EC Legislation in Construction and Its Effect on the Construction Industry

Abstract

Reviews EC legislation as it affects the construction industry, looking forward to 1993 and the single European market. Looks at the historical background vis‐à‐vis the need to revise directives concerning product, public procurement, professional qualifications, worker and workplace health and safety. Finally, foresees the likely effects on the construction industry of a more Europe‐oriented ambience with increased competition from abroad but with mandatory European standards, especially in the public sector.
