lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because it sets out various measures for reducing consumption, increasing recycling and exports, remaining competitive and reducing the price of raw materials. The EU requires a strong industrial base, which is highly dependent upon adequate supplies of raw materials as it becomes more green, in order to move towards a low carbon economy and to remain competitive. The complexity of the administrative processes and the lack of coordination between administrations can result in delays of several years in obtaining authorisation for the exploitation of mineral resources. Such delays are excessive, increase the capital costs of investment and exclude small and medium-sized undertakings from the market. The EU is highly dependent on imports for many raw materials, particularly critical ones. Resource scarcity can aggravate the international political arena, possibly culminating in a scramble for resources and widening divisions between resource-rich and resource-poor countries. Neither would benefit from such a scenario. New approaches therefore need to be developed that deal with the issue of non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials, particularly the resources identified as most critical, in an innovative and innovation-promoting manner, in order, ultimately, to avoid zero-sum games. 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 raw materials. Raw materials diplomacy is therefore of critical importance."@en1
