How positions are measured

One poleWe must prioritize environmental sustainability in sourcing critical raw materials by enforcing strict regulations on extraction and minimizing ecological damage. The long-term health of the planet and responsible resource management should come before short-term economic gains.
Other poleThe focus should be on boosting the economy by ensuring fast and unrestricted access to critical raw materials. Streamlining regulations and maximizing extraction will secure Europe's industrial competitiveness and energy independence, even if it means accepting some environmental trade-offs.
