The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) welcomes the initiative of a Circular Economy Act aimed at supporting the creation of a functioning and effective EU single market for waste and secondary materials. Circularity is a key driver of the sustainable transition and decarbonisation in construction, and it must be both strengthened and accelerated.

What they argued
The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) welcomes the general objective of the planned Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act to increase sustainable and resilient industrial production in energy-intensive industrial sectors in the EU by supporting decarbonisation investments.
The Public Procurement Directives govern public works contracts and have grown complex. Several shortcomings have been identified in the current framework such as declining competition and over-reliance on lowest-price criteria. FIEC supports simplifying rules, reducing administrative burdens, and fostering a growth-friendly environment to enhance European competitiveness.
The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) welcomes the call for feedback on the EU Taxonomy Climate and Environmental Delegated Acts. The EU Taxonomy is a key instrument to channel investments towards sustainable economic activities and to support the transition to a climate-neutral economy. The construction sector plays a central role in this transition.

The European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) acknowledges that European standardisation legislation is playing a crucial role in the functioning of the internal market. The Standardisation Regulation establishes the framework for how European standards are developed and how public and private stakeholders collaborate.
In May 2025, the European Commission announced in the Single Market Strategy that a Construction Services Act to lower barriers to cross-border market access for construction and installation services would be presented. DG Grow, leading the work on this file, published in November 2025 a Call for evidence for an impact assessment, outlining the political context and the different policy options.
Over the past decade, the European construction sector has faced increasing competition from third-country bidders, in particular State-Owned Enterprises from China, which have secured major public infrastructure contracts in the European Union by submitting what seem to be abnormally low bids that no private company would be able to put forward.
