European Union Raw Materials Knowledge Base (EURMKB)

The main objectives of the knowledge base are

# Data - the EURMKB will provide EU level data and information on raw materials from different sources in a harmonised and standardised way;

# New activities – it will encourage activities in the raw materials sector such as exploration, extraction, processing, and recycling, as well as trade, development, skills, and education;

# Increased supply – the base will increase the supply of raw materials, as well as strengthen Europe’s position on the forefront of the raw materials sector.
