The European Commission has officially released the Annual Union Work Programme for European Standardisation 2024.
This programme is a key tool that sets the priorities for European standardisation activities, supporting the EU’s policies and legislative initiatives.
Standards are crucial for promoting innovation, safety, and competitiveness across the Single Market.
The Annual Union Work Programme for European Standardisation serves as a strategic guide for standard-setting activities that are essential for supporting Europe’s industrial policy and addressing key challenges of the 21st century.
With its publication, European businesses, policymakers, and standardisation bodies now have a clear direction for the year ahead, ensuring that the EU continues to lead in sustainability, innovation, and global competitiveness.
Complementing the 2024 Work Programme is our Green-Loop Project with its focuse on circular economy principles.
Synergies Between the Work Programme and Green-Loop
The Annual Union Work Programme for European Standardisation 2024 provides the necessary framework for initiatives like the Green-Loop Project to thrive.
By aligning standardisation efforts with Europe’s climate and sustainability goals, the EU is fostering an environment where innovation in green technologies and practices can flourish.
Together, the programme and the Green-Loop Project aim to:
- Enable businesses to meet new environmental standards while remaining competitive.
- Support SMEs and innovators in adopting sustainable business models.
- Enhance cross-border collaboration to tackle global environmental challenges and drive Europe’s leadership in green technologies.
The 2024 programme and the Green-Loop Project are among the cornerstones of Europe’s efforts to transition towards a sustainable, circular, and climate-neutral economy. These initiatives not only address urgent environmental challenges but also pave the way for long-term economic resilience and innovation.
