Ahead of ตัววัดแรงดัน and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli appears on the EU’s roadmap for industrial support.
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’ll rely fairly heavily on trade to ship on the main 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 need 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 aptitude of European trade 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 does not at all times help the freedom and flexibility needed for corporations to develop and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and in particular our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a long time thought-about the enhancement of their world competitiveness within the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased opportunities and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of industrial data, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competition, require that public authorities and business in the EU work more and more extra intently to design and deploy strategies that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would be the topic of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is ready to convey collectively key policy makers from the three EU policy establishments 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 business.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory landscape throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, turns into ever extra complicated, the burden on industry only increases. It due to this fact falls to sector particular trade organisations, such as Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on those technical and policy points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific arena, that relates, after all, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated tools – a huge and essential subset of trade, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of many major 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 spotlight how, together with the significance for firms to handle technical elements impacting their day by day business operations, they contemplate the constructive position of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the classes will have a technical theme matching essentially the most appropriate UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical consultants from business and/or analysis institutes, they will each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, as it pertains to pumps and pumping systems 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative landscape across Europe is becoming increasingly complex, and trade, in all its guises, must be aware and prepared for what’s coming. By participating with these trade organisations that represent your greatest interests, you’ll find a way to maintain abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your corporation and the areas in which you use.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will happen in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 at the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
The full programme and registration course of are available right here.
