CEN strategy 2010 - Introduction and future orientation

At its General Assembly in October 1999, CEN approved a new strategic vision and direction looking towards the year 2010. Since that time, the environment in which European standardization is working has gone through noticeable changes. There was therefore a need to respond to these changes and to anticipate future developments by reviewing this strategy. Challenges - The process of enlargement has changed the boundaries of the European Union (EU). In line with the political developments in Europe, the CEN membership has increased considerably during the last five years. Today, CEN has 30 National Members. Possible implications regarding the integration of new Members have to be carefully considered. New neighbouring countries have to be made familiar with Europe and the European market.
In 2000, the Lisbon Agenda was launched calling for the EU to become ‘the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion’ by 2010. As confirmed during the Open Session preceding the CEN General Assembly in Budapest in 2005, European standardization is ready to do its share. The development of European Standards in support of the New Approach has largely proven its benefit and is well supported by all parties. At present, a revision of the New Approach is pending and it can be foreseen that further areas not addressed so far (e.g. services) will be incorporated. more ...

Fourth European Working Conditions Surveys (2005) - New data from the Fourth European Working Conditions Survey provides a unique insight into the views of around 30,000 workers in 31 countries on a wide range of issues including work organisation, working time, equal opportunities, training, health & safety and job satisfaction. Work plays a significant part in the lives of most Europeans. Understanding the conditions under which Europeans are working across the different EU countries is therefore central to achieving improved quality of work, greater productivity and ultimately increased employment.

25% cut in accidents at work by 2012 - The European Commission adopts a new five-year strategy for safety and health at work which aims to dramatically reduce work-related accidents. “Every year there are 4 million accidents at work which represent enormous economic costs for the European economy,” said Vladimír Špidla, Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities. For both human and economic reasons, this problem deserves to be given a prominent place on the Community's policy agenda. The new strategy aims in particular at:

• improving and simplifying existing legislation and enhancing its implementation through non-binding instruments such as exchange of good practices, awareness-raising campaigns;

• Defining and implementing national strategies adjusted to the specific context of each Member State;

• Mainstreaming of health and safety at work in other national and European policy areas (education, public health, research) ;

• Better identifying and assessing potential new risks.
