In response, yesterday the High Level Steering Group of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Raw Materials released a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) describing how we can act to ensure a sustainable supply of raw materials to the European economy and make Europe a world leader in raw materials exploration, extraction, processing, recycling and substitution by 2020.

Greenland has an especially strong potential in six of the fourteen critical raw materials identified by the European Commission as part of its Raw Materials Strategy (niobium, platinum group metals, rare earths and tantalum) and moderate for further three elements.

14. Welcomes the establishment of the sectoral work stream on raw materials within the TEC's Innovation Action Partnership; believes that the issue of rare earths merits particular priority within this work stream; calls for the development of a collaborative research agenda and exchange of best practice on critical raw materials, particularly within the context of a trilateral co-operation with Japan; calls for transatlantic co-operation with regards to data sharing on raw materials, including secondary raw materials; believes that such co-operation should include common forecasting, analyses of supply chains, deliberations on joint ...[+++] stocks and possible harmonisation of data formats; believes that the transatlantic partnership in co-operation with Japan should promote global governance institutions on raw materials akin to the International Energy Forum (IEF); calls on the European Commission to put the issue of critical raw materials, particularly rare earths, on the agenda of the next EU-US Summit.

8. Points out that effective governance of RM policy is key to an effective RM strategy; notes that an effective strategy must include a continuous dialogue with the stakeholders concerned; emphasises the need for close coordination and provision of information within the Commission and the European Parliament and between Member States; recommends the establishment of a high-level interdepartmental RM task force in 2011, as is the case in France and the United States, encompassing the relevant DGs, the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Environment Agency and the EEAS, to elaborate, monitor and review policies, including partnership agreements, to ensure strategic coherence and to promote the establishment of an early-warning syst ...[+++]em, inter alia for market distortion and resource-fuelled conflicts, complemented by a monitoring group; calls on the Commission to set up a long-term ‘European Raw Materials Roadmap to 2050’, which would identify future developments, threats and opportunities in the RM and CRM sectors and which could help European industries, academic and research institutions to engage in long-term planning and investment; calls further on the Commission to support Member States in developing their own RM strategies and to foster coordination and the exchange of best practice among them, including on the external dimension; suggests that the upcoming communication on the external dimension of energy could serve as a template;
