The session explored how public procurement can be reformed to better facilitate the access of small contractors, artisans, and craft businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Petrucco was joined by a distinguished panel including Philip van Nieuwenhuizen, President of EBC, Jean-Yves Muylle, Head of Unit at the European Commission\u2019s DG GROW, and Sara Funaro, Mayor of Florence and Executive Committee Member of Eurocities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A balanced approach to procurement reform<\/strong><br \/>\nPresident Petrucco highlighted the need to reduce administrative burdens, ensure proportional selection criteria, and better promote tools like the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) and joint bidding mechanisms. He also emphasised that subcontracting and contract splitting should remain flexible tools, not rigid obligations \u2014 especially in the context of growing skills shortages and complex infrastructure needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safeguarding quality and fair competition<\/strong><br \/>\nMr Petrucco reiterated FIEC\u2019s support for a more value-driven procurement model, encouraging the use of qualitative criteria (such as sustainability and innovation) while warning against the risk of distorted competition from unfair third-country practices and the misuse of in-house awards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working towards inclusive and sustainable markets<\/strong><br \/>\nThe panel offered a constructive dialogue on how EU procurement rules can better serve a diverse business landscape. FIEC remains committed to promoting a fair, strategic, and inclusive procurement framework, ensuring that companies of all sizes can contribute to building a more sustainable and resilient Europe.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568973883443{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36984\" src=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC.Concrete-Europe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"382\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC.Concrete-Europe.jpg 382w, https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC.Concrete-Europe-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"null\">FIEC speaks at Concrete Europe conference on affordable housing<\/h3>\n<p>On 12 June, the Chair of FIEC Working Group &#8220;Housing&#8221;, Jo\u00ebl Schons, intervened in a roundtable on affordable housing organised by Concrete Europe.<\/p>\n<p>During the lively exchanges, Schons pointed out that the digitalisation of the construction industry is the first key to increasing productivity and hence, housing supply. This includes a shift to full digitalisation of building permits as well. He added that the EU shall absolutely refrain from regulating more and take a neutral approach to construction materials and methods. Questioned on the financial aspect of the matter, Schons insisted that private money shall be activated via the multiplier effect of public\/EU money. He added that the EU should look at current prudential rules which have the detrimental effect to consider housing projects as risky projects. It is consequently very difficult for developers and construction companies to get loans from banks.<\/p>\n<p>On his side, Philippe Moseley, member of the Cabinet of EU Commissioner Dan J\u00f8rgensen, recalled that the European Commission\u2019s goal, in cooperation with the European Parliament, is to support Member States to act at their national level, including with the implementation of housing-related EU policies, with a view of achieving affordable, sustainable and decent housing \u2013 both new and renovated.<br \/>\nHe announced that a broad public consultation will start towards the end of June.<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#e40613\" width=\"150\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiec.eu\/application\/files\/3217\/3436\/2843\/2024-12-16__FIEC_Position_on_Housing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>FIEC POSITION<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568973883443{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36986\" src=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-E-Declaration-for-Posting-of-Workers.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-E-Declaration-for-Posting-of-Workers.png 400w, https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-E-Declaration-for-Posting-of-Workers-300x196.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"null\">FIEC takes position on E-declaration for Posting of Workers<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Earlier this month, FIEC adopted a position on the European Commission\u2019s proposal for a Regulation on a public interface connected to the IMI (International Market Information) for the Declaration of Posting of Workers (COM(2024)531), also known as \u201cE-declaration\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In this position, FIEC focuses on four aspects of the proposal. First, in general terms, FIEC supports the digitalisation of administrative processes and procedures in order to reduce construction companies\u2019 administrative burden. Second, regarding the voluntary nature of the proposed scheme, FIEC considers that it is good that those Member States that wish to can keep their own well-developed and effective national system. Third, concerning the content of the standard form to be used on the interface, FIEC advocates that this list should be a minimum and non-exhaustive, including some mandatory information requirements, while allowing Member States to independently add information requirements necessary for effective monitoring and enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, FIEC stresses that it is important to ensure coherency among the \u201cE-declaration\u201d and sectorial social ID cards, as well as the various ongoing digitalisation initiatives of the European Commission, in particular EESSI (Electronic Exchange of Social Security Information) and ESSPASS (European Social Security Pass).<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#e40613\" width=\"150\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiec.eu\/fiec-opinions\/position-papers-pl\/proposal-regulation-public-interface-connected-imi-declaration-posting-workers-com2024531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>FIEC POSITION<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568973883443{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36988\" src=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-SIDE-CIC-project.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-SIDE-CIC-project.jpg 400w, https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-SIDE-CIC-project-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>SIDE CIC project: Final Conference, 10 June<\/h3>\n<p>On 10 June, FIEC and EFBWW held the final conference of the SIDE-CIC project in Brussels. Since its launch two years ago, the SIDE-CIC project co-funded by the EU has mapped existing national social-ID card schemes and assessed the technical and legal challenges to interoperability. The project builds on prior work by the social partners and reflects their strong commitment to improving transparency, compliance, and worker rights in a highly mobile industry.<\/p>\n<p>During the event, the main findings of the mapping exercise and the results of the legal and technical feasibility studies were presented, which examined different scenarios for ensuring interoperability of social ID cards across Member States.<\/p>\n<p>In his closing remarks, Laurentiu Plosceanu, FIEC Vice-President for Communication &amp; Enlargement, highlighted the project\u2019s success and the value of social dialogue: &#8220;We now have a clear overview of national systems, and the feasibility studies offer a solid basis for discussing future options. This project is a concrete example of how sectoral social dialogue can deliver forward-looking, practical outcomes that support fair mobility and enforcement across the EU.&#8221;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"middle\" bgcolor=\"#e40613\" width=\"150\" height=\"35\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiec.eu\/our-projects\/current-projects\/side-cic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Read more<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_bottom=&#8221;50&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1568973883443{margin-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36990\" src=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-Green-Reconstruction-of-Ukraine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-Green-Reconstruction-of-Ukraine.jpg 450w, https:\/\/pedmede.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/FIEC-Green-Reconstruction-of-Ukraine-300x249.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"null\">9 July, Rome &#8211; &#8220;The Green Reconstruction of Ukraine&#8221;: URC 2025 side event<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>On 9 July, in Rome, FIEC will co-organise\u00a0a high-level side event in the framework of the\u00a0<em>Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025<\/em>, together\u00a0with ANCE (Italian member of FIEC, Associazione Nazionale Costruttoti Edili), EIC (European International Contractors), CBU (Ukrainian member of FIEC, Confederation of Builders of Ukraine), and in cooperation with Neo-Eco Ukraine.
