Foreword from Philippe Citroën

Dear Friends,

It was great getting a chance to speak with so many of you at the 10th Anniversary of the European Railway Awards earlier this month. As always, the event provided a wonderful opportunity for so many members of our community to come together and listen to insightful speakers share their visions of rail – including UNIFE Chairman President of Bombardier Transportation Laurent Troger. I hope those of you who had a chance to attend enjoyed it.

Today is European Industry Day – which will bring together high-level policy makers and representatives from various sectors to debate the future of European Industry. UNIFE along with 125 European Manufacturing Associations signed a Joint Declaration for an ambitious EU industrial strategy, made public earlier this month to put pressure on the European Commission to propose an industrial strategy that will help safeguard the world leadership of European manufacturers, and keep jobs in Europe. We’ve never seen so many associations from such a wide range of industries come together to support a single declaration, and we have definitely been heard.  You can read more about this declaration in this Newsletter.

I am currently on a flight back from Tokyo, where I attended the 6th EU-Japan Industrial Dialogue on Railways. As you know, the past few years of negotiations have not done much to improve access to the Japanese market, and we were very firm in our expectation of concrete results and major market access improvements going far beyond the ‘one-year package’ on railway.

Warm regards,

Philippe Citroën
Director General

UNIFE: Industrial Dialogue on the European Rail Supply Industry

Kick-off meeting of the Industrial Dialogue
on the European Rail Supply Industry
2 March 2017

Dear UNIFE Members,

The European Commission’s Directorate for Industry and SMEs (DG GROW) just informed us that the kick-off meeting of the Industrial Dialogue on the European Rail Supply Industry will take place in Brussels (at the Borschette Conference Centre) on Thursday, 2 March between 9:30 and 16:00. 

The creation of this platform of dialogue between the European Institutions and our industry is the direct outcome of the European Parliament’s Resolution on the Competitiveness of the European Rail Supply Industry adopted last June 2016 under the leadership of Ms Martina Werner, Member of the European Parliament’s Industry Committee.

This first plenary meeting will be opened by Martina Werner herself and by the Deputy Director General of the Commission’s Directorate for Industry and SMEs, Mr Antti Peltomäki. It will bring together numerous high-level representatives of the various Departments of the European Commission (Industry, Transport, Trade, Research, etc.), of Economy Ministries of all Member States as well as, hopefully, many delegates of the European rail supply industry.

Therefore, UNIFE Director-General Philippe Citroën requests high-level representation from your companies at the kick-off in order to demonstrate to the European Commission and the Member States that our industry is ready to dialogue and is united in its call for the swift implementation of concretes measures to boost its global competitiveness.

We will soon come back to you with a draft programme and information on how to register. Furthermore, as the European Commission has asked us to act as a contact point with European suppliers, please don’t hesitate to contact Jean-Philippe Peuziat at jeanphilippe.peuziat@unife.org if you have any questions.
