Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli looks on the EU’s roadmap for industrial help.
Vanni Vignoli, president of Europump.
Following its bulletins of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has further indicated that it’ll rely quite heavily on industry to ship on the major challenges faced by our economies and societies in Europe. This is particularly the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and world competitiveness, in addition to the need to overcome the disaster provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is largely building on the capability of European trade to design and produce the constructing blocks of the twin green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not at all times assist the liberty and suppleness needed for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and in particular our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a really long time thought-about the enhancement of their world competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of energy effectivity and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has provided increased alternatives and brought new challenges, including debates on the suitable regulatory level (sharing of industrial data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and trade within the EU work more and more more closely to design and deploy methods that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would be the subject of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can deliver collectively key coverage makers from the three EU coverage establishments in command of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges still confronted, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and certainly the entire world, becomes ever extra advanced, the burden on trade solely increases. It due to this fact falls to sector particular commerce organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to determine and advise on these technical and coverage points most related to their respective sectors. In our particular enviornment, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated equipment – an enormous and important subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of the main considerations when determining the core themes for the joint conference was to hold up a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to highlight how, together with the significance for firms to handle technical aspects impacting their daily business operations, they contemplate the positive function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the periods will have a technical theme matching essentially the most acceptable UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission together with technical experts from business and/or research institutes, they will each be reflective of the current legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping techniques within the following key areas:
Circular Economy & Eco-design (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 12: Responsible Consumption and Production)
Industry’s Digital Transformation and Innovation (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
The restriction of use of supplies and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative panorama across Europe is changing into increasingly advanced, and industry, in all its guises, must be conscious and ready for what is coming. By engaging with these trade organisations that symbolize your best interests, you can hold abreast of all of the compliance developments as they have an result on your small business and the areas in which you operate.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will take place in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 on the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
