Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli appears 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 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 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 constructing on the capability of European trade to design and produce the building blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the identical time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that doesn’t all the time support the liberty and suppleness wanted for companies to develop and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a very lengthy time thought of 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 laws. In parallel, digitalisation has provided increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the suitable regulatory stage (sharing of industrial information, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competition, require that public authorities and business within 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 topic of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is able to bring together key coverage makers from the three EU policy establishments 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 industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and certainly the entire world, turns into ever extra complex, the burden on trade only will increase. It subsequently falls to sector particular commerce organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on these technical and coverage points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific enviornment, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – an enormous and necessary subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of the main considerations when determining 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 highlight how, together with the significance for corporations to deal with technical elements impacting their every day business operations, they think about the positive role of business in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the sessions may have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical experts from business and/or analysis institutes, they will every be reflective of the current legislative terrain, as it relates to pumps and pumping methods 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)
The regulatory and legislative landscape across Europe is becoming increasingly complex, and business, in all its guises, needs to be aware and prepared for what is coming. By engaging with these commerce organisations that represent your best pursuits, you presumably can hold abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your business and the areas in 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.
