The European Commission Calls For Action On Commodities And Raw Materials
Excessive volatility of prices on all major commodity markets occurs at a time when the competitiveness of European industry crucially depends on efficient and secure access to raw materials. Raw materials are vital for the EU’s economy and particularly crucial for the development of modern environmentally friendly technologies such as electric cars and photovoltaics. The recent volatility in commodity prices threatens to increase inflation and global raw material markets are becoming increasingly distorted due to protectionist measures. The price fluctuation on the agricultural commodity markets has an impact on farmers, food-makers and consumers, including in the poorest countries. In response to these challenges, the European Commission presented today an integrated strategic vision to tackle challenges in Commodity markets and on Raw materials. The Commission proposes actions to improve the regulation, functioning and transparency of financial and commodity markets. The European Commission also calls for the swift implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative adopted in 2008. The Communication on commodities and raw materials contributes to the Europe 2020 flagship initiative 'A resource-efficient Europe' that was adopted last month (IP/11/63).

Privatizations Could Raise Up To EUR 24 Billion On Vienna Stock Exchange
In Austria, there are a number of companies, especially at the regional level, that are potential candidates for privatization through the Vienna Stock Exchange and would contribute to the revival of the Austrian capital market. A study entitled “The Privatization Potential of State-owned Enterprises” conducted by the Economica Institute for Economic Research names the following candidates at the regional level: In the energy sector, BEWAG, Energie Oberösterreich, Energie Steiermark, KELAG, Salzburg AG, TIWAG, Vorarlberger Illwerke and Wien Energie. In the transport sector, there is potential in the airports of Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Linz and Salzburg. Additionally, at the national level Münze Österreich and Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft are privatization candidates. The partial privatization of these companies – the state keeps a stake of 25% + 1 share – could raise an IPO volume of EUR 19.9 billion on the Austrian capital market. Furthermore, the potential of secondary public offerings by already partially privatized companies listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange (Österreichische Post, Telekom Austria, OMV, Flughafen Wien, EVN and Verbund) would be EUR 3.9 billion. -
