据英国《金融时报》8月22日报道，欧洲官员和业界警告称，随着西方寻求抗衡中国主导地位，欧盟在保障关键矿产方面的竞赛中可能进一步落后于美国。过去两年，美国大力投资以确保获得稀土金属和其他用于战略技术的材料。    Days after Jr NTR moved Delhi High Court over protecting his personality rights on various online platforms, actor-politician Pawan Kalyan too approached the court. Also being the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan filed a personality rights suit in the Delhi High Court. He alleged that various platforms and e-commerce sites on social media have been using his name, photos and identity without his permission for commercial use.          The Delhi High Court responds…     Misuse of identity on social media platforms has become a menace to the celebs. Pawan Kalyan felt the need and right to control his name and identity, and the exploitation of his personality rights. After he filed a suit, the Delhi High Court responded positively. Acknowledging his right to control his name against unauthorized use of apps, merchandise, it had asked Pawan to submit details of the infringing links within two days. Intermediaries have also been instructed to take necessary action within a week. The next hearing on the case is scheduled on December 22. Such rights under Article 19 (Freedom of Speech/Expression) and Article 21 (Right to Life/Dignity) of the Indian Constitution protects and establishes individual identity as valuable property and links them to Privacy & Free Speech. It further boosts celeb publicity rights as protection against misuse.          Several celebs followed suit     Pawan Kalyan is one of the biggest stars in Tollywood. Apart from being a politician, his flexis, cutouts, standees and photos are being used in various online platforms for commercial purposes. His team has brought this to the actor’s notice, recently.

B | 自2022年以来，华盛顿已宣布为矿产项目提供约400亿美元的临时资金，并持有多家国内矿企的股权。美国政府还游说支持美国公司在刚果民主共和国和肯尼亚等国的矿山招标中中标。

C | 过去18个月，布鲁塞尔已选定数十个战略项目。今年，欧盟及成员国已承诺向矿产项目投入约60亿欧元。但业界警告称，欧盟推进速度过慢。“我真的很佩服美国人，因为他们有了想法就立即行动，而我们欧洲人则犹豫不决、过度行政、空谈并浪费时间。

D | ”代表欧盟关键矿产行业的EIT RawMaterials首席执行官伯恩德·谢弗表示。

E | 与此同时，美国还寻求建立一个可合作构建绕过中国的供应链的国家联盟。但由于特朗普领导下的美国政府对欧盟采取对抗态度，这一举措在布鲁塞尔引发了怀疑。一名欧盟官员表示，欧盟“不能被与美国的谈判所愚弄”，“我们需要做美国正在做的事——购买包销协议、快速行动，并使用金融工具”来构建关键矿产供应链，以迎接今年秋季即将公布的新战略。该官员还称，欧盟正研究与加拿大、日本等国合作，但不排除与美国进一步合作的可能性。一名前官员在谈到美方倡议时表示，特朗普治下的美国“在整个领域都反复无常、不可预测”。谢弗还说，在稀土金属依赖方面，存在美国“成为欧洲的第二个中国”的风险。

EIT RawMaterials首席执行官伯恩德·谢弗这并非谢弗首次提出这一观点。去年12月，他就曾提醒说，欧盟需要小心的不只有中国，还有美国。

F | “这无疑是从雄心到实施的真正转变，但仍有所不足，”谢弗当时告诉路透社，欧盟需要加紧与可供应关键矿物的第三国谈判。他补充说：“近年来，我们与国际伙伴签署了许多谅解备忘录，但这只是起点。我们必须变得更像交易撮合者，摆脱平淡的态度，不只是空谈一切。

G | ”他还表示，欧洲需要确保不再继续将关键稀土资产流失给美国。稀土被誉为“工业维生素”，是先进武器装备、航空航天部件、风力发电、新能源汽车、机器人及智能制造等战略性产业的关键原材料支撑。过去30年里，中国在稀土开采和提炼方面始终具有主导力。据国际能源署数据，2023年中国占全球稀土矿产量的超60%，但其对加工阶段的控制却占全球产量的92%，在全球稀土加工领域几乎拥有垄断性的控制权。欧洲媒体指出，对美欧来说，减少对华依赖是一个艰巨任务，因为中方已在稀土领域建立“事实垄断”。《金融时报》提及，今年2月，欧洲审计院警告称，尽管布鲁塞尔已选定75个战略项目以享受简化审批规则和获得投资的机会，但许多项目“不太可能”及时交付。

H | 一名矿业高管表示，欧盟的矿产努力“在财务支持方面总体相当令人失望”，获取许可仍然复杂。
