EU Legal framework

EU policy framework: Raw Materials Initiative and other
related policies

EU legal framework: TFEU, relevant conventions, EU
Internal Market, Environmental, Nature Conservation,
Water, Emissions, Extractive Waste, Chemical Safety,
Occupational Health and Safety Directives.

The legal framework in MSs is heterogeneous, but there
are some similarities:

e AIIMSs have a principal mining act,

«e defining the mineral ownership, providing permitting provisions and

deadlines (legal timeframes).
