Embuild welcomes the ESRS revision and acknowledges EFRAG's simplification efforts. However, it stresses that the construction sector's structural specificities dispersed and temporary sites, cascading subcontracting, short project timelines, and dependence on clients for design are not adequately reflected in the current proposal.

Embuild is the main professional federation representing the construction sector in Belgium. It brings together more than 16.000 companies active across building, civil engineering, and specialised construction activities. Hereunder are Embuild's key messages: 1. The delegated act anticipates European requirements that have not yet been transposed into national law.
The EU's regulatory framework for environment and land use (SEA/EIA Directives, the Nature Restoration Law, and the Soil Monitoring Law) was designed with legitimate environmental goals in mind. However, as currently drafted and implemented, these frameworks impose overlapping assessments, rigid principles, and disproportionate administrative burdens on the construction sector.
The construction sector is mainly made up of small and medium-sized enterprises operating at local level. Cross-border activity in this area has significant specificities compared to other sectors. The main administrative obstacles to international development do not necessarily stem from national permits, construction site requirements or regulated professions.
