(8a) Securing reliable and unhindered access to raw materials is crucial to the European Union’s economy and essential to maintaining and improving quality of life, industry and employment. The European Commission has created a list of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) in order to identify raw materials with a high supply-risk and a high economic importance to the Union, and secure their reliable and unhindered access. The European Commission added phosphate rock to this list in 2014. The Regulation shall take this into account when taking measures entailing restrictions on use of these materials.
