Europe looks outwards [full item: 37Re]
European Union (EU) infrastructure development and development aid werediscussed by some 150 industry representatives at a new industry forum inBrussels on 24 February 2005. Entitled The role of European consultants in theimplementation of EU development policy, the forum was organized by theEuropean Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations (EFCA). To meetthe challenges of population growth and global warming, more European
consulting firms will have to become global players. They will also need to evolve,
for despite the coupling of infrastructure development with institutional reformand economic and social development, the consulting industry is still too
technically focused.
The European Commission is looking at ways to work more closely with theprivate sector to achieve higher quality outcomes. Public Private Partnering andother forms of project delivery that enhance collaboration are yielding improved
outcomes, particularly in the public sector, since firms and project objectives canbe more accurately assessed and more creative solutions put forward. The

CoursesponsorContracts
seminarCommission aims is to streamline procedures and to identify appropriate
incentives without compromising quality. Financial institutions also increasingly
recognise that cost-based procurement coupled with greater transparency often
generates excessive red tape resulting in poor quality and lack of innovation, withfewer firms offering their expertise to EU-funded projects. Similar issues weretaken up by FIDIC at the biennial Meeting of the International Lending Agencies
with the Consulting Industry (BIMILACI'05; Washington DC; 7-8 April 2005; see
FIDIC.org/bimilaci).
Business practiceRegional initiatives generate more sustainable industries [full item: 60Pr]
In speaking to the annual conference of FIDIC Group of African Member
Associations (GAMA; Kampala, 14-17 March 2005), Richard Kell, FIDIC President,
reminded participants that a nation's private sector consulting engineering
industry represents a sustainable resource which makes a significant contribution Guide toPractice
to wealth and stability. Experience elsewhere showed that regional networking
which capitalises on regional synergies made national industries more sustainable. manualWith the African Union and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) ORDER NOW
as the catalysts, African consulting engineering is poised for a significant leap
forward, and capable of developing the keystones to the future, namely quality,
integrity and sustainability. FIDIC and its regional groupings create networking
Contracts
and alliancing opportunities, and benefit from speaking with one voice. It wascoursetherefore appropriate and timely that these opportunities be discussed at events
Jamaica Infosuch as the GAMA annual conference.
ORDER NOWThe President also recalled that FIDIC was committed to building a consulting
engineering industry in every country, and has developed appropriate policies.
However, action must be coordinated between national governments, funding
agencies, investors and international and local firms. See FIDIC.org/GAMA for
reports of the conference and the GAMA General Assembly. The President also
contributed to a GAMA training workshop on risk management and value-added
consulting before visiting Member Associations in Kenya and Tanzania.

ORDER NOWA front page article titled "Law firms hit by tort reforms" in the
28 January 2005 issue of The Australian Financial Review,
Australia's leading daily financial newspaper, brought music tothe ears of consulting engineers. It said: "Changes to the(Australian) state and federal legal system to ease the crisis in
the insurance industry have led to a massive decline in thenumber of cases being fought in the courts. .... The biggest drop
was in New South Wales, the nation's litigation capital, where
District Court claims have fallen by 60 per cent, or 12,600 cases, while civil claims Young
Professionals
in the Magistrates Court have fallen by 13.4 per cent, or 30,500 cases."
Well done Therese Charles (see photo), Chief Executive, ACEA-Australia, and the
ACEA team who played a leading role in the campaign to change the legal system(for details, see www.acea.co.au). ACEA now has to continue the fight, this timewith insurers, as it is "disappointed that there had not been substantial reductionin professional indemnity premiums, particularly for smaller firms."

unnecessarily long and bureaucratic, thereby delaying the supply of vital

infrastructure. The bank plans to streamline procurement procedures and develop seminarprogrammes to enhance the capacity of borrowers. FIDIC will be invited tocomment on the new procedures, and welcomes the opportunity to do so. The
FIDIC delegation comprised Richard Kell, FIDIC President, Dr Jorge Diaz Padilla,
President-Elect, Dr Yumio Iishi, Executive Committee member, and Kok King Min,
immediate past-chair of FIDIC's ASPAC Asia-Pacific group of Member Associations.

FIDIC's Business Integrity Management System (BIMS) is gaining increased
recognition with the bank, to the point that the acknowledgement of a firm's BIMS
in consultant selection is becoming more likely. Other developments included
adoption of new guidelines for consultant selection and for sanctioning firms, andprogress towards harmonisation between the multilateral development banks ofthe debarment and the cross-debarment of firms. Robert Robertson, Director,
ADB Consulting Services Division, described most of these developments in his
presentation at BIMILACI'05 (Washington DC, 7-8 April 2005; see
FIDIC.org/bimilaci). Finally, ADB involvement in post-Tsunami reconstruction will
follow publication of national reconstruction strategies. The ADB has established a

Regional capacity building recognizes FIDIC contracts [full item: 20Im]
The Association of Consulting Engineers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ACEBH) thathas been created with support from an International Finance Corporation (IFC)
Southeast Europe Enterprise Development (SEED; www2.ifc.org/seed) regional
capacity building programme has applied for FIDIC membership. It is a historic
step for the war-torn country since the association is the first to be approved at
the state level. ACEBH currently has 12 member firms with some 150 staff
representing about 50% of the staff for the former Yugoslavia era. The local
industry still reflects a long involvement in overseas development work based ona relatively large construction sector. It aims to build upon this capacity.
Training in FIDIC contracts and procurement procedures has been a core elementof SEED's strategy for introducing global standards for business practice in key
sectors at the firm level. At a FIDIC seminar organized by SEED and ACEBH in
Sarajevo on March 2005, the World Bank, the largest donor, indicated that mostwork is currently internal and donor funded, with commitments being scaled backfrom USD 1000 million USD in 1999 to USD 180 million for 2005. Accession to theEuropean Union is seen as the most valid path forward for the entire western
Balkans, so consolidation of FIDIC capacity building in the region through ACEBH,
CACE-Croatia, and agencies operating in neighbouring countries is a FIDIC
priority. Details of the new association are available via FIDIC.org/regions.
Meanwhile, the IFC indicated during a visit by a FIDIC delegation to the IFC
headquarters in Washington DC that it is interested in rolling out similar
programmes in other regions through its USD 50 million per annum Project
Development Facility (see IFC.org).
