As the world races to secure the critical minerals needed for the energy and digital transitions, Europe is looking to open new mines on the continent to secure local and resilient supply chains. The Critical Raw Materials Act (2024) sets a benchmark of 10% of the EU\u2019s consumption of mined materials to be extracted locally by 2030, via the selection of Strategic Projects. However, on a continent where mining has been declining for decades, Europe\u2019s mining rules are, in some cases, below the global best practice, with concerns around environmental standards, water use and meaningful participation being raised.<\/p>\n
This side event of the EU Raw Materials Week co-h\u00e9berg\u00e9 par EEB, PowerShift and T&E will provide a deep dive into the current state of European mining legislation, the opportunities and challenges.<\/strong> The discussion will focus on how EU legal frameworks such as the Extractive Waste Directive, Water Framework Direction, Arhus Convention and reference documents like BREFs are applied and where improvement is needed, in order to ensure more sustainable mining practices. En parall\u00e8le, we will explore where opportunities to drive more innovative practices exist, such as how a revision of the Extractive Waste Directive can promote more re-mining of extractive waste. Short inputs will set the stage for a panel with speakers from government, industry and civil society. The aim is to discuss where EU legislation or standards and citizen engagement work well and where gaps remain and to develop ideas for more sustainable approaches to mining.<\/p>\n Programme :<\/p>\n 09h00 : Bienvenue (Diego Marin)<\/p>\n 09:10 Pr\u00e9sentation sur les normes et la r\u00e9glementation dans l'UE (Anna Sch\u00f6nwald, Nabu)<\/p>\n 09:20 Pr\u00e9sentation de la directive europ\u00e9enne sur les d\u00e9chets (Emily Ritchey T&E)<\/p>\n 09:30 Pr\u00e9sentation sur la r\u00e9extraction (Geological Survey)<\/p>\n 09:40 D\u00e9marrage de la discussion du panneau:<\/p>\n pan\u00e9listes:<\/p>\n Cecilia Mattea, responsable r\u00e9gionale Europe, IRMA<\/p>\n Sara Matthieu, membre du Parlement europ\u00e9en<\/p>\n Pauline Wolters, Policy Officer, DG Env<\/p>\n Tba, EU Geological Survey<\/p>\n Emily Ritchey, T&E<\/p>\n Michael Reckordt et PowerShift<\/p>\n Mod\u00e9ration : Diego Marin, EEB<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the world races to secure the critical minerals needed for the energy and digital transitions, Europe is looking to open new mines on the continent to secure local and resilient supply chains.
