The EU is looking to diversify its supply chains, making them less China-dependent by aiming to ensure that by 2030 is isn't reliant on any one country for more than 65% of any strategic raw material, such as nickel or lithium.
Additionally, there are also targets to increase the extraction, processing and recycling five critical minerals, although environmentalists fear that this might see a relaxation of environmental protections on mining, especially in countries such as Finland.
