EU: Parliament votes to strengthen FPIC principles in CRMA but misses other opportunities to expand their rights

"Critical Raw Materials Regulation Vote Leaves Mixed Feelings", 14 Sep 2023

In a decisive session that unfolded today, MEPs cast their votes on a series of crucial amendments, shaping the path for the EU’s strategy concerning Critical Raw Materials (CRMs). While there were triumphs, notably the approval of the vital FPIC Amendment 11, the results of the vote bring a mix of happiness and disappointment for those pushing for a fair and green approach to raw materials.

The passing of Amendment 11 stands as the day’s highlight, paving the way for a firmer inclusion of FPIC principles in the CRMA, a beacon for protecting the rights of Indigenous people in the planning of important projects.
