Difficult to capture 3 days in 1 minute... Hats off to İSDER TURKEY for that great video! 🤩 And thanks again for hosting us 🙏

📢 Frank van Dijck is the new President of FEM   Frank van Dijck was elected as FEM President on 27 September 2024, on the occasion of the FEM Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, organised by İSDER TURKEY. CTO and Member of the Board at Vanderlande, Frank joined FEM in 2020. In 2022, he took the lead of the Intralogistics Systems Product Group and joined the Board of FEM.   Reacting to his election, he said: “As we navigate challenging times, whether economically, environmentally or geopolitically, a strong and stable representative organisation is a must to ensure that our collective interests are preserved. As President of FEM, I will do my utmost to empower the European materials handling industry thanks to a supportive European policy framework with achievable regulations that serve their purpose.”   Meanwhile, Ernesto Dominguez Porta, President of Toyota Material Handling Europe and Chairman of the Industrial Trucks Product Group was elected Vice-President of FEM.   Two new members also joined the Board. Vincent BERIER, Regulation and Compliance Department Manager at Haulotte Group, replaced Luisa Parisotto as Product Group Mobile Elevating Work Platforms President. Luisa stepped down after a remarkable tenure during which she notably managed to formally establish MEWPs as a full-fledged FEM Product Group. Finally, Jocelyn Gourlet, Senior Vice President KION Group Industrial Trucks & Services France, joined as representative of the French National Committee EVOLIS - Organisation professionnelle . Jocelyn will also lead the recently created group on Autonomous Intralogistic Vehicles.   At the dawn of a new 5-year EU cycle, hopefully with the competitiveness of the European industry in focus, FEM is well equipped with a strong leadership to stir the European materials handling industry towards a positive future.

📢 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗕𝗔𝗠 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱   As major downstream users of steel and aluminium, European materials handling equipment manufacturers are heavily impacted by CBAM.   9 months after the beginning of the transition period, companies are faced with numerous challenges to fulfill their reporting obligations. We take stock of these and put forward concrete recommendations to facilitate compliance:   👉 Allow unrestricted use of default values to overcome unsolvable challenges to get emissions data from suppliers 👉 Encourage customs authorities to release data to importers 👉 Provide guidance on how to carry out the reporting 👉 Extend the grace period from one to two months 👉 Extend the reporting cycles from quarterly to biannual 👉 Simplify reporting templates   In addition, we call on the European Commission to assess the exact impact of CBAM on competitiveness of European downstream users and propose offsetting measures accordingly. 🔗 read our detailed recommendations here: https://lnkd.in/efsTUimM #CBAM #steel
