Abstract

The ecological transition requires large quantities of critical raw materials (CRM) but their supply is concentrated geographically and the principal extractive companies are mainly controlled by players from outside the European Union. This dependence on imports exposes the EU to major geopolitical risks and forces it to secure its supplies. La transition écologique nécessite d’importantes quantités de matières premières critiques, mais leur offre est géographiquement concentrée et les grandes entreprises extractives sont principalement contrôlées par des acteurs extérieurs à l’Union européenne. Cette dépendance vis-à-vis des importations expose l’UE à des risques géopolitiques forts et la pousse à sécuriser ses approvisionnements.
