Integrating the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR) into the Housing Construction Strategy for a Competitive, Digital, and Sustainable EU Built Environment

The document titled Integrating the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR) into the Housing Construction Strategy provides strategic input to the European Commission on how digitalisation, sustainability, and competitiveness in the EU’s built environment can be enhanced through the implementation of a trusted, interoperable digital infrastructure. It proposes integrating the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR)’a decentralised, blockchain-based verification system’into the housing construction value chain to streamline building permits, improve construction productivity, support circular economy practices, and ensure environmental compliance. By leveraging global identifiers (LEI/vLEI) and linking with systems like the Digital Product Passport (DPP) and CBAM, EUTIR aims to create a secure, machine-readable, and cross-border recognised framework that accelerates project delivery, reduces costs, and supports the EU’s green and digital transition in the construction sector.
