"Mr President, firstly, I would like to thank the rapporteur, Mr Bütikofer, for a very good report. Commissioner Tajani, you have given a very clear signal this evening, which gives us hope. After all, we were disappointed with the presentation of the Commission’s strategy in the beginning. However, the raw materials strategy is a vital ingredient for business, employment and jobs here in the European Union. That is why a coherent strategy is essential.
It goes without saying that we need the three pillars: security for our sources of raw materials, a recycling strategy, including greater efficiencies, as well as a joint approach so that partnerships can be established with the main raw materials suppliers of this world. The amendments tabled by the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe focus on the idea that we should include more members of the scientific community in this strategy because there are many modern techniques for using raw materials found on the sea bed in the world’s oceans that still need to be researched and developed. This is precisely where Europeans have something to offer raw materials suppliers in developing countries and emerging economies as part of a common raw materials strategy. As liberals we believe it is important to remember that small and medium-sized enterprises require our particular help. Big business can secure raw materials for itself, while small and medium-sized enterprises need a joint strategy.
Hence our call on you: let us work together to unite the Member States under the umbrella of the EU and establish long-term partnerships with the countries with the raw materials. The aim of the raw materials strategy must be to bring economic policy, environmental policy and international trade, together with development policy, under one roof."@en1
