Topics under discussion
Four pillars:1. Investing in advanced technologies and
financing innovation2. A stronger internal market and smart
regulation3. Global markets and the international
harmonisation of vehicle regulations4. Anticipating adaptation and softening the
social impacts of industrial adjustments
![Page 4: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So, how is that useful?
1. Makes the trade-union position visible2. Offers a forum for alliances with other stake-
holders3. Occasion for debate and confrontation of our
approach with the positions of others4. Influences the European Commission’s
understanding and helps us press for policy making respecting the workers’ needs

Workers’ view
• Automotive sector is the one most impacted by new models of mobility – a sector already in crisis
• Production capacity reductions are a daily business occurence
• Social dumping has become a real threat• Both volume and premium manufacturers are
impacted (& their respective suppliers)
![Page 6: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Our demands
• Transformation of the sector as the key approach to the current problems
• Placing of the decent work agenda into the Cars 2020 work group discussions
And:• Embed these debates into a global industrial
policy for the sector
![Page 7: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Regulatory pressure as essential to drive this transformation of the sector (CO2 limits)
• Non-competitive cooperation by all stakeholders to strengthen the European industrial base
because:• Blind restructuring means shooting oneself in
the foot
![Page 8: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• New product policy (new business models?)– Disconnect mobility from property (of vehicle)– Development of e-mobility
• Infrastructure supporting new technologies• But also: further improvement of ICE• Maintenance of the industrial base in Europe• Investment in battery technologies
![Page 9: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Tackle the social consequences
• Ensure training for workers (new skill requirements emerge, technologies change)
• Find employment opportunities for disappearing activities– Regionally close– In nearby sectors
• Adapt working conditions for an ageing workforce
![Page 10: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Use the current crisis as an opportunity– Train workers for future skills– Prepare the transformation of the sector
• Increase investments in R&D (Europe lags behind globally)
• Tackle the issue of contractual relations between OEMs and their suppliers (which have social consequences)
![Page 11: CARS 2020: anticipating and managing change ETUC Conference, 7 th May 2013 Wolf Jäcklein, industriAll Europe](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072014/56649e755503460f94b75ccf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Manufacturing base in Europe
• Obviously, you can transform mobility by purchasing equipment from the cheapest source
• but: we need to support the industrial base in Europe– That is the basis for domestic demand, and drives
both R&D and all the other sectors of the economy– Its contribution to employment is of considerable
importance
