The Malta Developers Association  intends to become a member of the European Union of Developers and House Builders (UEPC) to lobby officially at a European level in the interest of its members.

UEPC president Jean-Paul Florentin has been in Malta as the guest of the Malta Developers Association this week. He held discussions with the MDA on the possibility of the association becoming a UEPC member, as well on the situation of developers in Malta and in other EU countries.

UEPC was set up in 1948 and has over 30,000 member developers and house builders in Europe.

Its members’ economic activity represents 10 per cent of Europe’s GDP and a high proportion of employment.

The current slogan of the UEPC is ‘Building the Future, Restoring the Past’. The UEPC is in favour of restoring old buildings and encouraging state incentives for these buildings to be  rehabilitated since a lot of energy is lost from these buildings, which were not build to cater for the current directives on energy efficiency in buildings.
