A new publication by TELF AG explores the potential impact of European bureaucracy on the region's strategic objectives in raw materials and decarbonization. The publication highlights that bureaucratic delays in many European countries could hinder Europe's progress towards a greener and sustainable future, specifically in reducing dependence on critical raw material imports. The European Union's strategic objectives, including decarbonization and the development of a thriving mining sector, are interconnected and reliant on crucial raw materials. However, the bureaucratic processes associated with mining in Europe can take up to twenty years to obtain the necessary authorizations, compared to just three months in China. This delay could hinder Europe's ability to achieve substantial autonomy in raw material supplies. Alternative solutions, such as the recovery of raw materials from waste, may need to be explored. To gain more insights, readers are encouraged to access the full publication. TELF AG is an international physical commodities trader with 30 years of experience, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland. The company partners with producers to provide marketing, financing, and logistics solutions.
A brand-new TELF AG publication focuses on one of the possible elements that could stand between Europe and its desire to achieve some of its main strategic objectives, in particular those related to raw materials and decarbonization.
Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland - November 1, 2023 —

Entitled "TELF AG analyzes the weight of European bureaucracy in the mining sector", the publication explains that one of these obstacles could be represented by the bureaucratic delays that still characterize many European states today, and which in the coming years could seriously slow down - if not completely compromise - the European advance towards a greener and more sustainable future, and in which the dependence on the supply of critical raw materials is much less massive than now.
TELF AG's publication begins with the statement of some of the strategic objectives of the European Union: we are not only talking about the generic ones that concern the fight against climate change or respect for natural ecosystems but also the much more specific ones such as decarbonization, the reduction of carbon emissions and the development of a thriving European mining sector, in order to reduce the huge imports of raw materials from third countries.
These themes are intimately connected because some raw materials are of fundamental importance for the European (and global) advancement towards a world dominated by clean energy, and these same resources, therefore, play a crucial role in achieving at least two of the strategic objectives set by the community institutions.
The problem is that the bureaucracy behind European mining processes could represent a serious obstacle to the rapid achievement of these goals and that, ultimately, these same problems could impact the progress of the ecological transition. In the text, for example, we read that to obtain all the necessary authorizations for the start of extraction processes within a new mining site in Europe, it could take almost twenty years, while in China, the same procedure is carried out within three months. At these rates, Europe would never be able to develop a mining force capable of guaranteeing substantial autonomy in supplies, so it may be necessary to explore other possible ways to satisfy the demand for raw materials: one of this is the recovery of raw materials found in waste.
