Ahead of เกจวัดแรงดันไฮดรอลิค 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 bulletins of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has further indicated that it’ll rely quite heavily 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 global competitiveness, in addition to the need 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 aptitude of European industry to design and produce the building blocks of the dual green and digital transition. At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not all the time support the liberty and flexibility wanted for corporations to develop and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a very long time thought-about the enhancement of their international competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of power efficiency and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory stage (sharing of business information, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever more fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and business within the EU work increasingly 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 subject of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can deliver together key policy makers from the three EU coverage institutions in control 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 across Europe, and indeed the whole world, turns into ever extra complex, the burden on business solely will increase. It subsequently falls to sector particular commerce organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on these technical and policy issues most relevant to their respective sectors. In our explicit enviornment, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated tools – a huge and necessary subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump applications.
Against this backdrop, one of the major concerns 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 spotlight how, together with the importance for firms to address technical elements impacting their every day business operations, they contemplate the optimistic function of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the sessions could have a technical theme matching probably the most acceptable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical experts from trade and/or research institutes, they will every 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 supplies 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 increasingly complex, and business, in all its guises, needs to be aware and ready for what is coming. By engaging with these trade organisations that represent your greatest pursuits, you can maintain abreast of all of the compliance developments as they affect your corporation 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.
