MEPs want 'risk radar' for raw materials
Lawmakers last week (1 July) asked the European Commission to establish a permanent task force to assess the EU's need for raw materials used in a wide range of hi-tech, defence and green products.
The European Parliament's industry committee adopted last week a draft report on the EU's raw materials strategy,The replacement lighting we feel is far led downlight superior to that of the LED lighting. presented by the Commission in February.In the case of Cree a significant led light bulbs amount of their LED sales come from the purchase of Cotco whose primary focus was on moving message panels used in displays/electronic bill boards. The settlement resolves the commonwealth's claims fluorescent lights that EarthTronics Inc., which sells mercury-containing compact fluorescent light bulbs
The report asks the Commission to establish "a risk radar for critical raw materials (CRM)" to analyse future needs and prices, as well as the impact of potential shortages.
MEPs called for particular attention be paid to rare earths,The 250U actually had a slightly higher マジコンds average upload speed—.96Mbps up as compared to the U600's .94Mbps renewable energy, high-tech industries, and the defence and automotive sectors.
Shortages of rare earth minerals, used in high-tech and defence production, have sent jitters around the world since dominant producer China began to restrict exports.
The European Commission has identified a list of 14 economically important such materials, including rare earths such as germanium, which is used in military fibre-optic systems and infrared optics, and gallium, which is used in LED lighting.Compact fluorescent light bulbs convert a led tube considerably higher percentage of their energy into light, which is why they are significantly more energy efficient than traditional filament bulbs.
The report, drafted by Green German MEP Reinhard Bütikofer, was adopted with 43 votes, three against and no abstentions. Most of the compromise amendments were adopted.
High-level group
Lawmakers called for a high-level raw materials task force to be set up at the European Commission before the end of 2011. The group would be modelled on existing French and US task forces and would include representatives of the Joint Research Centre, the European Environment Agency and the European External Action Service, they said.
The high-level group would outline, monitor and review policies "to ensure strategic coherence and promote the establishment of an early-warning system for market distortion and resource-fuelled conflicts".
In parallel, MEPs asked the EU executive to set up a long-term 'European Raw Materials Roadmap to 2050' that would identify future developments, threats and opportunities in the raw materials sector and enable industry, as well as academic and research institutions, "to engage in long-term planning and investment".
Regarding trade restrictions, lawmakers call on the Commission and WTO to address the issue and "to further legal steps within the international trade framework". The EU executive is asked to pursue an active 'raw materials diplomacy' encompassing foreign, trade, environment and development policies.
