The mere fact that the Commission intends to publish its legislative proposal in the first quarter of 2023 and the final legal act is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2024 shows that this is the right time, <strong>that this issue is a high priority in Brussels<\/strong> and urgently needs to be addressed,\u201c said <a href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/tag\/bde\/\">BDE<\/a>-President Peter Kurth on Thursday.<\/p><p>The BDE shares the Commission's view that the central aim of such a regulation must be to safeguard Europe as an industrial location. <strong>The Member States of the European Union must under no circumstances become dependent on the supply of raw materials in the same way as they have become dependent on the supply of oil and gas<\/strong>. What's more, the European Union's supply of critical raw materials must be reliably secured in the long term.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-1588800483\"><div id=\"packa-3178764394\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e34a8c2 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e34a8c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Need for \"harmonised rules\"<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95f9743 exad-sticky-section-no exad-glass-effect-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95f9743\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In order to achieve this, two fundamental prerequisites are necessary. Firstly, a binding and directly applicable legal framework must be created, which requires a regulation. As this issue is of crucial importance for the entire European Union and there is an urgent need to act quickly, <strong>harmonised rules are needed that apply to all Member States<\/strong>. In addition, a comprehensive <strong>De-bureaucratisation of all processes<\/strong> <strong>along the entire value chain<\/strong>, related to the extraction and recycling of critical raw materials.
