Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli seems at the EU’s roadmap for industrial assist.

Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has further indicated that it’ll rely quite heavily 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 international competitiveness, in addition to the necessity to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is largely building on the capability of European business 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 does not at all times support the freedom and suppleness wanted for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a protracted time considered the enhancement of their international competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power efficiency and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased opportunities and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory stage (sharing of industrial data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competition, require that public authorities and business 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 will be the subject of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can deliver collectively key policy makers from the three EU policy institutions in charge of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges nonetheless faced, by these three key sectors of industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama across Europe, and certainly the entire world, turns into ever extra complex, the burden on business only increases. It therefore falls to sector particular trade organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on these technical and policy points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific enviornment, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – a huge and important subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of the primary considerations when figuring out the core themes for the joint convention was to hold up 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 corporations to handle technical features impacting their every day enterprise operations, they contemplate the optimistic role of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the classes could have a technical theme matching the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical experts from business and/or analysis institutes, they may every be reflective of the current legislative terrain, because it relates 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
