Congratulations, Oliver, and every success in this important role! 👏

🇪🇺 Oliver Zander has been appointed to the European Commission’s Simplification Platform. The #Simplification Platform is a new high-level expert group that advises the @EU_Commission on simplifying EU law and cutting unnecessary administrative burden.

[Ceemet @CEEMET]

Europe’s metal, engineering and technology-based industries have repeatedly raised concerns about the cumulative impact of EU legislation, ranging from overlapping requirements, growing reporting obligations and regulatory complexity that weigh on their competitiveness.

[Ceemet @CEEMET]

That said, in our view, the EU level could certainly serve to reinforce and support national reforms where necessary, but without creating additional structures or complexity. We would like to reiterate our call on the Commission to respect national competences in this area.

Yesterday, on 5 November, the European Commission launched the long-awaited European VET Strategy to better support EU countries in modernising their VET systems. The #VETstrategy is part of a new Education and Skills Package.

[Ceemet @CEEMET]

In this regard, we welcome the Commission’s main objective of supporting EU countries in modernising their vocational training strategies.

As a Bridges 5.0 partner, Ceemet contributes the employers' perspective on developing the workforce for Industry 5.0.

[Ceemet @CEEMET]

On 2 October 2026, Ceemet participated in the final Bridges 5.0 Final Conference held in Brussels and focused on upscaling Industry with a particular focus on skills development.

[Ceemet @CEEMET]

Finally, Ceemet stressed the importance of building on what already works. Many initiatives across sectors and regions have proven successful, and we should learn from them, scale them up and avoid reinventing the wheel. Learning from what hasn't worked matters just as much.
