Under the slogan "Europe, closer", the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, which began on 1 July and will end in December of this year, has the goal of furthering the work of the EU Council on important issues such as reindustrialization, the climate emergency, economic governance, social policy and European unity.
As two of the officially recognized European standards organizations, CEN and CENELEC, together with their Spanish UNE member, are delighted by the opportunities that the Presidency will bring to highlight the role of standardization and show how it can provide the best support for achieving the goals set by Spain.
- Re-industrialize the EU and ensure its open strategic autonomy.
- Further the ecological transition and environmental adaptation.
- Promote greater social and economic justice.
- Strengthen European unity.
CEN, CENELEC and UNE are hoping to make standards more visible as an element that facilitates the goals of the Spanish Presidency. To this end, an event will take place on October 10 called "Standardization: strategic instrument for the climate and digital transition", as part of the official programme of the Spanish Presidency of the EU.
