Europe and Rare Earths: Dependable Diplomacy or Strategic Scarcity?
08/07/2011
Author : Madariaga College of Europe Foundation
By Daniel Fiott - Madariaga Paper - Vol. 4, No. 9, (Jul., 2011)
 

China produces more than 90% of global rare earth minerals, all with crucial applications in the European economy. Recent export cuts by China in these minerals have raised a number of trade-related, economic and strategic concerns. Analysing the problem, this paper asks what the EU’s response to the problem has been so far; would pursuit of China’s export cuts through the World Trade Organisation yield any meaningful results; what longer-term measures can the EU adopt in order to ease future rare earth restrictions; and, what obstacles stand in the way of such measures being realised.

China knows that Europe needs these rare earth minerals & their cutting the supply because of vested interests. China is really a bully.
