Packaging Industry Manifesto for the 2024 – 2029 mandate is out!
EUROPEN, the European Organisation for Packaging and the Environment, stresses its key priorities and lays out policy recommendations for the packaging industry for the legislative term 2024 – 2029.
Better regulation and swift implementation of legislation adopted under the Green Deal
Strengthening the #SingleMarket and deploying an industrial strategy for #competitiveness and #decarbonisation
Enhancing social cohesion, skills and consumer protection
The European industry has defined 5 priorities
85 European and national industry associations have joined forces to make a united call to prevent the risk of de-industrialisation on our continent by relaunching Europe’s competitiveness.
REPOSITIONING EUROPE AS GLOBAL TRADE LEADER
The success of Europe’s trade policy is connected to a smart regulatory environment that consolidates our Single Market, allowing for deeper economic integration and creating a platform for EU companies to remain competitive beyond EU borders.
A HORIZONTAL APPROACH TO EU SINGLE MARKET AND COMPETITIVENESS
Preserving the integrity of the Single Market and supporting its completion is essential to relaunch Europe’s competitiveness and its ability to succeed the green and digital transition.
A joined-up strategy to boost value chain's resilience, protect jobs and consumers
Economic growth, digitalisation and environmental protection go hand in hand in achieving the green and digital transition. We need a joined-up strategy.
BRIDGING THE INNOVATION GAP
Cooperation between industry and public authorities needs to be much tighter to fill the innovation gap between the EU and global competitors.
NURTURING TALENTS AND SKILLS
Skill shortage risks jeopardizing Europe’s ability to go green and digital. The EU must implement policies that bolster vocational training and strengthen education, reskilling and upskilling the working population.
