The European Union Road Federation (ERF), the Confederation of International Contractors’ Associations (CICA), the French Federation for Public Works (FNTP), Routes de France and FIEC have joined forces to produce a benchmark study entitled “Mobility and Recovery in Europe: Impacts of the Covid-19 crisis”. Amongst other things, the study screens national recovery and resilience plans with respect to public expenditure for transport infrastructure.

On 22 September, FIEC and EFBWW will launch their new joint EU project “FELM” – for a better Functioning of the European Labour Market.
The starting point of this project is the common acknowledgement of the growing number of third country national companies and workers on the European construction labour market.
The main objective of the project is to assess the specific (social and economic) challenges linked to this new situation and potentially present a series of recommendations.
The project will last until Spring 2023.

As a Member of the Platform on Sustainable Finance, FIEC adopted a one-pager on the EU Taxonomy and what it means for the construction sector. With FIEC mainly working on the future technical screening criteria, this paper now deals with the broader picture. As the EU Taxonomy will become a reality in 2022, we are outlining the opportunities and risks it entails for our sector.
