Research and innovation for sustainable batteries (factsheet)
The new Commission proposal on sustainability requirements for batteries 
in the EU will modernise the EU legislative framework in order to fulfil 
three objectives: strengthen the competitiveness of the EU internal 
battery market, increase the resilience of the EU battery supply chain
