Most construction enterprises operate primarily within regional and national markets due to factors like language, technical standards, and cultural nuances. However, as key participants in the European Single Market, construction SMEs are significantly impacted by EU-wide legislation.
EBC champions an SME-friendly business environment and emphasizes the need to consider the unique characteristics of the construction sector in EU policies. By supporting tailored policies, EBC ensures that horizontal legislation aligns with the needs of construction SMEs and craftsmen.
