EU unveils plan to secure raw materials, cut dependency

Turkey supplies 98% of borate that the EU needs but 99% of all the large-size mining companies in the country are either owned by an EU or a Canadian-American company. Turks make hardly any money from borate minarels although boron compounds are not found in abundance elsewhere in the world, and it is widely used in almost every electronic, medical and chemical goods. I think it is time the Turks kicked the back stabbing, blood sucking western companies out of the country and decide on a fair price for their raw materials- the same applies to China, Chile, SA...

Good luck to the EU if they are sincere with their plans- but something tells me they will never abondon their colonial ways...
