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 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’s going to rely fairly closely on industry to ship on the major challenges faced by our economies and societies in Europe. This is particularly the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and world competitiveness, as properly as the need to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is largely building on the capability of European industry 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 liberty and flexibility wanted for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a very long time thought of the enhancement of their global competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power effectivity and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has provided increased opportunities and introduced new challenges, including debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of business knowledge, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and trade within the EU work more and more more 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 initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can bring collectively key policy makers from the three EU policy institutions in cost of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges nonetheless faced, by these three key sectors of business.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues
As the regulatory panorama throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more complex, the burden on trade only increases. It therefore falls to sector particular trade organisations, corresponding to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on these technical and policy points most related to their respective sectors. In our explicit arena, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – an enormous and important subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of many major issues when determining 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 highlight how, together with the importance for companies to address technical features impacting their day by day business operations, they think about the positive function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the classes will have a technical theme matching probably the most appropriate UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission together with technical specialists from industry and/or research institutes, they may every be reflective of the current legislative terrain, as it pertains 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative landscape throughout Europe is changing into more and more complex, and trade, in all its guises, needs to be aware and ready for what’s coming. By partaking with those trade organisations that symbolize your finest pursuits, you can keep abreast of all the compliance developments as they have an effect on your business and the areas during which you operate.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will take place in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 on the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
