"Across the EU, there are still too many barriers to trade in the construction sector, resulting in the Member States’ justification of the technical rules put in place to limit the free movement of goods and services.
This fast expanding sector generates 10% of GDP and 50.5% of gross fixed capital. It provides jobs for 12 million EU citizens and 92% of it is made up of small and medium-sized enterprises – the backbone of our economy.
Therefore, I think it is necessary to bring in measures to harmonise the market in these products, as well as to guarantee a high level of health and safety for workers in the sector. In view of the recession – which caused major problems in the sector, including company failures – we need liberalisation measures that will ensure the economic survival of businesses and preserve jobs.
This proposal for a regulation is intended to update, simplify and replace the Construction Products Directive in light of changed circumstances concerning, for example, market surveillance. It also aims to provide greater protection in terms of CE marking, hazardous substances, national product contact points, independence and transparency, health and safety, and e-communication."@en1
