lpv:translated text	"Mr President, may I start by expressing my satisfaction with the outcome of the debate on the raw materials strategy for Europe and with the high standard of the final report tabled before plenary. I believe that the final text does indeed include the parameters which should govern a dynamic EU raw materials strategy for Europe, in terms of development, industry, the environment and innovation. What we need is a strategy that will strengthen the potential for growth and the competitiveness of the European Union, that will support and be supported by European industry, that will utilise domestic raw materials with absolute respect for the environment, that will be linked to research and innovation efforts, by creating new jobs and providing a high standard of training for human resources, and that will strengthen the position of the European Union in a volatile international environment, in which competition for access to cheap natural resources is expected to become even stiffer. I should like to comment on the issue of rare earths, which I have repeatedly raised from this tribune. I personally feel justified in persistently raising this issue and repeatedly questioning the European Commission on it. From being a neglected parochial issue of interest to a few specialists, rare earths have become front page news in newspapers and journals. They function as a useful symbol by highlighting the EU’s strategic dependence on raw materials and the need for a decisive, long-term policy in which industrial, research and innovation efforts are supported by clear and balanced international relations. I also feel justified because, according to its recent announcement, the European Commission endorses our proposal to create strategic reserves of rare earths, in order to help bring about price stability and an uninterrupted supply to green and high-tech European industry."@en1
