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 support.
Vanni Vignoli, president of Europump.
Following its bulletins 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 business to deliver on the main 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 necessity to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is largely building on the aptitude of European trade to design and produce the constructing blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not always support the freedom and flexibility needed for companies to develop and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a really long time considered the enhancement of their international competitiveness within the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of energy efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has offered elevated opportunities and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory degree (sharing of business data, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and industry in the EU work increasingly more carefully to design and deploy strategies 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 is ready to convey collectively key coverage makers from the three EU policy establishments in command of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges still faced, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and certainly the whole world, becomes ever extra advanced, the burden on industry solely increases. It subsequently falls to sector specific commerce organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to determine and advise on these technical and coverage points most related to their respective sectors. In our specific arena, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related equipment – an enormous and important subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of many major concerns when figuring out the core themes for the joint conference was to maintain 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 corporations to deal with technical elements impacting their every day business operations, they consider the optimistic role of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the sessions may have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical consultants from trade and/or research institutes, they’ll every be reflective of the current legislative terrain, as it pertains to pumps and pumping systems 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 landscape across Europe is changing into more and more advanced, and trade, in all its guises, needs to be aware and prepared for what is coming. By participating with those trade organisations that represent your greatest pursuits, you possibly can maintain abreast of all of the compliance developments as they have an result on your corporation and the areas by which you operate.
