Eurometaux letter to Commissioner Breton and President Šefcovic | Agenda for a resilient European metals supply for the green and digital transitions

In its COVID-19 recovery, the EU is prioritising a more resilient supply of the metals and minerals demanded in higher volumes for the green and digital transitions. Europe’s metals industry has a shared ambition to invest into improving European resilience and advancing our global sustainability leadership. We need to learn lessons from COVID-19’s disruption of global supply chains and ensure security of metals supply.

Together, our business leaders emphasise the growing urgency for the EU to make its secure and sustainable metals supply a central priority in plans for a resilient, green, and digital European economy. In this declaration we recommend a comprehensive EU agenda that unlocks financing and investment, takes bold global action, creates a level playing field, and makes sustainability Europe’s metals differentiator.
