Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli looks 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 additional indicated that it’ll 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 want to overcome the crisis 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 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 flexibility wanted for companies to grow and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a really 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 vitality effectivity and ecolabel rules. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied elevated alternatives and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory degree (sharing of industrial information, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce worldwide competitors, require that public authorities and business within the EU work increasingly extra 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 subject of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is ready to convey collectively key coverage makers from the three EU coverage 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 industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more advanced, the burden on industry solely will increase. It due to this fact falls to sector specific trade organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on those technical and coverage issues most related to their respective sectors. In our explicit enviornment, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated equipment – an enormous and necessary subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of many primary considerations when determining the core themes for the joint conference 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, along with the importance for corporations to address technical features impacting their every day business operations, they consider the constructive function of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the periods could have a technical theme matching essentially the most appropriate UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical specialists from industry and/or research institutes, they will 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative panorama throughout Europe is changing into more and more advanced, and industry, in all its guises, must be aware and prepared for what’s coming. By partaking with these trade organisations that characterize your greatest pursuits, you’ll find a way to hold abreast of all the compliance developments as they have an result on your corporation and the areas by which you use.
