Ahead of เครื่องมือวัดความดัน and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli looks at 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 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 world competitiveness, as properly as the necessity 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 industry 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 always help the freedom and adaptability needed for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a protracted time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness within the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power effectivity and ecolabel rules. In parallel, digitalisation has provided elevated 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 more fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and industry in the EU work more and more extra carefully to design and deploy methods that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would be the topic of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which will deliver together key policy makers from the three EU policy establishments in management of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements loved, and challenges still faced, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama across Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever extra advanced, the burden on industry only will increase. It subsequently falls to sector particular trade organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on those technical and coverage issues most related to their respective sectors. In our explicit area, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related equipment – a huge and essential subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of many major concerns when determining the core themes for the joint convention 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 focus on how, along with the significance for corporations to address technical aspects impacting their day by day enterprise operations, they consider the constructive role of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the sessions will have a technical theme matching the most acceptable UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission together with technical consultants from industry and/or analysis institutes, they will each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping systems in the following key areas:
