EU and Argentina step up cooperation on raw materials

In Buenos Aires, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the President of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a partnership between the EU and Argentina on sustainable raw materials value chains.

In line with the EU's Global Gateway strategy, the agreement aims to ensure the development of a secure and sustainable supply of raw materials necessary for the clean energy and digital transition. It also aims to develop a sustainable raw materials industry, and to support the creation of local added value, quality employment and sustainable and inclusive economic growth, to the mutual benefit of both sides.
