Activities shall focus on improving the knowledge base on the availability of raw materials; promoting the sustainable and efficient supply, use and re-use of raw materials, including mineral resources, from land and sea; finding alternatives for critical raw materials; and improving societal awareness and skills on raw materials.

The following raw materials are to be examined within this review: the current list of 14 critical raw materials; selected “nearly critical raw materials”, such as rhenium and tellurium notably identified during the initial exercise; selected additional materials, such as hafnium, selenium and tin (as in line with new sources, such as the 2011 JRC Report[1] on “Critical Metals in strategic energy technologies”), wood and natural rubber that was added in the scope of the RMI by the Commission's 2011 Communication.

(b) in relation to derivatives on commodities, information of a precise nature, which has not been made public, relating, directly or indirectly, to one or more such derivatives or to the related spot commodity contract, and which, if it were made public, would be likely to have a significant effect on the prices of such derivatives or related spot commodity contracts; notably information which is required to be disclosed in accordance with legal or regulatory provisions at the Union or national level, market rules, contracts or customs, on the relevant commodity derivatives or spot markets.

(i) legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets, including: credit institutions, investment firms, other authorised or regulated financial institutions, insurance companies, collective investment schemes and their management companies, pension funds and their management companies, commodity dealers, as well as entities not so authorised or regulated whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in securities;

(3) those raw materials and their end uses should be defined; the raw materials and the end products that may be obtained from such materials should be limited in order to safeguard traditional markets without reducing the scope for identifying new outlets for such raw materials; a distinction should be made between those raw materials that can potentially be used for human or animal consumption and those which cannot; the cultivation of sugarbeet, Jerusalem artichokes or chicory roots on land set aside should not be ruled out; however, such crops cannot qualify for area payments in view of the risk of affecting the markets for sugar and cereals; care should nonetheless be taken to ensure that such crops comply with the rules governing ...[+++] the use of land set aside for the production of non-food products; in order to prevent any speculation and to ensure that the raw materials are processed into the intended end products, a security must be lodged even though no payment is made;
