As European citizens were called upon to vote for the renewal of the European Parliament in the poll scheduled for June 6-9, 2024, the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC), which brings together 32 national federations in 27 European countries, unveiled its proposals for the 2024-2029 term.
The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) was founded in 1905. Through its 32 national member federations in 27 European countries (24 EU plus Norway, Switzerland and Ukraine), it represents construction companies of all sizes (from individual craftsmen and SMEs to large international companies), in all building and civil engineering specialties, using all kinds of working methods (whether operating as main contractors or subcontractors).
FIEC strives to represent and promote the interests of the European construction industry to European institutions, while helping to increase awareness of the sector among policy-makers and the general public. This involves promoting sustainable development in the construction sector to facilitate the implementation of the green transition and thus achieve the objectives of the EU Green Deal; a public procurement system that guarantees a real level playing field for all EU construction companies; a sustainable transport and energy infrastructure network to support the EU's medium- and long-term growth; and worker protection, to improve working conditions, health and safety, and training.
FIEC also facilitates cooperation and the exchange of best practices between members and other players in the ecosystem, such as architects, engineers, product and machine manufacturers.

The institutions of the European Union play an increasingly important role in the lives of member states. This role is essentially exercised through three channels: Community law, essentially in the form of directives and regulations; European funding; and European "soft law", such as communications, action plans, guidelines and best practices, whose influence is non-negligible.
