1 EU raw materials strategy MIN-GUIDE Policy Laboratory 4: Innovations and Supporting Policies for Waste Management and Mine Closure Lavrion, 21 September 2017 Helena Cavaco Viegas, Policy Officer European Commission Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials Unit GROW ENTR FC2

2 COM priorities Securing sustainable supply to the EU and contributing to the European Commission priorities Commission priorities Jobs, Growth and Investment - circular economy and green growth Raw Materials Initiative EU policy 3. Energy Union - transition to a low-carbon economy (renewables, electricity market, transport ) 4. Internal Market - unlock the full potential of the single market - a renewed EU Industrial Policy Strategy 6. Trade policy to harness globalisation - economic diplomacy - raw materials chapters in FTAs 9. A stronger global actor - international cooperation and development

3 Raw Materials Initiative 1. Fair and sustainable supply of raw materials from global markets EU trade strategy for raw materials Raw materials diplomacy Assistance to developing countries 2. Fostering sustainable supply within the EU Exchange of good practice between EU Member States Enhancing EU knowledge base Promoting research and skills 3. Boosting resource efficiency and promoting recycling Better implementation and smarter EU waste legislation promoting resourceefficiency & recycling Strengthen the enforcement of the EU Waste Shipment Regulation Cross-cutting issues Critical Raw Materials EIP on Raw Materials H2020 3

4 The EU is taking action to ensure the security of supply of raw materials The Raw Materials Initiative is the EU raw materials policy strategy o The European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials brings together the entire raw materials community o Horizon 2020: EUR 600 million secured for raw materials ( )

5 EIP RM - The Strategic Implementation Plan Developing a Strategic Implementation Plan I. Technology Pillar I.A Raw materials research and innovation coordination I.B Technologies for primary and secondary raw materials' production I.C Substitution of raw materials II. Non-Technology Policy Pillar II.1 Improving Europe's raw materials framework conditions II.2 Improving Europe's waste management framework conditions and excellence II.3 Knowledge, skills and raw materials flows III International Cooperation Pillar III.1 Technology III.2 Global Raw Materials Governance and Dialogues III.3 Health, Safety and Environment III.4 Skills, Education and Knowledge III.5 Investment activities

6 EIP RM Raw Materials Scoreboard The Raw Materials Scoreboard gives an overview of the challenges related to raw materials

7 Horizon 2020 Excellent science ( 24 billion) SC5. Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials SC5 - Raw materials (~ 600 million for 7 years) 26 out of 40 projects related to CRMs launched so far Circular Economy SC2 - Bioeconomy SC3 - Energy Industrial leadership ( 17 billion) Societal challenges ( 31 billion) + ERA-MIN 2 + EIT Raw Materials C2

8 H2020 Next steps Horizon WP Near 240 million available under SC5. Actions covering the entire EU raw materials value chain, following the logic of SIP and supporting the targets and objectives of the EIP on Raw Materials. Specific attention to CRMs, Circular economy, Sustainable production of primary and secondary raw materials Involving all relevant actors at EU level as well as strategic international partners. Pursuing collaboration and synergies with other parts of Horizon Adoption and publication in end-october 2017

9 EU critical raw materials A Critical Raw Material is one with high risk of a supply disruption and, at the same time, with high economic importance to the EU economy. Economic importance Importance of a raw material per economic sector & importance of the sector in the EU economy (value added) Substitution (technical and cost performance) Supply risk Global supply and EU sourcing Market concentration (HHI) Governance performance (WGI) Import reliance Trade agreements and restrictions Substitution (production, criticality, co/byproduction) End-of-Life Recycling Input Rate

13 Extractive Waste DIRECTIVE 2006/21/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 15 March 2006 on the management of waste from extractive industries Article 5 Waste management plan 1. Member States shall ensure that the operator draws up a waste management plan for the minimisation, treatment, recovery and disposal of extractive waste, taking account of the principle of sustainable development. b) to encourage the recovery of extractive waste by means of recycling, reusing or reclaiming such waste, where this is environmentally sound in accordance with existing environmental standards at Community level and with the requirements of this Directive where relevant;

14 Extractive Waste Turning an extractive waste into a resource Relevant in the context of: H2020 projects the EU Raw Materials Diplomacy events with Latin America and Advanced Mining Countries ( ) International Study Groups
