1 The European policies on raw-materials TECH-ITALY Green Industrial Technologies For A Sustainable Europe 3 October 2012, Brussels Milan Grohol European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry Unit-F3 «Raw Materials, Metals, Minerals and Forest-based Industries»

2 Structure of the presentation Raw materials Challenges related to raw materials EU Raw materials strategy Critical raw materials Fair and sustainable supply of raw materials from global markets Fostering sustainable supply within the EU Boosting resource efficiency and promoting recycling European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials

3 Raw materials

4 Challenges Continued growth by emerging countries will keep pressure on demand for raw materials Demand also increasingly driven by demand for new technologies EU highly dependent on imports of important raw materials which are increasingly affected by market distortions Potential in Europe, but increased competition for different land uses and a highly regulated environment

5 EU Raw Materials Initiative Integrated strategy based on three pillars area of non-energy, non- agricultural raw materials connecting EU external and internal policies launched Nov reinforced Feb Foster sustainable supply from European sources Ensure level playing field in access to resource in third countries Boost resource efficiency and recycling

6 Critical raw materials (CRM)

7 Critical raw materials

8 CRM in Energy Technologies JRC 2011 Report: Critical Metals in Strategic Energy Technologies: Assessing Rare Metals as Supply-Chain Bottlenecks in Low-Carbon Energy Technologies

9 Critical raw materials Monitor issues of critical raw materials to identify priority actions Update list of critical raw materials at least every 3 years Policy actions not limited it to critical raw materials exclusively

10 Pillar 1 fair and sustainable supply of raw materials from global markets

11 Raw materials diplomacy EU raw materials diplomacy with a view to securing access to raw materials through strategic partnerships and policy dialogues Development policy Cooperation under Africa-EU Joint Strategy Union ( ) Trade strategy Develop bilateral dialogues and strengthen ongoing debates (e.g. G20, UNCTAD, WTO, OECD) Include raw material issues in trade negotiations Continue to tackle barriers through dialogue, but dispute settlement where justified

12 Pillar 2 fostering sustainable supply within the EU

13 EU supply Promote the exchange of best practices in land use planning and administrative conditions for exploration and extraction Enhancing the EU s knowledge base, e.g. increased cooperation between national geological surveys Promote Research and Development in the raw materials value-chain including extraction, processing and substitution With courtesy by Knauf Gips KG

14 Promoting R&D One Geology Europe ProMine EP ExPerl ImpactMin EO MINERS EuroGeoSource Horizon 2020 Exploration, extraction, processing, recycling and substitution I²Mine ERA MIN

15 Pillar 3 Boost resource efficiency and promote recycling

16 Recycling and resource efficiency Large potential of EU s Urban Mines Develop best practices in collection and treatment of waste Develop ecodesign instruments to promote more efficient use of raw materials and ensure recyclability of products Strengthen Waste Shipment Regulation Roadmap to a Resource efficient Europe

17 European Innovation Partnership on raw materials ENTR G3

18 The Context European Raw Materials Strategy Innovation Union Innovation required for the entire value chain of raw materials industrial approach => European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials COM(2012) 82 final - 29 February 2012 ENTR G3

19 Objectives Reduce import dependency Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors Provide alternatives in supply Mitigate negative environmental impacts

20 Key components Technology-focused policy areas WP1 - Exploration, extraction, processing, recycling WP2 - Substitution, alternative functionalities and materials Non Technology policy areas WP3 - Improving Europe's raw materials regulatory framework conditions, knowledge base and infrastructure e.g. data interoperability and availability WP4 - Improving Europe's recycling regulatory framework conditions and excellence e.g. public procurement, private initiatives WP5 - International cooperation Promoting appropriate international cooperation various policy issues possible e.g. geology, research, trade, competitiveness and investment conditions

21 Overarching partnership European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials Up to 10 innovative pilot actions Substitutes for at least 3 applications of critical raw materials Network of Research, Education and Training Centres on sustainable raw materials management EU standardised instruments for the survey of resources/reserves and 3-D geological map dynamic modelling of trends: link demand and supply with reserves and complete LCA Pro-active strategy of EU at bilateral and multilateral level ERAMIN ETP-SMR ETP Suschem EUMAT FBI SPIRE KIC on Raw Materials

22 The way forward On the basis of Council conclusions, political l mandate to proceed Members appointment Oct High Level Conference on the EIP on 13 Nov First meetings of Sherpa group, HLSG and operational groups late 2012/early 2013 HLSG to prepare Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP), for adoption ~ June/July 2013 Communication on SIP, Sept SIP implementation to start Monitoring and evaluation, late 2014 ENTR G3
