Interview with FIEC DG Domenico Campogrande "ReBuild Ukraine" and Warsaw Recovery Construction Forum - article on HUFFPOST IT

In his interview released to Italian Journalist Lorenzo Santucci in the Huffington Post (HUFFPOST IT), FIEC Director General, Domenico Campogrande, provided a detailed overview on the reconstruction of Ukraine and the role of both the EU and Italy in supporting the country and starting prompt collaboration for contruction businesses and services interested in investing in the "World's largest construction site".

Campogrande explained how preparation for the recovery and reconstruction phases should be approached in feasible terms and by taking into account that "Rebuilding Ukraine" is a challenge to be undertaken in accordance with EU standards in terms of technical, social and environmental aspects (such as energy efficiency of buildings, urban planning, smart mobility), and with an open eye on issues related to political governance. All these points are being duly tackled by the work of the Task Force "Ukraine", set up by FIEC and EIC (European International Constractors) and have been closely monitored while conceiving a set of recommended principles that should guide the country’s reconstruction.

This news story also casts light on the key outcomes of the Recovery Construction Forum (Warsaw, 15th February 2023), which tabled discussions aimed at further strengthening the communication and the contacts among the construction industries of the European countries to accelerate the reconstruction of Ukrainian affected communities. A case of best practice among FIEC's members is the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between ANCE (National association of Builders, FIEC's Italian member federation) and CBU (FIEC's Ukrainian member federation).
