Revision of the Machinery Directive

Adopted on 10/06/2020
Reference: 
CCMI/172-EESC-2020
Rapporteur: 
Aurel Laurenţiu PLOSCEANU (Employers - GR I / Romania)
Co-rapporteur: 
Enrico GIBELLIERI (Italy)

The EESC welcomes the Commission's current efforts to analyse and possibly improve the performance of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC as part of its regulatory fitness and performance (REFIT) programme. The EESC consider that the Machinery Directive is a very important and successful instrument for European industry, and its basic approach must be left unchanged. While EESC agree some changes are needed, massive changes of the Machinery Directive, in particular to the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) in Annex I, would have a deep negative impact on the work of developing needed harmonised standards and must be avoided.

Fostering incremental innovation in high manufacturing areas (information report)

Adopted on 17/07/2019
Reference: 
CCMI/168-EESC-2019
Rapporteur: 
Antonello PEZZINI (Italy)
Co-rapporteur:

The European Union is greater than the sum of its Member States operating within the single market.

Since the Bratislava Declaration and Roadmap, and even more since the Rome Declaration, EU firms' and citizens' support for the EU has improved, thereby helping the EU leaders to achieve their essential objective of regaining business and citizens' trust: new sound ideas to foster incrementalinnoation in EU manufaturing must be elaborated and tested before the special summit on the Future of Europe debate, due to take place in the Romanian city of Sibiu on 9 May 2019.

The automotive industry on the brink of a new paradigm? (Information report)

Adopted on 22/02/2017
Reference: 
CCMI/148-EESC-2016
Rapporteur: 
Georgi STOEV (Employers - GR I / Bulgaria)
Co-rapporteur: 
Monika SITÁROVÁ (Slovakia)

The European car industry employs 2.5 million workers. Together they account for 8% of total value added in industry. Indirectly the sector provides employment for 12 million workers. European exports of cars are twice as big as imports, resulting in a large trade surplus. European assembly plants produce one out of three cars worldwide. The sector is highly innovative as it accounts for 20% of industrial research funding in Europe.

The survey initiated by the EESC on the automotive industry and its value chain was inspired by the GEAR 2030 initiative and the changes taking place in this sector. It is expected that the new challenges of electrification, digitisation, connectivity and mobility will define the structural transformation of traditional automobile manufacturing. During the next decade, innovation and transformation will take place much more quickly than they have done over the course of the last century.The survey initiated by the EESC on the automotive industry and its value chain was inspired by the GEAR 2030 initiative and the changes taking place in this sector.

Shifting Economics in the World, Consequences for EU competitiveness (information report)

Adopted on 17/09/2015
Reference: 
CCMI/134-EESC-2015
Rapporteur: 
Mr van Iersel (Employers - GR I / Netherlands)
Co-rapporteur: 
Mr Gibellieri (Workers - GR II/Italy)

Studies point to new dynamics in the world economy with substantial consequences for the competitiveness of national economies. The theme of the information report is inspired by a recent study of the Boston Consulting Group. In analysing in-depth the cost-related aspects in manufacturing among a great many countries the study proves that traditional views about the relationship between the developed and underdeveloped/emerging economies is becoming obsolete. In all groupings there are frontrunners and slow developers...
