Decision
The plenary heard the report A9-0260/2023 under procedure 2023/0079(COD), introduced by rapporteur Nicola Beer, and debated contributions from MEPs including committee rapporteurs and a Commission representative. The debate closed and a vote on the matter is recorded in the minutes of 14/09/2023, item 7.5.
What Changes
The report concerns a proposal for a regulation establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials and for amending Regulations (EU) No 168/2013, (EU) 2018/858, (EU) 2018/1724 and (EU) 2019/1020.
