MUNICIPALITIES LACK VETO RIGHTS FOR MINES

Already today, many potential mining areas are classified as of national interest for mineral extraction. But the Swedish Environmental Code does not take climate considerations into account. The EU now wants to push member states to prioritise mines for more than 30 minerals that are crucial for the green transition.

Today, the EU uses 25 percent of the world's natural resources, but only 2-3 percent is mined. By 2030, mining will increase to 10 percent according to the EU regulation.

Among other things, it is about becoming more independent of China, which today dominates the world market

Municipalities do not currently have the right of veto for mines. Questions about the establishment are handled by the Mining Inspectorate, the Land and Environment Courts and ultimately the Government.
