Ahead of the joint Zagreb Conference held on 19th March (Press Release here), we seized a good opportunity to meet Hans De Koning, Chairman of FIEC Working Group "Public Procurement", and pose a few questions on some challenging topics in the area of EU public procurement and the revision of the legislative framework in the light of the new 'semplification' era.

This interview also tackles the need for more effective rules for the construction sector to combat unfair competition from third country companies. And furthermore, we asked Mr De Koning to voice the construction sector's views on the European Commission's forthcoming initiatives addressing foreign subsidies, as well as the introduction of Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) criteria in public procurement.
