Euractiv · European Union · EU Critical Raw Materials Act's second strategic project list adds 47 projects across lithium, nickel, cobalt and rare earths; first permits processed in 24 months
Policy analysis of the second CRMA selection: notes that the 24-month permitting commitment is a legal obligation on member states but lacks enforcement mechanism if individual national permitting authorities delay; documents that the first-list projects (47 projects selected July 2024) have seen 12 of 47 receive initial permits within the statutory window, with 35 still pending; questions whether the second list will improve the implementation rate.
