This conference will particularly focus on the role of innovation in efforts to boost production and sustainability across the Raw Materials Value Chain.

The conference will adress the following issues:

• how can Europe’s own extractive industries help to reduce its import dependency, and what further steps can be taken to ensure the efficient use of materials already within circulation?
• what measures should be put in place in order to make the global trade of Raw Materials fairer and more sustainable?
• how can Europe take a more pro-active stance in international dialogue on the future security of these valuable resources?

Janez Potočnik, European Commissioner for Environment, will participate in the conference.
