At the same time, the EU is shaping a dense regulatory framework that does not always assist the liberty and flexibility needed for corporations to develop and compete globally.
The European know-how industries, and in particular our pumps, compressors, taps and valves sectors, have for a long time thought of the enhancement of their international competitiveness inside the challenges of societal and environmental challenges, notably by contributing to the preparation of vitality effectivity and ecolabel regulations.
