Europa trebuie să își facă rezerve de materii prime critice, spune cancelarul german Friedrich Merz

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized the need for Europe to build reserves of critical raw materials to reduce dependency on dominant extraction countries. He highlighted the importance of these materials for future technologies such as batteries and semiconductors. Merz proposed that the state should diversify supply sources, enhance recycling, and establish strategic reserves at the European level. The EU currently relies heavily on China for critical minerals and components essential for various industries.
