  • MSSI Overview Leaflet.Pdf
    Members About MSSI Electrical MSSI Electrical is a CECAPI initiative, with the support of major industrial players. MSSI Electrical, a not-for-profit initiative, is serviced by the ORGALIM Partnership in Supporting manufacturer associations Brussels. MSSI Electrical’s objective is to help eliminate unsafe and non-compliant electrical products in Europe to help protect people, goods and property. Working together, with trade bodies, market surveillance and law enforcement authorities, MSSI Electrical will provide information and training to support efforts to help ensure 100 percent of products used in Europe are safe and compliant. Some of the biggest global names in electrical product innovation are working together to raise awareness and inform the right people, including supply chain operators, customs and other government organizations. The objectives are twofold: 1. The first goal is to bring together manufacturers to agree and develop proactive actions / initiatives for ensuring optimum customer safety and product compliance with European directives to contribute both to safety for customers of electrical equipment and to fair competition among market operators. The intent is to develop an initiative that serves as a framework to achieve more effective market surveillance by the relevant national authorities across Europe. 2. The second goal is to foster the widest application of this new framework, as defined above, including through reporting unsafe or otherwise non-compliant products to the relevant national authorities. In particular, this initiative would strive to: • Improve market surveillance effectiveness and efficiency by contribution of all A CECAPI initiative economic operators in European countries • Consolidate national reporting of unsafe or otherwise non-compliant products to national authorities under the umbrella of a European organization.

  • Orgalime Position Paper On
    ORGALIME POSITION PAPER ON Green Paper on the European Transparency Initiative COM (2006) 194 final Brussels, 30 August 2006 Introduction ORGALIME, which was set up in 1954, is an international association set up under Belgian law (AISBL). We speak for 35 national trade federations in 24 European countries, which represent some 130,000 companies in the mechanical, electrical, electronics and metalworking industries. Our national association members are established in 20 EU countries (all member states excluding Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Malta and Slovakia) and we also have members from Bulgaria, Croatia, Norway and Switzerland. The engineering industries (NACE codes 28 to 33) employ some 10 million people in the EU and accounted for an estimated 1598 billion Euro of annual output in 2005, which is over a quarter of the EU’s output of manufactured products and a third of the manufactured exports of the European Union. Orgalime welcomes the Commission’s Green Paper on the “European Transparency Initiative” and the opportunity to provide our comments on this paper. We welcome the increasing transparency in the work of the institutions and the efforts being made by the different Directorates General to consult stakeholders across the board before issuing a policy or a proposal. We believe that the Commission’s standards of consultation have improved markedly in recent years, although we remain concerned that consultation procedures are still often neither simple enough, nor targeted enough. We comment hereafter in greater detail on this issue and on the issue of transparency in the answers we provide to the Commission’s questions. As a trade association, Orgalime consistently represents the collective interests of engineering companies, the vast majority of which are SMEs, which would otherwise find it difficult to make their views known at an EU level.

Work defines us as people, such that when we aren’t happy at work, other areas of our life suffer. Yet 85% of workers worldwide admit to hating their jobs when surveyed anonymously, according to a recent Gallup poll. Overall, Gallup found that only 15% of workers feel engaged by their jobs i.e. they feel a sense of “passion” for and “deep connection” to their work, spending their days “driving innovation and moving their organisation forward.” We know that talking to association staff over many years that the Brussels association community is a generally happy group of people who tend to be really engaged in their work.

The meeting was live- streamed online) Opening of the meeting by Claudia Canevari – European Commission, DG Energy The meeting was opened by Ms. Claudia Canevari, head of the Unit Energy Efficiency at DG Energy. Ms. Canevari firstly introduced the energy policy context of the European Union, r mentioning that the Commission adopted a communication on the Energy Union in 2015 and the Clean Energy for All European Package in 2016, which includes a consistent set of ambitious proposals for revising the policy framework the EU energy sector. Ms. Canevari underlined the importance of energy efficiency and energy flexibility and highlighted that digitalization of energy is a key component in the policy framework. She emphasized that buildings have a key role to play in digitalization and enhancing energy efficiency and that the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) under the EPBD would help to achieve these targets. The SRI is particularly illustrative of the stronger focus on smart buildings in EU energy efficiency policies. The aim of this indicator is to ensure the smartness of the buildings can be rated with the aim to express the value added of digitalization to building owners and occupants, so they can take that value into account in their investment choices. The SRI must address three key aspects: • The
