"The logic behind the Commission’s proposal for an effective raw materials strategy for the EU has been completely turned around in Mr Bütikofer’s report, but successfully so. The criticism of the NGOs was far from feeble, after all. Where the Commission originally promoted (in this order) the accessibility of raw materials on the international market, mining and only then efficiency and recycling, in this new report, the emphasis is, first and foremost, on efficiency and the reuse, recycling and substitution of raw materials. The fact that mining, too, cannot thwart EU objectives relating to nature conservation (Natura 2000) and that a new philosophy relating to collaboration with developing countries has also been incorporated only makes the report better. What is more, it includes a number of solutions for the management of raw materials at European and international level. Supporting initiatives such as the Extractive industries transparency initiative (EITI) increases, for example, transparency in terms of both responsibility and in liability. The report also takes into consideration the social aspects of the raw materials issue. Finally, the report speaks out against speculation in raw materials. For me, the phraseology could have been stricter, but I do support what – as I do now feel – is an efficient EU strategy for raw materials."@en1
