Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has additional indicated that it will rely quite heavily on business 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 global competitiveness, in addition to the necessity to overcome the disaster provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. เกจวัดแรงดัน and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically constructing on the aptitude of European industry to design and produce the building blocks of the twin green and digital transition. At the identical time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not always assist the liberty and adaptability wanted for firms to develop and compete globally.
The European expertise industries, and specifically our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a very lengthy time thought of the enhancement of their global competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality efficiency and ecolabel laws. In parallel, digitalisation has supplied elevated alternatives and brought new challenges, together with debates on the suitable regulatory level (sharing of commercial knowledge, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever extra fierce international competition, require that public authorities and trade in the EU work increasingly more carefully to design and deploy strategies that reinforce our competitiveness and our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would be the topic of the initial debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which will convey collectively key coverage makers from the three EU policy institutions in management of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements enjoyed, and challenges nonetheless confronted, by these three key sectors of trade.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues

As the regulatory landscape throughout Europe, and indeed the whole world, becomes ever more complicated, the burden on industry solely will increase. It therefore falls to sector particular trade organisations, similar to Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to identify and advise on those technical and policy issues most related to their respective sectors. In our explicit area, that relates, of course, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump associated gear – an enormous and necessary subset of business, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of the major concerns 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, along with the importance for firms to deal with technical aspects impacting their daily business operations, they contemplate the constructive role of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all the sessions may have a technical theme matching essentially the most appropriate UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical specialists from trade and/or analysis institutes, they will each be reflective of the present legislative terrain, because it relates to pumps and pumping methods 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 landscape across Europe is changing into increasingly advanced, and business, in all its guises, needs to be aware and prepared for what is coming. By engaging with those commerce organisations that represent your finest interests, you can keep abreast of all of the compliance developments as they have an effect on your corporation and the areas during which you use.
Europump’s 2022 Annual Meeting & Joint Conference will happen in Brussels on 9–11 May 2022 at the NH Collection Grand Sablon, Rue Bodenbroek – Bodenbroekstraat, 2, B-1000 Brussels, Belgium.
