish a Roadmap on how to move towards a resource efficient Europe by summer 2011.  The roadmap will set out specific resource efficiency objectives, and how to meet them, based on actions up to 2020 with a time perspective of up to 2050.
