SHORT JUSTIFICATION

The DEVE Opinion concerns the targeted amendments to the Regulation of the EP and the Council on establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials (2024/1252), the so-called Critical Raw Materials Act, notably those parts of Article 24 on Company risk preparedness. It transfers from the Member States to the European Commission the identification of large companies covered by the rules under the CRMA, clarification of the aspects to consider for the risk preparedness assessment and mitigation measures, including mapping of the supply chains. In accordance with the proposed amendments, the Commission may request information and clarify further the mitigation measures needed, taking into account information on supply risks, trade flows, potential obstacles to trade in critical raw materials and the shares of reliance on a single third country in the supply chain.

The draft for the DEVE opinion calls for enhanced inter-institutional cooperation to support the Commission in these acts, and to ensure alignment with prior commitments and international agreements. The risk assessment and vulnerability prevention efforts requested from large companies require a conflict-sensitive analysis, and meaningful consultations with stakeholder intervention, notably with local communities and civil society organisations. These are necessary steps to anticipate and address supply chains disruption risks posed by conflicts and crises and thus to secure the Union’s sustainable access to raw materials.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on the Environment, Climate and Food SafetyDevelopment submits the following to the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as the committee responsible:

Amendment 1

Amendment

(2) Access to secure and sustainable critical raw materials is essential for the Union’s objectives of clean and digital transition as set out in the Clean Industrial Deal.Deal3 . They are also essential components for the Union’s industries, in all areas including defence. Due to the current geopolitical situation the Union’s supply and security of critical raw materials is put at risk and therefore, the current framework should be strengthened.

(2) Access to secure and sustainable critical raw materials is essential for the competitiveness of the Union economy, as well as the Union’s objectives of clean and digital transition as set out in the Clean Industrial Deal.Deal3 . They are also essential components for the Union’s strategic autonomy and its industries, in all strategic sectors,areas including defence.

Amendment 2

Amendment

(2a) Demand for critical raw materials will increase. This underlines the need to diversify supply sources, strengthen domestic production and develop the entire value chain and alternative materials. This will also require targeted investments in recyclability of critical raw materials and strengthening of the Union’s recycling potential. It is therefore essential to ensure that minerals already present in the Union are processed, reused and recycled within the Union’s economy.

(2a) Due to critical disruption risks posed by conflicts and crises, as well as by environmental hazards, and their consequences on human displacements, the current framework for risk preparedness should be reinforced by conflict and environmentally sensitive risk analyses.

Amendment 3

Amendment

(2b) In both national and Union budgets, support should focus on research, development and innovation embedded in ecosystems that enable the scale-up and commercialisation of new solutions, as well as on advancing strategic projects across the value chain of critical minerals. This calls for the effective and transparent use of the various instruments at national and EU level.

(2b) The Commission should promote full transparency and full traceability across the entire supply chain to ensure alignment with the Union’s strategic priorities and engagement in resource-rich partner countries and regions, and to secure the Union’s sustainable access to raw materials. The Commission should promote compliance with all international instruments concerning responsible business conduct, responsible governance and responsible supply chains referred to in Annex III to Regulation (EU) 2024/1252.

Amendment 4

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 3

Recital 2 c (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(3) Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1252, the Commission is required to set up calls for application for Strategic Projects with at least four cut-off dates per year. Given the high number of applications for recognition of Strategic Project under each call per call received for the identification of Strategic projects of strategic critical raw material projects and to ensure a better assessment of the various applications, it should be possible for the Commission to limit the number of such calls per year.

(2c) The Commission’s risk mitigation strategy for large companies for secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials should be in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, and should contribute to sustainable economic development, in line with policy coherence for development and Article 208 TFEU. Cooperation with partner countries, in particular low and middle income countries, in particular in Africa, should also contribute to the local development of sustainable processing, refining, manufacturing and recycling and extraction capacities, ensuring that raw materials are not only exported but also transformed locally. The Commission’s strategy should contribute to diversifying supply chains, establishing decent employment and the creation of local industrial capacities and added value, benefiting both the Union and local partners, while respecting their development priorities.

