This Declaration calls for a more ambitious EU budget for transport in the next multi-annual financial framework (MFF post-2020) considering altogether the needs to and strong added value of investing in this field.

FIEC President Kjetil Tonning participated in a session dedicated to transport digitalisation.
At this occasion, he recalled the fast growing importance of digitalisation in the construction sector and namely for the development of smart infrastructure (e.g. connected roads). He also advocated for a closer collaborative working between all players in the value chain, from the contractors to the transport operators.
Finally, he highlighted that FIEC is partner of the campaign #moreEUbudget4transport which calls for an ambitious EU budget for transport after 2020
