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 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 deliver 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 crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically building on the potential of European industry to design and produce the building blocks of the twin green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that doesn’t at all times help the freedom and adaptability wanted for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a protracted time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality effectivity and ecolabel rules. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied increased opportunities and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of industrial data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and business 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 will be the topic of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is in a position to convey together 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 confronted, by these three key sectors of industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory landscape throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more advanced, the burden on trade only will increase. It therefore falls to sector specific trade organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on those technical and policy issues most related to their respective sectors. In our explicit arena, that relates, after all, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related equipment – a huge and essential subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against เกจวัดความดันpressuregauge , one of the primary concerns when figuring out the core themes for the joint convention was to maintain a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to focus on how, along with the importance for firms to deal with technical features impacting their daily business operations, they contemplate the positive role of business in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the sessions could have a technical theme matching the most appropriate UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission together with technical specialists from business and/or research institutes, they may each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping methods within the following key areas:
