Background, aim and structure
EU “Raw Materials Initiative”
•Aim: securing sustainable supplies of raw materials •Launched in 2008, consolidated in 2011 •Non-energy, non-agricultural raw materials •Connecting EU external and internal policies •Integrated strategy (3 pillars) •Introduced list of Critical Raw Materials (CRM) in 2010

1. Raw Materials Initiative
Based on: - dialogues, EU - partner countries collaborate with higher mutual benefit - dialogues established by Letters of Intent
EU – US - Japan workshop on Criticality (Dec 2013) EU - Latin American dialogue on RM (Lima-Peru, March
2014) Workshop: best practices on mining policies and
technologies with advanced mining countries (Brussels, June 2014)
EU - African Union workshop (Brussels, March 2015) EU - Greenland workshop (foreseen June. 2015)
Raw Materials Diplomacy Events
5 events in 2013 - 2015

EIP – novel concept
• Speed up breakthrough innovations
• by pooling resources through a challenge-driven approach
• acting across research and innovation cycle
• bringing together all relevant actors to connect supply and demand side for a societal challenge, covering much more than R&D
• Innovation required for the entire value chain of raw materials – industrial approach
• Exploration, exploitation, processing, using, recycling, substitution, etc.
• Sectors: mining, engineering, pulp and paper, product design, robotics, etc.
Commission adopted the proposal for an Innovation
Partnership on raw materials on 29 February 2012 COM(2012) 82 final
2. European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials

Objectives
Overall objective: Contribute to the 2020 objectives of the EU Industrial Policy (to increase the share of industry in GDP to 20%), the Innovation Union and the Resource Efficiency 'flagships'
Specific objectives: •Reduce import dependency
•Improve supply conditions from European and other sources
•Push Europe to the forefront in raw materials sectors
•Provide alternatives in supply
•Mitigate negative environmental and social impacts

•I.A Raw materials research and innovation coordination
•I.B Technologies for primary and secondary raw materials' production
•I.C Substitution of raw materials
•II. Non-Technology Policy Pillar
•II.A Improving Europe's raw materials framework conditions
•II.B Improving Europe's waste management framework conditions and excellence
•II.C Knowledge, skills and raw materials flows
•III International Cooperation Pillar
•III.1 Technology
•III.2 Global Raw Materials Governance and Dialogues
•III.3 Health, Safety and Environment
•III.4 Skills, Education and Knowledge

• EU - Latin America dialogue on Raw Materials (with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay)
• Lima, Peru, 10-11 March 2014
• Topics addressed:
- Governance, policy and trade
• - Overview of mining potential and investment
• - Research, skills and innovation

• - Exchange of best practices & cooperation on technical, environmental security, health and social issues
Follow-up of the EU-Latin America to be organised in Cartegena-Colombia, end of June/July 2015
3. Raw Materials Diplomacy Dialogues
11
• Workshop on Best practices on mining policies and Technologies (Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, USA and EU) 12 & 13 June 2014
• Topics addressed:
• - Mining policies (including exploration permits and exploitation licences)
• - Environmental, security and health issues (including mining waste disposal, management and rehabilitation of mines)
• - Data acquisition, knowledge base and land use planning
• - Public awareness, acceptance and trust
• - Advanced mining and processing technologies and skills
- Mining in extreme environments
• Follow-up of the Raw Materials Dialogue with advanced mining countries to be organised in Brussels late September 2015
EU-Advanced Mining Countries 3. Raw Materials Diplomacy Dialogues
12
• Proposals for follow-up
• Recommendations for the implementation of the letters of intent on Raw Materials and on cooperation on Raw materials
• Recognising the importance and reiterating the commitment to keep the existing raw material dialogue and to foster cooperation in this area
