  1. The European industrial trucks industry Position • World leader • Significant number of direct jobs in Europe Main EU regulatory requirements • Machinery Directive (users’ safety) • Exhaust emissions NRMM • Outdoor noise • Upcoming: energy efficiency / resource efficiency? Conference on Market Surveillance and Machinery, 24 November 2011, Brussels

  2. Theory vs practice The regulatory framework is there… but is it respected? Examples of non-compliant industrial trucks on display at a trade fair in Europe  The very best requirements are of little value if they are not controlled and respected! Conference on Market Surveillance and Machinery, 24 November 2011, Brussels

  3. The way forward Without effective market surveillance non-compliance surges, resulting in: • Unfair competition → loss of competitiveness → pressure on jobs • Hindered safety → higher risk of accidents → injuries/fatalities • Hampered environmental efforts → compromised sustainability Key recommendations • More focus on machinery • Better coordination among market surveillance authorities • Enhanced cooperation with customs authorities Industry is willing to help! Conference on Market Surveillance and Machinery, 24 November 2011, Brussels