(3) Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1252, the Commission is required to set up calls for application for Strategic Projects with at least four cut-off dates per year. Given the high number of applications for recognition of Strategic Project under each call per call received for the identification of Strategic projects of strategic critical raw material projects and to ensure a better assessment of the various applications, it should be possible for the Commission to limit the number of such calls per year. It is essential that the Commission is equipped with adequate resources, administrative capacity and technical expertise, including access to digital tools, to ensure a thorough, efficient and timely assessment of applications in order to maintain a predictable and regular schedule of calls and provide project promoters with clarity and support.

Amendment 5

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 45

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(4) Under Regulation (EU) 2024/1252, Member States are required to identify large companies by May 2025 and within 12 months of each update of the list of strategic raw materials pursuant to Article 3(3). Nevertheless, large companies that use critical raw materials can operate in more than one Member State. To avoid a duplication of the identification of these large companies by the various national administrations and to prevent a risk of fragmentation of the Single Market, it should be for the Commission to identify these large companies operating in the Union.

(5) It is essential to strengthen the risk preparedness of the large companies that are identified by the Commission, it is essential that their obligations are strengthened, and therefore large companies should be required to take measures to mitigate their vulnerabilities, including by diversifying their raw material supply chain. The Commission should be able to receive the information regarding their compliance necessary for an effective monitoring and ensure they are prepared in case of supply disruption. The Commission should specify the mitigation measures that large companies should adopt in case of vulnerabilities, it should be able to do so by means of delegated acts.

Nevertheless, large companies that use critical raw materials can operate in more than one Member State. To avoid a duplication of the identification of these large companies by the various national administrations and to prevent a risk of fragmentation of the Single Market, it should be for the Commission to identify these large companies operating in the Union. During the process of identification of large companies, the Commission should keep informed the Member State where the large company operates to be identified, this to ensure cooperation with national authorities.

(5) It is essential to strengthen the risk preparedness of the large companies that are identified by the Commission, it is essential that their obligations are strengthened, and therefore large companies should be required to ensure the traceability of strategic raw materials and to take due diligence measures to identify and mitigate their vulnerabilities, including by diversifying their raw material supply chain and by sourcing from a broader range of reliable partners and strategic partner countries, building on strengthened international partnerships for critical raw materials. Those vulnerabilities include long-term risks that outweigh short-term financial costs, such as disruptions to supply chains caused by civil unrest, which could to a certain extent be mitigated by taking into account impacts on local communities and the environment, including respect for the human rights of women, children and workers. The Commission should be able to receive the information regarding their compliance necessary for an effective monitoring and ensure they are prepared in case of supply disruption. The Commission should specify the mitigation measures that large companies should adopt in case of vulnerabilities, it should be able to do so by means of delegated acts. Where relevant, mitigation measures should be based on meaningful engagement with stakeholders, including with local communities, indigenous peoples and civil society organisations (CSOs), in order to enhance the long-term viability and sustainability of supply chains as well as to take into account economic conditions and development needs of partner countries.

(5) It is essential to strengthen the risk preparedness of the large companies that are identified by the Commission, it is essential that their obligations are strengthened, and therefore large companies should be required to take measures to mitigate their vulnerabilities, including by diversifying their raw material supply chain. The Commission should be able to receive the information regarding their compliance necessary for an effective monitoring and ensure they are prepared in case of supply disruption. The Commission should specify the mitigation measures that large companies should adopt in case of vulnerabilities, it should be able to do so by means of delegated acts.

(5a) To enhance the resilience of the Union’s supply of critical raw materials, the Commission should bring to the attention of large companies the potential benefits of strategic partnerships, relevant cooperation agreements, including bilateral agreements, and projects, including Global Gateway investment projects relating to critical raw materials in partner countries, with a view to supporting diversification and mitigating supply chain risks, while ensuring that those projects do not fuel conflicts and that negative impacts on the environment and communities are prevented or minimised, including in the permitting phase.

