The European Confederation of the Footwear Industry (CEC) is one of 149 industry associations across the continent that have formed a coalition, Industry4Europe, for the purposes of helping to shape a new long-term strategy for manufacturing in the European Union.

Coinciding with the election of a new European Commission and the confirmation of a new Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, on November 27, Industry4Europe published a strategy paper.

At the time of publication, CEC said the paper contains “concrete industrial proposals”, with 
sustainability, upgraded skills and training, enhanced research and innovation, reinforcement of the European Single Market and strengthened international trade among the priority areas.

“CEC and the 148 other industry organisations behind Industry4Europe stand united in their repeated calls for an ambitious and long-term EU industrial strategy,” the footwear industry body said. It added that this strategy must help Europe remain “a hub for a leading, smart, innovative and sustainable” manufacturers, providing quality jobs and benefits all Europeans and future generations.
