S wants EU-wide price guarantee for Swedish mining minerals

- It's about investments that require a lot of capital, says Sofie Eriksson, one of the party's EU parliamentarians, at a press conference with S's energy policy spokesperson Fredrik Olovsson.

The dependence on China, in particular for access to rare earth minerals and for battery manufacturing, is high. A guaranteed minimum price, in the form of so-called CFD contracts financed by the EU, would increase the willingness to invest in Europe and thereby reduce dependence, according to S.

S also wants the government to work towards the EU establishing a minerals authority in Sweden.
