DG GROW and JRC publish methodology for establishing the EU list of critical raw materials

The guidelines describe a ‘ready-to-apply’ methodology for the EU criticality assessment and the revision of the list of critical raw materials (CRM) for the EU.

These synthesised guidelines build on the methodology used to establish the lists of CRM in 2011 and 2014. They also integrate the methodological improvements identified by the European Commission in the project ‘Assessment of the methodology on the list of critical raw materials’, in close consultation with the ad hoc working group ‘Defining critical raw materials’.
