    HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH Avenue des Gaulois, 7 1040 Brussels, Belgium Tel: + 32 (2) 732-2009 Fax: + 32 (2) 732-0471 Mr. José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 1049 Brussels Brussels, March 4, 2014 Re: Mandatory reporting on conflict minerals Dear President of the European Commission, We are writing ahead of the College of Commissioners’ meeting tomorrow to urge you to ensure that the Commission’s legislative proposal on responsible sourcing of minerals includes a mandatory obligation for companies to undertake supply chain due diligence—that is, measures that companies must undertake to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for human rights abuses in their supply chains. It is our view that the proposal must include a clear mandatory supply chain due diligence requirement for companies that place unprocessed or processed tin, tantalum, tungsten or gold, or manufactured products containing these minerals, on the European market. This due diligence must include an obligation for companies to check and report on their supply chains, in line with existing international standards set by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas lays out a series of due diligence measures that companies should take to avoid contributing to armed conflict when sourcing minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. The Guidance has been endorsed by OECD Governments, including EU Member States and the US, and was negotiated with the input of companies, governments, and civil society. In the United States, companies reporting under Section 1502 of the Dodd Frank Act are already required to do enhanced due diligence on products containing minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring countries, obliging companies to publicly disclose the source of minerals originating from the region.
