Just launched: The Transatlantic Economy 2019!

This year’s Transatlantic Week theme was “Atlantic drift? The EU, the US and the WTO in a new world”.
The tectonics of the global economy are rapidly shifting, creating new challenges for the historic EU-US partnership and the role of the WTO.
Can we avoid a transatlantic drift – or even a global one?

A strong, vibrant EU-US relationship delivers growth and stability for businesses and citizens.

The Transatlantic Economy Report 2019 has been launched during the Transatlantic Week.
This annual report presents the most up-to-date facts and figures about the EU-US economic relationship.
This year’s edition features new inserts on topics such as Brexit and the EU-US auto trade and investment landscape.

The research was conducted independently by Dan Hamilton and Joseph Quinlan of the Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University.

CER, a successful 30-year story

2018 marked the 30th anniversary of CER. Since its foundation, the Community of European Railway and Infrastructure Companies (CER) has grown from 14 to more than 70 members and partners, comprising an overwhelming majority of the rail-related infrastructure and train operations in Europe.

Cooperation for sure makes CER stronger than the sum of its parts, but an essential element is that each and every member, big or small, can also make its individual voice heard within CER.

“The anniversary,” stated  Crister Fritzson, CER Chair, “gave us a good opportunity to reflect on the progress and achievements made during all these years, but also on the challenges ahead and the necessary commitments”.

More recently CER and its members have been campaigning for an adequate level of budgetary support for the rail system in the upcoming
Multiannual Financial Framework. Libor Lochmann, CER Executive Director, declared: “We are counting on this to allow rail undertakings and their customers to make the most out of the latest available digital technologies”.

Know more about CER in their last Annual Report, and understand how the rail as a whole is working together for a sustainable European mobility sector.

The Communication Agency, Page in extremis is proud to have participated in the creative development and the graphical production of the CER Annual Report 2018. The result is an inspiring brochure made within an intimate original dialogue involving the CER Communication team and the communication agency.

HindSight28: changing to adapt and adapting to change

“There are many sayings about change – that change is constant, that it is painful, that you have to start by changing yourself, that it should not be an end in itself… However, ultimately most of these sayings are making the point that change is probably necessary, and it is better to embrace it and drive the change rather than resist it” stated Eamonn Brennan, EUROCONTROL Director General in the HindSight28 Magazine.

So, nothing surprising that the theme of issue 28 of HindSight magazine is ‘Change’.  Changes in aviation – in organisations, in industry and in society generally – affect us all, and can affect the safety of air traffic management.

“For decades, flights have been channelled into very specific routes between fixed waypoints”, added Eamonn Brennan. “That’s now changing, with aircraft free to choose where they fly, resulting in more efficient trajectories”.

Change is necessary to adapt to the changing world, and we need to adapt to these changes as individuals, teams, and organisations. “The change is being introduced gradually and progressively”, explain Eamonn Brennan, “first at nights and/or weekends and then H24”.

In Hindsight28, You will find articles from the front-line, as well as from safety, legal, leadership, human factors and psychology specialists.

HindSight is produced for air traffic controllers by the EUROCONTROL Safety Improvement Sub-Group (SISG). Issued twice a year, HindSight aims to help operational air traffic controllers to share in the experiences of other controllers who have been involved in ATM-related safety occurrences.

Page in extremis, a communication agency based in Brussels, is delighted to collaborate with EUROCONTROL. In close collaboration with Lucia Pasquini, External Communications Manager and Steven Shorrock, Editor-in-Chief, Page in extremis has achieved the graphic design of issue 28 of HindSight magazine.

Page in extremis realises major periodicals for many international organisations such as EUROCONTROL, the World Customs Organisation, UNEP, EuroChildren, WWF.

On the road with the European Tyre Label!

On 17 May 2018, the European Commission published a legislative proposal to revise the European Tyre Label, which is currently undergoing the co-legislators assessment and adoption.

To contribute to the debate, the European Tyre and Rubber Manufacturers’ Association (ETRMA) commissioned to Lizeo Group a study to look at the current status of the European Tyre Market, about the performance indicators on the tyre label since its implementation in 2012. The study looked at the combination of rolling resistance (fuel efficiency), and wet grip (safety) performances as these are in trade-off – and should always be considered together.

The research by the Lizeo Group concluded that there is still a significant potential for further dissemination and awareness growth of the current tyre label as 98% of the products are even labelled below B-B.

The tyre and rubber industry is a stronghold of European manufacturing, directly employing over 360,000 people - and providing additional 800,000 indirect jobs - across the EU and contributing 0,5% of the EU GDP.

