European-level advocacy through UEG
In 2008, European scaffolding manufacturers and contractors founded a common interest organization, UEG, to protect the interests of the entire scaffolding industry. The abbreviation comes from the name The Union of European Scaffolding Contractors.
UEG has scaffolding industry and construction associations from 12 European countries as members. Talonrakennusteollisuus ry (General Contractors of Finland) became a member of the organization in 2013.
At the European level, UEG's main tasks are, among other things:
