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 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 quite heavily on industry to deliver on the most important challenges confronted by our economies and societies in Europe. This is especially the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and world competitiveness, in addition to the want to overcome the disaster provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically constructing on the aptitude of European industry to design and produce the constructing blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that doesn’t always support the freedom and flexibility needed for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a long 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 efficiency and ecolabel rules. In parallel, digitalisation has offered elevated alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory degree (sharing of commercial data, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and industry within the EU work more and more extra 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 subject of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can convey together key coverage makers from the three EU coverage establishments in management 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 certainly the entire world, turns into ever extra advanced, the burden on industry solely increases. It due to this fact falls to sector specific commerce organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on these technical and coverage issues most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific arena, 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 applications.
Against this backdrop, one of many major concerns when figuring out the core themes for the joint convention was to maintain up a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to focus on how, together with the significance for companies to handle technical features impacting their daily business operations, they think about the constructive position of business in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the periods could have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission along with technical experts from business and/or analysis institutes, they will each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it pertains to pumps and pumping methods 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 across Europe is becoming increasingly complicated, and industry, in all its guises, must be aware and ready for what’s coming. By participating with these commerce organisations that characterize your greatest pursuits, you’ll be able to keep abreast of all of the compliance developments as they have an result on your corporation and the areas during which you use.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will take place in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 on the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
