The Federation of Craftspeople issued a press release expressing satisfaction with the government's acknowledgment of the crisis in the construction industry, as outlined in Prime Minister Luc Frieden's recent government statement.

The Federation particularly commends the proactive approach taken by the government in addressing the "serious and urgent" challenges facing the industry. For the Federation, the aim should be to safeguard employment in the construction sector by introducing, among other things, tax incentives to stimulate investment in residential construction.

In addition, the Federation appreciates the commitment to reducing the administrative burden associated with building permits. The move is part of the government's broader strategy of expanding and supporting the energy transition, which also encompasses electromobility.
