Meeting with Eurometaux

MINUTES 
Minutes of the meeting: 
Eurometaux supports due diligence legislation, but excessive burdens on companies have to 
be avoided and a level playing field on the European market needs to be assured.  Eurometaux 
also strongly supports the use of international instruments and standards in DD legislation in 
order to also guarantee an international level playing field. Furthermore, DD obligations have 
to apply to all, including SMEs. More important than the size of a company is its risk 
profile.  Eurometaux underlined the importance of coherence between the different DD 
initiatives at EU and national level. Voluntary industry initiatives companies are important. 
According to Eurometaux, the Commission should help improving the mining and production 
conditions and standards in the sourcing countries. The Commission recalled EU SME 
policies and informed about efforts to support source countries through cooperation 
programmes.
