Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli appears on the EU’s roadmap for industrial assist.
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 will rely fairly heavily on industry to deliver on the major challenges faced by our economies and societies in Europe. This is especially the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and international 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 largely constructing on the aptitude of European business to design and produce the constructing blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the identical time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that doesn’t at all times support the freedom and flexibility wanted for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and in particular our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a really long time considered the enhancement of their world competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality effectivity and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied elevated alternatives and brought new challenges, together with debates on the suitable regulatory degree (sharing of business information, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and business within the EU work increasingly extra intently to design and deploy methods 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 bring together key coverage makers from the three EU coverage institutions in control of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges nonetheless confronted, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and indeed the entire world, turns into ever more advanced, the burden on trade solely increases. It therefore falls to sector particular commerce organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on those technical and coverage points most related to their respective sectors. In our particular area, that relates, after all, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related equipment – an enormous and necessary subset of trade, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of the main 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, together with the significance for companies to handle technical features impacting their day by day business operations, they think about the constructive position of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the periods could have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical consultants from business and/or research institutes, they’ll every be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping techniques in 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 advanced, and trade, in all its guises, needs to be conscious and prepared for what is coming. By engaging with those trade organisations that characterize your greatest interests, you’ll be able to hold abreast of all the compliance developments as they have an effect on your business and the areas by which you operate.
