Sustainable Mining in the European Union (EU)

摘要：

Europe retains a modest position in world mining activity in terms of scale of production and mineral reserves but maintains a non-negligible role in the world mining industry.The concept of sustainable development resting on three pillars of economics,environment and social development has become an increasingly important factor in the European mining sector and a major influence on the related policies of the European Commission.Members of European mining industry shall conduct their activities according to the principles which promote sustainable development.A successful minerals planning policy should create the legal administrative environment that is necessary to ensure the sustainable supply of minerals to society within the framework of sustainable development.Members of the European mining industry shall conduct their activities according to principles which promote sustainable development.The challenge for sustainability is to find a balance between securing minerals supply,protecting the environment and achieving social progress.The point of balance depends on the range of policies adopted by governments. In this paper the development of the sustainability of the mining sector in EU and the social component of sustainability in the mineral industry is discussed.
