The evaluation of the 2014 Public Procurement Directives (SWD (2025) 332) found that the intended objectives were only partially achieved and several problems persist: Legal clarity and flexibility have not improved, new sector-specific rules have made the legal framework more complex, increased transparency, but corruption risks and data gaps persist, competitiveness can be further improved, direct cross-border…

Public Procurement Actfiled 22 Jan 2026source

The Federal Chamber of Architects (Bundesarchitektenkammer – BAK) welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to revise EU public procurement rules. Public procurement can make a significant contribution to achieving strategic objectives. In practice, however, it appears that the existing directives have so far achieved only limited potential in terms of procurement of planning services. 1.

The Federal Chamber of Architects (BundesArchitektenkammer — BAK) is of the opinion that the issue of renovation, conversion and further use of existing buildings should be given greater priority over the issue of new buildings, as there is considerable potential for energy savings, efficiency gains and the use of renewable energy sources that still needs to be mobilised for climate protection.

Skills Portabilty Actfiled 26 Feb 2026PDFsource

For architects, automatic recognition under Directive 2005/36/EC works very well. The recognition rate of around 94 % demonstrates the functioning of the system.

Affordable Housing Actfiled 3 Apr 2026PDFsource

Europe faces a structural housing crisis driven by a systemic imbalance between housing demand and supply. The Federal Chamber of Architects (BAK) supports the objective of the Affordable Housing Act to establish a coherent, data-based EU framework enabling authorities to identify areas under housing stress and take proportionate measures. Such a framework must reflect the complexity of the housing system.

Housing simplification packagefiled 30 Sept 2026PDFsource

The BAK supports the European Commission’s objective of making housing simpler, faster and more affordable. Simplification must not be equated with one-size-fits-all deregulation. What matters is where the burden arises: EU law, national transposition, enforcement or private standards. Changes should be made where avoidable costs, multiple proofs or delays are justified.
