CECIMO, the association representing the interests of machine tool and manufacturing technologies, has released a new statement concerning additive manufacturing’s position in upcoming discussions by the欧盟委员会。
Cecimo在2019年3月发表正式声明后重申了其对将增材制造保持在决策的中心与产品责任，知识产权（IP）权利和美国欧盟贸易协议有关。
该协会指出：“在年底之前，添加剂制造将处于欧洲一级的中心。”
The Commission is due to publish a new study and guidelines that will rekindle debates surrounding quality standards and the difference between Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Consumer (B2C) relations. In such debates, the association reiterates, “CECIMO will address policymakers to avoid burdening the sector with不必要的法规。”
尽管迫在眉睫的地缘政治麻烦，例如英国退出欧盟，United States-China trade war, CECIMO also maintains that “there are many foreign opportunities for the machine tool industry to thrive.”
Standards, qualification and training for additive manufacturing
CECIMO membership comprises 15 related associations, each representing a country in Europe. This includes, for example, Germany’sVDW和制造技术协会(MTA) in the UK. In collaboration with its members, and through internal market intelligence, CECIMO provides, among other things, guidance for manufacturing industry policymakers.
在协会的最新更新中，Cecimo评论了最近的public consultation on the Machinery Directive。Cecimo于2019年6月7日开业，并于2019年8月30日关闭，并指出，这个机会“对AM行业很重要，因为它使我们有机会表达需要统一标准的需求”。在咨询中，该协会提出了针对添加剂制造机的类型C安全标准的开发，将其与其他工业机械保持一致，例如液压压机和热成型机。
Second, the association stressed the pressure it has put on European legislators to make developing a widely-accepted qualification and training system a priority. In particular,Sector Skills Strategy in Additive Manufacturing或简称Sam，其欧洲合作被强调。
国际贸易中的增材制造业
关于国际贸易协议，增材制造已成为美国欧盟工业产品协议的优先领域。CECIMO添加剂制造委员会主席斯图尔特·莱恩（Stewart Lane）说：“关于AM部门的辩论仍然非常活跃，欧盟政策制定者需要布局一套支持和灵活的一组，这些条款的最终确定是预计到年底的。规则如果他们希望保持欧洲部门的领导地位。”
Cecimo也支持冯·德莱恩委员会（Von der Leyen Commission），该委员会将于2024年11月1日从2019年11月1日任职，并在没有英国提名的情况下运作。
In another recent update Marcus Burton, Chairman of CECIMO’s Economic Committee, added “CECIMO supports the political guidelines of the Von der Leyen Commission, as they pursue comprehensive trade strategies for the neighbouring regions of the EU, a new EU-US trade partnership, and, above all, a reform of the WTO trade protection mechanisms and rules.”
尽管Brexit negotionations继续形成圣rong narrative for discussions at the European Commission, CECIMO has also offered comment on conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and the current Iran conflict. “In this context,” the association states, “CECIMO is willing to cooperate to ensure transparent trade relations with these and other countries, and it urges the European Union to use effective instruments that do not seriously hinder European machine tool builders’ position abroad.”
