The aim of this plan is to secure the European Union\u2019s access to critical Raw Materials by reducing its dependency on primary critical raw materials and strengthening domestic sourcing of raw materials in the EU to reduce its dependency on third countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the Action Plan on Critical Raw Materials, the European Commission outlines ten actions to achieve these ambitions, the first being the establishment a European Raw Materials Alliance. The European Raw Materials Alliance will bring together relevant stakeholders and will focus on building EU resilience and open strategic autonomy for the rare earths and magnets value chain, such as renewable energy, defence, and space, before extending to other raw material areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vice-President \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d and Commissioner Breton have also presented the <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/docsroom\/documents\/42849\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2020 List of Critical Raw Materials<\/a>.