(5) It is essential to strengthen the risk preparedness of the large companies that are identified by the Commission, it is essential that their obligations are strengthened, and therefore large companies should be required to take measures to mitigate their vulnerabilities, including by assessing their possibilities to diversifying their raw material supply chain, improving their resource efficiency and using secondary or alternative materials. The Commission should be able to receive the information regarding their compliance necessary for an effective monitoring and ensure they are prepared in case of supply disruption. The Commission should specify the non-exhaustive list of mitigation measures that large companies should adopt in case of vulnerabilities, it should be able to do so by means of delegated acts.

Amendment 7

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 76

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(7) The Commission should continue to monitor the situation and the risk preparedness of large companies, ensuring their readiness in case of disruption of their supply chains. To that end, and when it decides so, the Commission can request information from large companies on their compliance and mitigation measures as required by this Regulation.

(6) Large companies should, as part of that risk assessment, map where the strategic raw materials they use are extracted, processed and recycled from, and analyse the factors that could affect their supply and assess their vulnerabilities to supply disruptions. In order to have a clear understanding of their vulnerabilities, they should also map the supply chain of the components containing critical raw materials. To reinforce their preparedness large companies should report on their risk assessment to the companies’ board of directors or management board.

(7) The Commission should continue to monitor the situation and the risk preparedness of large companies, ensuring their readiness in case of disruption of their supply chains. To that end, and when it decides so, the Commission can request information from large companies on their compliance and mitigation measures as required by this Regulation. Such requests should be proportionate and implemented in a manner that avoids unnecessary administrative burden, ensuring that the process remains clear, streamlined and manageable for the companies concerned.

(6) Large companies should, as part of that risk assessment, map where the strategic raw materials they use are extracted, processed and recycled from, in order to ensure traceability, and analyse the factors that could affect their supply and assess their vulnerabilities to supply disruptions taking into account the availability of data. Risk assessments should be based on conflict and environmentally sensitive analyses. In order to have a clear understanding of their vulnerabilities, they should also map the supply chain of the components containing critical raw materials. To reinforce their preparedness large companies should report on their risk assessment to the companies’ board of directors or management board.

Amendment 8

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 87

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8) The recognition of pre-consumer recycled materials complements, the recovery of post-consumer waste by ensuring that manufacturers can improve short-term resource efficiency while maintaining strong incentives to build and expand end-of-life collection and recycling systems. Additional product categories and pre-consumer waste are therefore essential to improve recycling, strengthen traceability and increase the availability of secondary materials thereby supporting the Union’s overall resource efficiency and security of supply.

(7) The Commission should continue to monitor the situation and the risk preparedness of large companies, ensuring their readiness in case of disruption of their supply chains. To that end, and when it decides so, the Commission can request information from large companies on their compliance and mitigation measures as required by this Regulation.

(8) The recovery, sorting and recycling of post-consumer waste is essential to retain valuable materials within the Union, reduce import dependencies and harness the Union’s circular economy potential. The recognition of manufacturing waste recycled materials may complement the recovery of post-consumer waste by ensuring that manufacturers can improve short-term resource efficiency and contributing to the development and expansion of recycling capacities. Therefore, extending labelling obligations to additional product categories containing permanent magnets and recognising manufacturing waste for products containing permanent magnets, can improve recycling, strengthen traceability and increase the availability of secondary materials thereby supporting the Union’s overall resource efficiency and security of supply.

(7) The Commission should continue to monitor the situation, and the risk preparedness of large companies, ensuring their readiness in case of disruption of their supply chains or when incurring irreversible damage to communities or the environment. To that end, and when it decides so, taking into consideration European Parliament resolutions, the Commission can request information from large companies on their compliance and mitigation measures as required by this Regulation.

Amendment 9

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8 a

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8a) In order to reduce the Union’s dependence on primary critical raw materials and strengthen circularity, the Commission should, when reviewing relevant Union legislation, propose differentiated recycling targets for individual critical raw materials, where technically feasible, instead of uniform targets, taking into account the availability, recyclability and economic viability of each material, as well as the need to ensure realistic collection and recovery rates. These differentiated recycling targets for individual critical raw materials should be streamlined throughout all the relevant Union legislation.
