21. European association for mining industries, metal ores and industrial minerals EIP on Raw Materials: Key components Technology-focused policy areas Exploration, extraction, processing, recycling Substitution Non Technology policy areas Improving Europe's raw materials regulatory framework, knowledge and infrastructure base, e.g. access to land. Promotion of excellence in resource efficiency International cooperation Promoting appropriate international cooperation ETP SMR, Research projects, ERA-MIN Implementation of the RMI EIP Level playing field WTO, Trade agreements

22. European association for mining industries, metal ores and industrial minerals First pillar Access to raw materials on world markets at undistorted conditions Key actions: pursuing raw materials diplomacy; promoting enhanced international cooperation; access to primary and secondary raw materials should become a priority in EU trade and regulatory policy; EU policy development at three levels: strengthening states; promoting a sound investment climate; promoting sustainable management of raw materials.

23. European association for mining industries, metal ores and industrial minerals Raw materials diplomacy Seeking cooperation with USA and Japan Integrating raw materials aspects into the bilateral trade negotiations, e.g. South America Promoting sustainable extraction of mineral resources worldwide Developing access to resources in Greenland Capacity building for the African minerals sector

24. European association for mining industries, metal ores and industrial minerals EU Policy on trade in raw materials Situation Increasing numbers of barriers distorting global markets… Leading to suboptimal allocation of scarce resources: There is an economic cost for the lack of trade! Trade is a key policy in the Raw Materials initiative and includes Negotiation of disciplines in bilateral and multilateral trade agreements (e.g. on export restrictions, including export duties) Monitoring, review and WTO enforcement Dialogue and outreach activities

25. European association for mining industries, metal ores and industrial minerals Second pillar Foster sustainable supply of raw materials from European sources Key actions: having the right framework conditions securing access to the land; improving the knowledge base of mineral deposits within EU; better networking between the national geological surveys; promoting research projects; address the problem of skill shortage; raising awareness of the importance of domestic raw materials for the European economy; developing guidelines to reconcile Natura 2000 areas with extractive activities nearby.
