Ahead of its Annual Meeting and Joint Conference with CEIR and Pneurop in Brussels this May, Europump president Vanni Vignoli seems at the EU’s roadmap for industrial help.
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 quite closely on business to ship on the most important challenges confronted by our economies and societies in Europe. This is especially the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and international competitiveness, as properly as the necessity 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 capability of European business 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 at all times assist the liberty and flexibility wanted for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a very long time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness within the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of energy efficiency and ecolabel rules. In parallel, digitalisation has offered increased alternatives and introduced new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of business knowledge, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competitors, require that public authorities and business in 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 would be the subject of the preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which is able to deliver collectively key policy makers from the three EU policy institutions 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 across Europe, and certainly the whole world, turns into ever more complicated, the burden on industry only will increase. It due to this fact falls to sector particular trade organisations, such as Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on these technical and coverage points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our particular arena, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – a huge and important subset of trade, given the width and breadth of pump functions.
Against this backdrop, one of many main issues when determining the core themes for the joint convention was to maintain a direct reference to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Within this focus, the three associations intend to spotlight how, along with the significance for corporations to address technical features impacting their every day enterprise operations, they consider the optimistic function of trade in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the sessions may have a technical theme matching essentially the most acceptable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical consultants from industry and/or analysis institutes, they’ll each be reflective of the current legislative terrain, because it pertains 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 across Europe is becoming increasingly complex, and industry, in all its guises, needs to be aware and prepared for what is coming. By participating with these trade organisations that symbolize your best pursuits, you’ll find a way to keep abreast of all of the compliance developments as they have an effect on your business and the areas in which you use.
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.

Europump is the European Association of Pump Manufacturers. Established in 1960, it represents 16 National Associations. เกจ์แรงดัน symbolize greater than 450 companies with a collective manufacturing worth of more than €10 billion and an employee base of one hundred 000 people throughout Europe.
