Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli seems 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’ll rely fairly heavily on business to deliver on the major challenges confronted 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 want to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically constructing on the capability of European business 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 at all times assist the liberty and suppleness wanted for corporations to grow and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a very long time thought of 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 rules. In spmk700 , digitalisation has supplied elevated opportunities and brought new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory stage (sharing of commercial knowledge, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and trade in the EU work more and more more closely to design and deploy methods that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This will be the topic of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can convey collectively key policy makers from the three EU coverage institutions in management of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges still confronted, by these three key sectors of business.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory landscape across Europe, and indeed the entire world, turns into ever extra advanced, the burden on trade solely will increase. It therefore falls to sector specific trade organisations, such as Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to determine and advise on those 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 gear – a huge and necessary subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of the major concerns when determining the core themes for the joint conference was to keep up a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to spotlight how, along with the significance for corporations to deal with technical features impacting their every day business operations, they think about the positive role of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the periods could have a technical theme matching essentially the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical experts from industry and/or analysis institutes, they will every be reflective of the present legislative terrain, as it pertains to pumps and pumping systems 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)
