Overview of the European mining sector contribution to the 7 EU Priorities:

• Ensure a full recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic
• Build the Union of tomorrow
• Global leadership in fighting climate change
• Shape our own digital solutions and establish Europe’s digital sovereignty
• Make our economy more resilient and robust
• Defend our common values and strengthen our democratic model 
• Strengthen the EU's role as a global actor

The more ambitious climate targets, the more metals and minerals needed for a clean energy transition. European mining companies and mining technology companies are essential for European value chains and thus crucial for overcoming post-pandemic global economic crisis.
