"In view of the announcement by China, which supplies 97% of technology metals, that it is to restrict extraction, the European Union would be well advised to consider stockpiling these materials as part of the raw materials strategy. Plans to support sustainable raw material extraction in the EU require a sophisticated strategy. In view of the long lead time, which is often five to ten years, we need to consider now exactly which raw materials requirements we will need to cover in the long term. These deliberations must also take account of the fact that China has secured raw materials sources for itself in Africa, Mongolia and Afghanistan for many years to come. Recycling will slowly become a more economically interesting prospect in view of the mountains of scrap electronic equipment and rising raw materials prices. What we do not want, however, is a radical solution reminiscent of the bungling over the ban on incandescent light bulbs. I feel that the proposed raw materials strategy has still not been sufficiently thought through, which is why I chose to abstain."@en1
