Gentlemen, it is all falling into place. CRMA is now a legislated requirement, EU is now needing to announce strategic projects and assign 'Single Point of Contact' for administration of the strategic projects.
"The bloc will work with EU members to identify strategic projects that will benefit from shorter and more efficient permitting procedures and easier access to finance, he added."

Cinovec Lithium Project is in the prime position as one of the most obvious projects to benefit from the new grants, permitting and financing arrangements as associated with the recent CRMA legislation.
What is even better it also gives EU an opportunity to point at Cinovec project as say "EU is effectively managing raw materials supply and green transition process".
