NEWS: What the construction industry wants from the European elections?

Posted by on
The outcome of the upcoming European Parliament elections has significant implications for Europe's political landscape over the next five years. Two critical entities representing the European construction industry and equipment manufacturers are proactively advocating to influence future policies, underscoring the importance of the election's outcome.


In light of the upcoming European Parliament elections, scheduled for June 6-9, 2024, governments worldwide, including those in Europe, are aiming to drastically reduce CO2 emissions to meet the net-zero target by 2050.

The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) and the Committee for European Construction Equipment (CECE) have released their manifestos outlining the significance of their members to Europe and its economy. They also highlight their expectations from Europe's leaders to support their industries after the elections.

While both FIEC and CECE recognize the potential for construction to play a leading role, they also emphasize the need for measures to support construction in assisting Europe in achieving its goals, rather than imposing additional regulations. Additionally, both organizations call on the next generation of MEPs to enhance the competitiveness of the European construction industry.

FIEC, along with the European International Contractors (EIC), highlighted that public procurement procedures in Europe and beyond have hindered the competitiveness of European international contractors, leading to a loss of market share.
