Discover how Chemycal PRO helps you boosting your regulatory monitoring:
The European Commission introduced the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA) in March 2023 to boost domestic production of vital materials for green and digital advancements, aiming to reduce dependence on foreign sources. However, prioritizing self-sufficiency could overlook limited domestic reserves. The Commission's approach seems dismissive of community concerns.
The CRMA outlines "strategic raw materials" with accelerated permits, but this raises concerns about community rights and environmental protection.
