von der Leyen announced the EU's plan to reduce reliance on Chinese raw materials!
EU Commission President von der Leyen announced a new initiative today at the Berlin Global Dialogue Conference, which aims to reduce the EU's dependence on key raw materials from China.
"The goal is to provide alternative sources of critical raw materials for our European industry in the short, medium and long term."
Madam von der Leyen's new project will be called the European Resource Reconstruction Plan, similar to the European Energy Reconstruction Plan aimed at ending the EU's dependence on Russian gas.
Under this initiative, the EU plans to expand partnerships with countries such as Australia, Kazakhstan, Canada, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Chile in the areas of raw material supply and processing.
"We will focus on everything from joint procurement to stockpiles, and we will promote investment in strategic projects for the production and processing of critical raw materials in the EU."
