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 further indicated that it is going to rely fairly closely on business to ship on the most important 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 disaster provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically building on the aptitude of European business 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 assist the freedom and flexibility wanted for companies to grow and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and in particular our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for an extended time considered the enhancement of their world competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased opportunities and brought new challenges, including debates on the suitable regulatory stage (sharing of commercial data, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competition, require that public authorities and trade within the EU work increasingly extra 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 preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which will convey together key coverage makers from the three EU policy establishments in control of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements loved, and challenges nonetheless faced, by these three key sectors of industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and indeed the entire world, turns into ever extra advanced, the burden on trade solely increases. It therefore falls to sector particular trade organisations, similar to 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 related gear – an enormous and important subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of the major issues when figuring out 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 highlight how, along with the significance for companies to deal with technical aspects impacting their daily business operations, they contemplate the positive role of business in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the periods may have a technical theme matching the most acceptable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical specialists from industry and/or analysis institutes, they’ll each be reflective of the current legislative terrain, as it relates to pumps and pumping techniques 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 panorama throughout Europe is changing into more and more complicated, and industry, in all its guises, needs to be aware and prepared for what is coming. By participating with those trade organisations that represent your best pursuits, you possibly can maintain abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your corporation and the areas by which you operate.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will happen in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 on the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
