2025 will undoubtedly remain a year of celebration. FIEC will mark its 120th anniversary and our Romanian member federation, ARACO, celebrates its 35 years of construction 'life': an important voice for the sector in Romania and a promoter of strengthening the global competitiveness of the European construction industry.

To congratulate on this special recurrence and to highlight the importance of working together toward common goals, FIEC Director General, Domenico Campogrande, shared a message published by the specialised construction magazine "Revista Constructiilor".

"For the 35 years of ARACO, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations, both personally and on behalf of all FIEC members. Reaching such an important milestone is clear evidence of ARACO’s enduring relevance, its solid membership base and its recognized role as the leading voice for the construction sector in Romania", said Campogrande.

About ARACO 

ARACO became a member of FIEC in June 1995, demonstrating its commitment to aligning itself with the European integration process - not only politically, but also at a sectoral level - in order to fully benefit from these developments.

Today, Laurentiu Plosceanu, President of ARACO, also holds the position of FIEC Vice-President for Communication & Enlargement and represents Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia within the FIEC Steering Committee.

"Being in Brussels does not only mean physical proximity to the EU institutions. It also means the ability to monitor and influence the EU decision-making process. Let's not forget that approximately 75% of national legislation comes directly or indirectly from European regulations" - highlighted Campogrande in his message.

We count on ARACO to continue its valuable contribution to FIEC as it has done in the last 30 years of membership.
