Following its announcements of 5 May 2021 updating the New Industrial Strategy proposed in 2020, the European Commission has additional indicated that it is going to rely fairly heavily on business to ship on the main challenges confronted by our economies and societies in Europe. This is particularly the case in relation to sustainability, digital transformation, and global competitiveness, as well as the need to overcome the crisis provoked by the Covid-19 pandemic. The EU Recovery and Resilience Plan launched in Spring 2021 is basically 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 doesn’t at all times assist the freedom and adaptability wanted for firms to grow and compete globally.
The European technology industries, and particularly our pumps, compressors, faucets and valves sectors, have for a long time thought-about the enhancement of their world competitiveness throughout the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality effectivity and ecolabel regulations. In parallel, digitalisation has offered elevated alternatives and brought new challenges, together with debates on the appropriate regulatory level (sharing of industrial knowledge, synthetic intelligence, cybersecurity, etc).
These developments, amidst ever more fierce international competition, require that public authorities and trade in the EU work more and more extra intently 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 preliminary debate kicking off our Joint EU Policy Conference, which can deliver collectively key coverage makers from the three EU coverage establishments in control of the Industrial Strategy and three Executives representing and illustrating the achievements loved, and challenges nonetheless confronted, by these three key sectors of industry.
Specific Technical and Policy Issues

It subsequently falls to sector specific trade organisations, such as Europump, CEIR and Pneurop, to establish and advise on these technical and coverage points most relevant to their respective sectors. In our specific enviornment, that relates, in fact, to the manufacture, distribution and use of pumps and all pump related gear – an enormous and important subset of industry, given the width and breadth of pump purposes.
Against this backdrop, one of many major concerns when figuring out 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 importance for firms to deal with technical aspects impacting their daily business operations, they think about the optimistic role of industry in addressing societal challenges. Indeed, all of the classes could have a technical theme matching probably the most applicable UN SDG, and with representation from the European Commission along with technical specialists from trade and/or analysis institutes, they may each be reflective of the current legislative terrain, as it relates 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 materials and substances of concern (Relevant UN Sustainable Development Goal no. 6: Clean Water and Sanitation)
The regulatory and legislative panorama across Europe is changing into more and more advanced, and business, in all its guises, must be conscious and prepared for what is coming.
