"I voted in favour of this resolution because the European Union must have a consistent and efficient raw materials strategy, which would contribute to promoting economic growth and the creation of new jobs. Right now, global demand for raw materials is increasing, and this is the best time for the EU to strengthen raw materials supply and efficiency, while satisfying the needs of EU industries and the raw materials sector. I welcome the proposal for the Commission to set up a stockpiling mechanism for critical raw materials, which would guarantee European companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, access to strategic materials and protection against monopolist pressure and price rises. It should be noted that fair access to and stable prices for raw materials will ensure the competitiveness and eco-efficiency of EU industry and create a favourable environment for the development of innovation. Consequently, the Commission must ensure the removal of export and import restrictions and trade-distorting measures."@en1
