The metals ecosystem is pivotal to Europe's industrial base and plays a critical role in enabling the twin green and digital transitions. Non-ferrous metals from the base ones (aluminium, copper, lead, nickel, tin, zinc) through technology metals (e.g. cobalt, lithium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, bismuth) to precious metals (e.g.

As Eurometaux, the non-ferrous metals industry association, we support the EU taxonomy's goal to channel investments towards sustainable economic activities and support economic sectors in their transition. If well designed, the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU/2020/852) can incentivize financial flows towards activities aligned with climate and environmental objectives, provided that the criteria are fit for purpose and…

The EU non-ferrous metals industry, delivering materials for many low-carbon applications needed for the green and digital transitions, sees the proposed directive as a tool paving the way for better-informed choices of consumers on the products available on the EU single market.

Eurometaux, the European non-ferrous metals industry, has been actively engaged in the European Commission’s Environmental Footprint (EF) project and has developed, during the EF Pilot Phase, the ‘Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) for Metal Sheets in Various Applications’. Currently, we are also an active stakeholder in the so called Environmental Footprint Transition Phase (2018 – 2021).

Eurometaux welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback the proposed Basic Regulation for the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). We acknowledge the significance of this legislative initiative, considering ECHAs evolving mandate that has expanded well beyond REACH to encompass more broadly chemicals management and areas such as batteries, waste, RoHS, POPs, and cross-border threats.

Dear Madam, Dear Sir, Many thanks for providing the possibility to participate to the Call for Evidence for the proposal for ECHA's basic regulation. Please find attached Eurometaux's contribution. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any clarification.

As Eurometaux, the European non-ferrous metals industry association, we support the goal to improve circularity for metals and Critical Raw Materials (CRM) in particular. Our sector provides many of the critical raw materials that enable the EU green and digital transitions and are also important for strengthening its security and defence.

This answer provides the position of the non-ferrous metals industry on the draft text of the revised Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842 as regards further arrangements for the adjustments to free allocation of emission allowances due to activity level changes (ALC Regulation) (see pdf attached).
