EU Parliament adopted the Regulation about "conflict minerals"

After two and a half years of debate, the European Parliament on March 16, 2017 definitively adopted the new Regulation on mineral imports from conflict zones, which will come into force in 2021.

The official webpage of the European Commission on 'combatting conflict minerals' provides more information about the topic. Furthermore, Euroactiv - a French press network - published an interesting article analysing the main outcomes and features of the adopted law.
