Ahead of เกจวัดco2 and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli seems at the EU’s roadmap for industrial assist.
Vanni Vignoli, president of Europump.
Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has further indicated that it’s going to rely fairly closely on trade to ship on the main 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 trade to design and produce the building blocks of the twin green and digital transition. At the identical time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that doesn’t always assist the liberty and adaptability wanted for companies to grow and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for an extended time considered the enhancement of their international competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power effectivity and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied elevated opportunities and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the suitable regulatory level (sharing of industrial knowledge, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and industry in the EU work increasingly extra intently to design and deploy strategies that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This will be the subject of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is ready to bring 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 faced, by these three key sectors of industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama across Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more complex, the burden on industry only increases. It therefore falls to sector specific trade organisations, such as Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on these technical and coverage points most related to their respective sectors. In our specific area, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated tools – a huge and important subset of trade, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of the major issues when figuring out 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, together with the significance for corporations to handle technical aspects impacting their every day business operations, they contemplate the optimistic role of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the classes may have a technical theme matching probably the most acceptable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical specialists from trade and/or research institutes, they’ll every be reflective of the current legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping techniques in the following key areas:
