CEMBUREAU attends construction information platform Steering Group meeting

CEMBUREAU attended the Construction Information Platform’s Steering Group on 22 January to discuss the provision of a tool to facilitate access to EU information relevant to the construction sector. The web-based tool, to be called "constructioneurope.eu", has already undergone pilot development. The aim now is to upgrade certain features such as the search function, widen the information available to include information from Member States and practical information for SMEs, expand the service to 9 languages and migrate the tool to the Europa server. Industry experts, such as CEMBUREAU’s Intelligence Unit, will test the new pilot portal. An Interim Report is scheduled for May 2010, with a final report in October – November 2010.
