Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli seems at the EU’s roadmap for industrial help.
Vanni Vignoli, president of Europump.
Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has additional indicated that it will rely quite closely 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 global competitiveness, in addition to the need to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically 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 doesn’t always assist the liberty and adaptability wanted for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for an extended time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of energy efficiency and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has provided increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of commercial information, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever more fierce international competition, require that public authorities and business within the EU work more and more extra carefully to design and deploy strategies that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This will be the topic of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which will bring together key coverage makers from the three EU coverage institutions in charge of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges still faced, by these three key sectors of business.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory landscape throughout Europe, and certainly the entire world, becomes ever extra complex, the burden on trade solely will increase. It due to this fact falls to sector particular commerce organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to determine and advise on those technical and coverage issues most relevant to their respective sectors. In our explicit arena, that relates, after all, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related gear – a huge and necessary subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of the primary issues when determining the core themes for the joint conference was to take care of a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to spotlight how, along with the significance for corporations to deal with technical features impacting their day by day enterprise operations, they contemplate the optimistic role of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the periods may have a technical theme matching essentially the most applicable UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission together with technical consultants from business and/or analysis institutes, they’ll each be reflective of the current legislative terrain, because it relates to pumps and pumping methods 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative landscape throughout Europe is becoming more and more advanced, and business, in all its guises, must be aware and prepared for what’s coming. By partaking with these trade organisations that characterize your greatest pursuits, you can maintain abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your corporation and the areas in which you operate.
