"Europe faces both challenges and great opportunities with regard to raw materials. As demand for raw materials surges globally, the EU has the chance to reap benefits by strengthening raw materials supply and efficiency, while satisfying the needs of EU industry and the sector in question.
We believe fair access to, and stable and predictable prices of, raw materials are of vital importance to the development potential, competitiveness, innovation and preservation of European industry, at the expense of access and supply restrictions, particularly in relation to critical raw materials like rare earth elements. Equally, high price volatility could hinder the competitiveness, eco-efficiency and innovation prospects of EU industry, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
I believe that resource policy and resource diplomacy are of great importance for the EU, not only with regard to industrial policy and international trade, but also as a cross-cutting issue concerning various areas of domestic policy, as well as foreign and security policy"@en1