The industry has significantly improved its sustainability at every stage, from design to end-of-life. Tyre weight reduction, voluntary commitment to phase out substances that proved to be dangerous, supporting the chemical industry in evaluating the risks connected to their products and the Sustainable Natural Rubber Initiative are some of the most recent examples of that commitment.

ETRMA has entrusted Page in extremis with the tasks of designing and producing the publication.

Page in extremis is a strategic design communication agency, involving an experimented multidisciplinary team, building brands and strengthening reputations for leading corporations, institutions and European associations.

Page in extremis is based in Brussels. The multidisciplinary team can help you define and translate the core-idea of your organisation into brilliant visual systems.

The IFIEC President continued: “Yes, we are now in the very midst of the 2030 energy transition. New ambitious climate targets mean that our industries have to innovate faster than before and therefore we even more urgently need the right industrial policy framework conditions at EU level”.

EU energy efficiency: 5 steps to turn policies into action on the ground!

Its membership unites businesses, professionals, local authorities, trade unions, cooperatives, consumer and civil society organisations in pursuit of this goal.

Stay tuned with our planet: read the WWF magazine!

Appeared on Earth 300 000 years ago, Homo Sapiens has had an exceptional destiny.  While our closest biological cousins, the great apes, now number about 200,000 individuals, the human has exceeded 7 billion individuals …

This demographic challenge is added to the global adoption of a lifestyle extremely voracious in natural resources.
In all areas, the signs of depletion of the Earth are multiplying worryingly:
- There is the talk of “windshield phenomenon” to evoke the virtual disappearance of insect impacts on windshields when driving on motorways.
- Forests have lost 1.2 billion km2, mainly for agriculture and plantations.
- In 25 years, dead zones in the oceans and seas have grown by 75%.
- Plastic seas have made their appearance and are wreaking havoc in many places around the world.

These are some crucial issues that must be addressed if we want to leave a living planet for our children.

WWF magazine provides an inspiring, in-depth look at the connections between animals, people and our planet.
Published quarterly by WWF, the magazine helps us make a part of the efforts to solve some of the most pressing issues facing the natural world.

American companies have deep and longstanding ties in Europe

In 2017, U.S. investment in Europe totalled more than € 2 trillion and directly supported more than 4.7 million jobs.

The AmCham Eu’s publication “Case for Investing in Europe 2018”, written by Joseph Quinlan, Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins University, shows that Europe is still the world’s largest economy and continues to offer tremendous investment opportunities for American business.

Joseph Quinlan lays out why Europe and the United States are stronger together and describes the deep ties that bind both sides of the Atlantic.
Along with creating jobs, developing infrastructure and driving innovation, American companies also invest in people and communities through social and educational programs, research and development or environmental and health initiatives.

As Susan Danger, CEO, AmCham EU, stated: “American companies have found a second home in Europe. With 60% of total U.S. foreign direct investment going to Europe every year, their contribution to the European economy is enormous”.

Know more in The Case for Investing in Europe 2018: throughout the publication, you will find a series of testimonials from senior business executives. They are members of AmCham EU’s Executive Council—a group of twenty CEOs who lead the European operations of some of
the world’s largest companies.
With enthusiasm and passion, they advocate for a stronger and more competitive Europe in the global economy. As they tell the story of their own companies, they demonstrate the breadth of their operations in Europe and their positive impact on local communities.

EDSO presents key recommendations for Electricity Market Design trilogues

EDSO for Smart Grids gathers leading European distribution system operators (DSOs) for electricity, cooperating to bring smart grids from vision to reality in Europe and is focused on guiding EU RD&D, policy and member state regulation to support this development.

Distribution system operators (DSOs) are the operating managers of energy distribution networks, operating at low, medium and, in some member states, high voltage levels.

Smart grids are essential to achieving the EU’s ambitious energy and climate objectives to 2020 and beyond.

EDSO is the key-interface between Europe’s DSOs and the European institutions, promoting the development and large-scale testing of smart grid models and technologies in real-life situations, new market designs and regulation.

EDSO believes that the Clean Energy Package is a real opportunity for DSOs to contribute to and meet the challenges of a flexible and highly digitised energy system – mainly as this transition is mostly affecting distribution grids at the local level.

EDSO has summarised its ten key recommendations in an eye-catching leaflet. The publication is the result of the co-creative framework that occurred between the EDSO team and the creative staff of the communication agency, Page in extremis.

The communication agency helps create and develop each of your publications as an appendage of larger strategic communication plans.
