Task Force 2013 on Advanced Manufacturing for Clean Production Report to the Sectoral Committee "Mechanical Engineering" Brussels, 14th January 2014 Laurent ZIBELL
Follows "Industrial Policy Communication Update" – 10 October 2012 • Strategic aim: manufacturing at 20% of GDP in 2020 (up from 16% in 2012) • Partnership of Commission with industry + Member States • 2 public hearings + 1 workshop in 2013 • Draft report: 9th October 2013
Mission: disseminate, promote demand, find skills, for advanced manufacturing • production speed + productivity • energy + materials consumption • operating precision • waste, pollution management • enable resource-efficient and low emission production
Draft report 9th October 2013 • "Manufacturing industry vision 2025" • 22 recommendations
"Manufacturing industry vision 2025" trends • Personalisation / Mass customisation using ICT • Global centres + regional adaptation • Exploitation of "big data" • Circular economy, incl. dis-assembly • De-carbonated energy supply
22 Recommendations • Faster commercialisation of advanced technologies • Access to finance • Awareness-raising • Stimulate demand via regulation, testing, public procurement • Regulatory framework + standards • Prevent skills & competence deficits
Opinion on "Vision 2025" • Some interesting intuitions (personalisation, mass customisation, dis-assembly) • but • Unequal societies as trend or as goal? • Technology over institutions • Self-organising over regulation • Technological / scientific lack of realism (costs of automation, entropy)
Opinion on 22 recommendations • Greater coherence between existing policies from many DGs (ENTR, RTD, EAC, CONNCT, COMP, EMPL, ENERGY, REGIO, TRADE) + Member States + Regions • Some new policies: SPIRE • Some gaps • Potential synergy with ETUC plan for investment sustainable growth and quality jobs: re-industrialising Europe
