Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Commission and the European Raw Materials Alliance to prioritise CRM extraction from existing mines and waste dumps over new mining; requests that the Commission assess whether current due diligence and environment rules are sufficient to guarantee minimal environmental impact of potential new mining projects in the EU, while at the same time ensuring that the environmental impact is assessed in relation to the socio-economic impact on mining regions and communities, guaranteeing the transparent and inclusive participation of those communities in the decisions and actions taken throughout the lifecycle of the mining projects;

Draft opinion
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Believes that mining should be forbidden in nature conservation areas and that ecological restoration programmes for historical contaminated mining sites need to be realistic and gradual, focusing on the assessment of post-closure land use and the immediate implementation of socio-economic recovery programmes for mine closure areas in order to achieve short and long-term ecological and socioeconomic stability for those regions; calls on the Commission to evaluate legislative options to ensure that local communities are fully involved in the permit procedures for new industrial and new mining projects and that there are sufficient funds to ensure reskilling of the labour force, job creation and social stability in mine closure areas.
