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 announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has additional indicated that it is going to rely quite closely on industry to deliver on the most important challenges faced 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 necessity to overcome the disaster provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is essentially building on the capability 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 support the freedom and adaptability wanted for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and particularly 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 efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of business data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever more fierce international competition, require that public authorities and business within the EU work increasingly extra closely to design and deploy strategies 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 coverage makers from the three EU coverage institutions in command of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges still faced, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory landscape throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more complicated, the burden on industry solely increases. It therefore falls to sector specific commerce organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on those technical and coverage issues most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific enviornment, that relates, after all, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related gear – a huge and necessary subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of the primary issues when determining the core themes for the joint convention was to keep up 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 importance for companies to address technical aspects impacting their every day enterprise operations, they consider the constructive function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the periods could have a technical theme matching the most acceptable UN SDG, and with illustration from the European Commission along with technical specialists from industry and/or research institutes, they may every be reflective of the present 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 across Europe is changing into more and more advanced, and industry, in all its guises, must be conscious and ready for what is coming. By engaging with those commerce organisations that symbolize your best interests, you’ll be able to maintain abreast of all the compliance developments as they have an result on your small business and the areas during which you use.
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.
