On 20 February 2024, 73 industry leaders from nearly 20 industrial sectors signed the ‘The Antwerp Declaration for a European Industrial Deal’. Many more have signed since then, including the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA). The ETRMA thus joins over 900 organisations across 25 sectors asking for industry and industrial policy to be at the core of the new European Strategic Agenda for 2024-2029. The ‘Antwerp Declaration’ is a call to the governments of European Union member states as well as the next European Commission and Parliament, expressing an “urgent need for clarity, predictability, and confidence in Europe and its industrial policy.” The aim is for a deal that complements the EU’s Green Deal and ensures the retention of “high quality jobs for European workers in Europe.” The Declaration outlines ten urgent actions for restoring European competitiveness while protecting jobs and supporting the Green Deal’s climate goals. “We call on European policymakers to continue to strive for sustainability while maintaining Europe’s competitiveness,” says Adam McCarthy, ETRMA secretary general, “so that the tyre and rubber industry can fully contribute to sustainable smart mobility in Europe.” https://lnkd.in/eBBwe-Zc

"The circular economy affects everyone, and there is potential in every industry" - that was the message I took away from Logimat. 💡   A particularly interesting and encouraging keynote on "Circular logistics - disassembly as the basis for sustainable business" was given by a group of experts from universities and industry. https://lnkd.in/dH7t5ym9   It made me realize that sometimes the key of this transformation lies in rethinking the current process. Glad to see that circularity matters at an international trade fair. ♻ #circulareconomy

An ambitious and open #TradePolicy is essential to supporting the EU’s competitiveness: ➡ Trade openness drives economic growth and job creation, with 1 in 5 EU jobs relying on exports. ➡ It benefits consumers by increasing choices, and 60% of Europeans acknowledge these advantages. ➡ It attracts foreign investments, fostering growth and innovation in the EU. ➡ Finally, diversification in sourcing and exports enhances resilience and our ability to weather and overcome crises. The benefits of openness and growth are overwhelmingly clear. That's why COCERAL is joining 30 other trade organisations (representing companies involved in trade in both goods and services) in calling for an ambitious EU trade policy with a strong openness and market access pillar in the next institutional cycle.
