Task Force 2013 on Advanced Manufacturing for Clean Production Report to the Sectoral Committee "Mechanical Engineering" Brussels, 14 th 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: 9 th 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 9 th 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
