  10. Minerals Policy in Europe: Some recent developments (G.Tiess) RP, Volume 35, September 2010, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03014207 ABSTRACT The importance of a secured supply of raw materials for the European economy is evident. However, securing the supply of raw materials based on an appropriate EU minerals policy has been scarcely treated by the decision-makers in the last decades. Solely the impact of price development of international commodity markets in the last years induces a re-thinking of this field. The EU Raw Materials Initiative, which was published by the European Commission in November 2008, establishes an EU raw materials strategy including a list of actions. Resource Policy

  11. Legal Basics of Mineral Policy in Europe

  12. http://www.springer.com/law/book/978-3-211-89002-8 All IUR-countries included Abstract Mineral resources are an essential social and economic basis. The importance of a European mineral resources policy is demonstrated by the latest developments in the international commodity markets. The legal framework for mining activities is vital for the realization of a mineral resources policy. Efficient legislative provisions and their implementation are crucial in ensuring both a competitive mining industry and environmental protection. This book discusses the legal frameworks of 40 European countries, especially the countries of south-east Europe, which possess an enormous wealth of deposits. This reference book provides information on European legislation relevant to mineral resources and an overview of approaches to mineral resources policy, as well as comparing the existing instruments of such policies in various European countries. This book is especially well-suited to the needs of investors, entrepreneurs, politicians and civil servants. Legal Basics of Mineral Policy in Europe

  13. General and International Mineral Policy

  14. http://www.springer.com/law/book/978-3-211-89004-2 Including short overview of economical data and policies (including nearly all IUR-countries) Abstract The demand for mineral resources (iron ore, cement, etc.) has increased substantially in recent years, a development which can be traced back to the economic growth of heavily populated newly industrializing countries. More than fifty percent of the total world population is now interested in the same resources. This change of structure has caused enormous price increases on international commodity markets. In Europe this process can also be noticed in shortages of some mineral resources. National mineral resources policies play a decisive role here, and developing special policies is vital to creating a mineral resources strategy and ensuring a competitive mining industry. This book discusses the mineral resources policies and strategies of important mineral resources importing and exporting countries, examines the status quo of European mineral resources policy and puts forward proposals for the implementation of such a policy for discussion.

  15. Mineral Planning Policies, 2004 - EU-RMI http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/raw-materials/documents/index_en.htm UEPG-report 2010, EU-RMI http://www.sarmaproject.eu/index.php?id=1564&tx_ttnews[pointer]=2&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=411&tx_ttnews[backPid]=1548&cHash=34d8183710 Sustainable Minerals and Energy Supply of Indonesia, 2010-2012 Close cooperation with Indonesian Government, PhD - research SARMa-project, 2009-2011 EU-project: Sustainable Aggregates Resources Management– FOCUS of presentation Research - projects

  16. Research - projects • EU RMI 2010 • UEPG Report „Planning Policies and Permitting Procedures to Ensure the Sustainable Supply of Aggregates in Europe“ • Commissioned by UEPG • Finished in May 2010 • Structure of report • Background • Current and future Aggregates Demand and Supply in Europe • Summary of Minerals (Aggregates) Planning Policies • Summary of Permitting Systems • Report Conclusions and Recommendations

  17. Sustainable Aggregates Resource Management in South-East-Europe (SARMa) The first EU project on Aggregates

  18. Overview of the EU-project “Sustainable Aggregates Resources Management” 2009-2011 (SARMa). Project objectives Methodical approach Summarizing and Outlook SARMa-project

  19. Aggregates - basis of infrastructural development. > 3 billion tonnes of sand, gravel and crushed stone with a value > 35 billions € are produced annually in Europe to meet the demands of building and construction industry. Construction sector is predicted to grow, especially in new EU-members (4, 2 % per year). Secured supply of raw materials for the industry and therefore the importance of sustainable aggregates resource management is evident. Relevance of aggregates

  22. A group of experts South East Europe (SEE) decided to explore sustainable aggregate management in the framework of the South East European (SEE) TransnationalProgramme 2007 – 2013 of the EU (http://www.southeast-europe.net/en/). project proposal procedure: 2 stages. proposal approved in spring 2009 from over 800 proposals SARMa was ranked as 15th Project duration: 2,5 years. Project partnership: 15 partners and 8 observers. authorities, universities, geological survey, chamber of commerce etc EU members (Austria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Romania) and non-EU members (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia). Project budget is approximately 1,9 Mio. €. Need of research

  23. Focus of the project is related to sustainable aggregate resource management (SARM), Efficient, low socio-environmental impact quarrying and efficient waste management. sustainable supply mix (SSM) policies and practices. SSM uses multiple sources, including recycled wastes that together maximize net benefits of aggregate supply. Development of a common approach to SARM and SSM to ensure efficient management and secure supply in SEE area. Increasing transfer of know-how, and supporting capacity building in firms, government and civil society. Project objectives

  24. Project area and meetings • Kick-off meeting (Bologna, IT) - June 2009. • The 2nd (Split, HR) and 3rd (Bucharest, RO) project meeting -outcomes of WP3. • The 4th project meeting (Pella, GR) will include transnational events on WP4 and WP5 topics. • The last project meeting in Ljubljana (SI) will coincide with final EU conference on SARM.

  25. Project partners aim to achieve objectives through work packages (WP): WP1: project management WP-leader: Geological Survey, Slovenia WP2: project dissemination WP-leader: Technical University of Crete, Greece WP3: activities at local scale WP3 leader: Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration, Greece. WP4: regional/national activities WP4 leader: Hungarian Office for Mining and Geology WP5: transnational activities will start 2010. WP5 leader: University of Austria, Austria Methodical approach

  26. WP3 aims to fulfill project objectives on local scale focused on improving resource efficiency. Decreasing environmental and social impacts of quarrying and improving reclamation; Reducing illegal quarrying, and Increasing recycling. WP3 provides technical information for WP4+WP5. WP3 – local level

  27. Creation of a framework for sustainable aggregates resource management. Development of regional/national approaches to implementing SARM. Relevant regional/national legislation, procedures will be studied. . WP4 - Regional and National Level Activities

  28. WP5 addresses transnational aspects, i.e. possibilities for harmonizing policies related to 1) sustainable aggregates management 2) secure supply 3) establishment of a Regional Centre for SARM and SSM in South-East-Europe. WP5 - Transnational Level Activities

  29. Local level: More efficient aggregate extraction to maximize net benefits and achieve sustainable quarry life-cycle, Fewer illegal quarries, Increased demolition waste recycling. Regional/national level: More policies and legislation that incorporate principles of SARM, More consistent management of aggregates across SEE-nations, More nations creating maps and databases of aggregates & transportation patterns Transnational level: Increased capacity through knowledge transfer; Greater policy coordination on SARM among SEE-nations, Continuing partnership among project members representing ministries, regional authorities, chambers of commerce and industry. Expected results

  30. Expected results of SARMa-project are applicable across South East Europe area, enabling countries to implement harmonized approaches, thus increasing long term cooperation. Results will be applicable beyond SEE area, and will continue to be transferable via the manuals that describe best practices. Further step: North-West-Europe Project progress can be observed on www.sarmaproject.eu. SARMa: expected results
