Council of the EU CRMA page updated summarizing Council position adopted 4 March 2026; confirms REEs as strategic raw materials and references magnet-related obligations context

The Council of the EU’s CRMA infographic/page (covering strategic/critical raw materials, explicitly including light and heavy rare earth elements) includes an update stating a Council position was adopted on 4 March 2026 supporting proposed changes tied to security of supply and circularity, with references to provisions relevant to permanent magnets and related information obligations (e.g., product information/product passport concepts). This is not an official journal publication of an implementing act, but it is an official institutional update that can affect compliance planning by signaling the EU’s legislative/implementation direction for REE-related supply-chain and downstream product information requirements.
