Traduction de «Canadian Trade in Technology - Intensive Manufacturers » (Anglais → Français) :

Europe needs to increase investment at Union level to maintain European leadership and competence in manufacturing technologies and make the transition to high-value, knowledge-intensive goods, creating the conditions and assets for sustainable production and provision of lifetime service around a manufactured product.

This will be done inter alia by leveraging key enabling technologies in order to achieve more knowledge-intensive, sustainable, resource- and energy-efficient trans-sectoral manufacturing and processing technologies, resulting in more innovative products, processes and services.

Mr. Chairman, members, the Canadian textile industry is a modern, technology- and capital-intensive manufacturing industry.

We have to make sure that those trade agreements are enforced effectively. Dumping, counterfeit product, fraudulently marked products coming into Canada, and subsidization are all major problems for a number of industries, not only textiles and bicycle manufacturing, but steel and aerospace and some of the higher-value technology-intensive sectors of Canadian industry. ...[+++]

I laugh sometimes when I hear the OECD refer to certain sectors in manufacturing as labour-intensive versus technology-intensive companies, and then refer to paper or chemicals, or distilling, for that matter, as labour-intensive.
