EEI study report - Can the EU restrict subcontracting? A legal perspective
Promote a new "European Affordable Housing Plan": FIEC calls for a coordinated approach to drive tailor-made housing-friendly reforms under the responsibility and competency of Member States, for the mobilisation of both private and public investment, for prudential rules imposed by Basel III to be eased, in order to mobilise private investment. FIEC also calls for improved access to mortgage loans for households and young people, for a streamlined regulatory and administrative working environment for construction companies, with clear rules which can accelerate construction processes, lower building costs and eventually create overall affordability. FIEC advocates for greater support to research and innovation, as well as digitalisation, through EU funds to increase the productivity of the construction industry. And, furthermore, FIEC calls for all relevant actors to further work on raising the attractivity of the sector to tackle the shortage of skilled labour.
