- The role of EuroGeoSurveys’ Mineral Resources Expert Group in the European minerals contextPublication . de Oliveira, Daniel Pipa Soares; Stanley, G.; Schiellerup, Henrik; Pfleiderer, Sebastian; Solar, Slavko; Ponce Leao, Maria Teresa; Arvanitidis, NikolaosABSTRACT: Europe shows an inevitably growing and accelerating consumption of mineral commodities and the high import dependence of strategic and critical raw materials has a serious impact on the sustainability of the EU manufacturing industry. The European Commission has long recognized the challenge of sustainable supply of mineral raw materials and steps are implemented to try to deal with this. In this context, EuroGeoSurveys and its Mineral Resources Expert Group (MREG) serve as one of the contact points for the Commission. The MREG is a group of earth scientists, experts in Economic Geology that act under the umbrella body of EuroGeoSurveys. The group acts upon requests and queries received by member states and the European Commission and provides the best available mineral expertise and information based on the knowledge of member Geological Surveys, for policy, communication, public awareness and education purposes at European level.
