欧盟将对澳大利亚的锂和稀土项目进行投资,以减少对中国的依赖并保障关键矿物的安全。 The EU will invest in Australian lithium and rare earth projects to cut reliance on China and secure critical minerals.

欧盟计划在包括锂和稀土在内的澳大利亚重要矿物项目中直接股权,以确保稳定供应,减少对中国等国家的依赖,欧盟贸易专员Maros Sefcovic在墨尔本说。 The EU plans to take direct equity stakes in Australian critical minerals projects, including lithium and rare earths, to secure stable supplies and reduce reliance on countries like China, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said in Melbourne. 这项行动旨在减轻供应链风险和过去的能源成本飙升,将涉及通过股本投资、承购协议和合资企业筹资,由欧洲投资银行发挥核心作用。 The move, aimed at mitigating supply chain risks and past energy cost spikes, will involve financing through equity investments, off-take agreements, and joint ventures, with the European Investment Bank playing a central role. 预计不久将有一份得到支助的项目清单,反映欧盟和澳大利亚在重要矿物领域更深入的合作,而此前停滞不前的自由贸易会谈则将于明年初恢复。 A list of supported projects is expected soon, reflecting deeper EU-Australia cooperation in critical minerals, while free trade talks, previously stalled, are set to resume early next year.
