The European Commission published their Press Release on their New Industrial Strategy for Europe on 10 March 2020.
Industry4Europe, a coalition of 154 industry Associations including FEICA, published a Press Release following the much anticipated New Industrial Strategy for Europe.
The European Commission recognises industry to be 'central to Europe’s future progress and prosperity' and announced a comprehensive set of measures aimed at “maintaining European industry’s global competitiveness and a level playing field, at home and globally, making Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and shaping Europe’s digital future”.
Launched three years ago, the Industry4Europe coalition has consistently called on the European Institutions to develop an ambitious EU industrial strategy that helps Europe remain a hub for a leading, smart, innovative and sustainable industry, and that provides quality jobs and benefits all Europeans and future generations. Last November, the Coalition published the Joint Paper 'A long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future: from words to action’.
The sector Associations of the Coalition will now carefully review and assess all individual measures proposed by the European Commission. In the Press Release, Industry4Europe thanks the Commission for its hard work and for identifying the main pillars of the Industrial Strategy 'that echo those recommended by the Coalition'.
A long-term strategy for Europe’s industrial future: from words to action
In November 2019, FEICA co-signed the Industry4Europe Joint Paper calling for an ambitious EU industrial strategy.
Industry4Europe is a coalition of 149 sector associations and represents the diversity of the EU’s industrial base. The European Commission will publish its Industrial Strategy in a fortnight and we are counting on the fact that the Joint Paper will be taken into consideration.
We will keep you updated on any new developments via the usual channels.

The circular economy: The role of adhesives and sealants
Adhesives and sealants have been creating sustainable solutions for decades by enhancing the circularity of many products along their life cycles. The adhesive and sealant industry, committed to its sustainability vision, is therefore a key enabler in the development of the circular economy, collaborating across the value chains and with end customers to support societal change.
