Framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
This file establishes a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials. Under the ordinary legislative procedure, Parliament and the Council of the EU decide together and the outcome is binding EU law. Seven committees, led by Industry, Research and Energy alongside Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, worked on it under raw materials and sustainable development. The tabled amendments set lists of strategic and critical raw materials, adjust indicative benchmarks for extraction, processing and recycling, address dependence on a single third country, raise shortages of skilled workers and geoscientists, and add provisions on secondary raw materials, circularity and third-country partnerships via the European Critical Raw Materials Board. It shares subjects such as raw materials with related files including Amendments to the Critical Raw Materials Act.

Plenary votes
9 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
