Press Release - Unions and employers call for a strong social dialogue and cohesive policies in the forthcoming Critical Raw Materials Act

The social partners (employers and workers) of the extractive industries call for widening the scope of the upcoming Critical Raw Material Act from critical to essential raw materials and renaming it to the “EU Raw Materials Act” (EU RMA) to reflect the wider scope.

IMA-Europe position on the IED Revision

📢 IMA-Europe, on the one hand, supports the IED revision’s focus on innovation and emerging techniques. On the other hand, the changes proposed in the use of emission ranges and the lack of transparency on the Transformation Plans will undermine the predictable regulatory framework necessary for fostering investments in R&D. In addition, the proposed scope enlargement jeopardizes turning the IED into a broad but inefficient policy, seeking pollutants reductions from sectors such as minerals extraction with already minimal emissions to air and water.

Industrial Minerals Association – Europe

IMA-Europe is an umbrella organisation which brings together a number of European associations specific to individual minerals as Calcium Carbonates (GCC/PCC), Dolomite, Andalusite, Betonite, Borates, Diatomite, Feldspar, Kaolin, Lime, Mica, Plastic Clays, Sepiolite, Silica, Talc, Vermiculite.

Together, IMA-Europe’s associations represent over 500 companies in 28 countries.

Do It Yourself Safely Without Dust

Occasional DIY activities are unlikely to expose people to significant dust levels for a sufficient period of time to have an adverse health effect. However, reducing dust as much as possible during DIY works is a sensible precaution. We hope that this very concise guidance drawn up by raw materials producers will help DIY stores better inform their customers. Read more
