12 green NGOs write to the Commission and the Swedish Presidency of the EU, calling on them to use the Critical Raw Materials Act to ensure that the sourcing of these minerals does not replace one bad dependency with another.
Transport & Environment, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, WWF, Friends of the Earth, European Environmental Bureau, Birdlife Europe, and big German and Spanish NGOs Deutsche Umwelthilfe and Ecologistas en Acción call for the CRM Act to do 3 things:
Recycled steel targets will help clean up car production, strengthen Europe's domestic industry and reduce our dependence on imports.
Drivers of high fronted cars are unable to see children as old as nine, tests find.
Without action, carmakers are set to continue increasing bonnet height and car width – with significant negative consequences for safety.
