Description
Organised by: IPIS, PAX, EurAc
The European Union Regulation on the responsible supply of tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (3TG) from conflict-affected and high-risk areas (2017/821) entered into force on January 1, 2021. In anticipation of the official review of the 3TG Regulation later this year, this session will reflect on the experiences and insights gained during the implementation so far. Presentations will focus on the original objectives of the Regulation, namely breaking the link between conflict and mineral extraction and contribute to socio-economic development at an upstream level. Has the Regulation contributed to these key objectives? What is needed to achieve these objectives in the future, for the EU 3TG Regulation but also for the relevant upcoming EU Regulations?
