These days, even the most enlightened consumer of raw materials is no longer in a position to be able to know exactly how much is used personally on a daily basis despite being included in the development of regional projects. The potential for conflict is guaranteed. This is still more the case as far as providing industrial states with raw materials is concerned and when suppliers acquire raw materials in emerging economies. A look at the current mass movements between the continents and Austria shows the extent of present individual usage as well as the dependence on exporters frequently located in much fought over fossil rich regions. Canada, China and Australia are current primary participants in the distribution struggle going on in Africa, South America and Asia. Thus, the struggle is being defined by those countries in which raw materials play an important role in any case while Europe stands back assuming a stance of polite restraint and hopes that the supply will continue.
