Today’s vote on the #CRM Act sends the @Europarl_EN into negotiations with a strong mandate. The vote in favour of the @EPPGroup’s amendment to include #aluminium is a decisive signal. The Council must now stand ready to support. #AnnaMichelleMEP

The #CriticalRawMaterials Act is about ensuring that we have the means to reach #NetZero. But leaving out #Aluminium makes #ZeroSense. The @Europarl_EN must fix that. Read why @EURACTIV

With the right scope, scale & ambition, #CriticalRawMaterials & #NetZeroIndustry Acts can simultaneously reinforce 🇪🇺 climate leadership & strengthen our strategic autonomy. #aluminium widely recognised role in green transition should be brought into scope https://t.co/727PRgvO5B

Interesting discussion today on #ESPR at the @Europarl_EN, a key file in accelerating the shift to #circulareconomy. Thanks, @MariaSpyraki, for leading the debate. It's encouraging to see that the work in the parliament is advancing. Great job @CEPI_Paper, in organising it!

A level playing field & clearly defined equivalent conditions for EXTRA-EU waste shipment🚢are vital for sustainably supplying #EUGreenDeal
@EP_Environment #WSR report is key to enhancing the recovery of valuable secondary raw materials from waste. Congratulations @WeissPernille!

The Green Deal Industrial Plan announced by @vonderleyen can reverse the current deindustrialisation trend #EU faces. It is time to provide effective measures to incentivise 🇪🇺 industries - key to achieving EU #NetZero ambitions - to keep operating in 🇪🇺 & compete globally ⏬

#Greece is one of Europe’s biggest Aluminium producers. But, in global terms, the #EU has fallen behind. The EU imports 47% of its primary aluminium. @EU_Aluminium is calling for this figure to fall to 25%. I agree & the #CRM act must help us to get there. #AnnaMichelleMEP

📢@peterhandley3 from @EU_Growth on #strategicautonomy: The goal of the upcoming @EU_Commission #CRM Act is not complete independence, but the EU should aim to supply at least 30% of its needs.

LIVE NOW: @AnnaAsimakopoul: #Aluminium isn't on the CRM list but there is a very strong for it to be front & centre in the #CRM Act. Why? 👉Supply diversification needed to limit dependence on China🇨🇳 👉Growing demand due to twin transition 👉Lack of global level playing field

@EURACTIV @PaulVossEHP @peterhandley3 @AnnaAsimakopoul @juliepolie @EU_Commission @FredSimonEU @PaulVossEHP on why #aluminium is #StrategicRawMaterial: There is no clean energy transition without aluminium! ➡️European aluminium demand for clean tech will rise from 14 m. tonnes in 2020 to 21 m. in 2050📈with #EVs,☀️power, and electricity networks as main drivers.

High #energy prices &disrupted raw material supply chains massively threaten #competitiveness of the European Industry.We need urgent measures to decrease energy costs, but a #EUCriticalRawMaterialsAct can give a mid &long term perspective #Metals #Aluminium #EUIndustryStrategy
