Thanks to a further 12-month-funding from the European Commission’s DG Employment and Social Affairs, the European project “Anticipation of Change in the Automotive Industry” launched its second phase in December 2009, running until 30 October 2010.

CLEPA and its partner EMF, in co-operation with ACEA and CEEMET as observers, will continue the implementation of the European partnership for Anticipation of change signed in 2007.

The main objective is to gather all relevant stakeholders to review the evolution of the automotive sector, to open a dialogue between the different actors and to help them to adapt to the change. This will be done during four public events, organised in Brussels.

January 2011:           Integration of the supply chain

27 October 2010:      Impact of regulatory framework

 

30 June 2010           Forum on electro-mobility

27 April 2010           What future for transport?

The European partnership for anticipation of change was launched in October 2007 on the occasion of the Automotive Restructuring Forum organised by the European Commission.

Its aim was to bring the car manufacturers and automotive suppliers to work together with the trade unions with a view to better anticipate the changes taking place in the industry thus contributing to the sustainability of the European automobile industry.

In the context of the project, several events were organised, see list below.

14 October 2009: Forum on Anticipation of Change in the Automotive Industry

15 June 2009: Forum on good practices in anticipating and managing change within companies and regions in the automotive industry
