The European Federation of Geologists (EFG) strongly supports the European Commission’s recent announcement of 47 strategic projects selected under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). These projects represent a major step toward improving Europe’s access to essential raw materials like lithium, nickel, and graphite—key to the green and digital transitions.

In the accompanying press release, EFG highlights the crucial role of geologists in securing a responsible and transparent supply of raw materials, and calls for greater public access to project data based on international mining standards.
