"The scarcity of resources has exacerbated the international situation, and has culminated in a scramble for resources and widening divisions between countries with resources and those without. No one has benefited from this. It is therefore necessary to develop new approaches for dealing with the issue of raw materials (RM) – especially those which are most critical – in an innovative and innovation-promoting manner, with a view to ultimately avoiding zero-sum games. We must develop a coherent and focused strategy with priority actions for RM: an industrial innovation strategy to secure RM and our competitiveness. Any strategy on RM will ultimately have to focus on increasing innovation in how European industries use RM as this will make a significant contribution to our competitiveness, sustainability and the security of supply. The RM challenge must be turned into an opportunity to invigorate Europe’s industrial power by tapping our innovation and R&D potential. Besides an industrial innovation strategy that aims to lower resource consumption and increase recycling in addition to the sustainable domestic potential that the EU holds, the European Union will, naturally, have to continue to rely on external suppliers for its RM."@en1
