Goals / Remit
COBATY International is the international organisation for Construction, Urban planning and the Environment which brings together professionals making up the built environment. It was born out of the French association COBATY France, which was itself created more than 50 years ago by people who wanted to favour exchange over confrontation.
The association brings together professions as diverse as architects, lawyers, financiers, engineers, contractors, surveyors as well as representatives of the public sector or the mixed economy, which enables the implementation of an approach aimed at improving the built environment through a permanent dialogue between these professionals and a privileged dialogue with public authorities. COBATY International, claims its independence and asserts itself as an apolitical, non-corporate and non-denominational association.Main EU files targeted

COBATY relève du secteur de "l'acte de bâtir".
A ce titre les domaines qui sont de nature à l'intéresser sont principalement
- le Marché intérieur et ses différentes composantes autour des marchés publics, concessions, réciprocité, services d'intérêt général, ...
- l'énergie autour de la "performance énergétique"
- l'environnement autour de l'économie circulaire, ..
- les politiques d'entreprise, autour des problématiques de la normalisation européenne
La prise en compte de toutes ces politiques a amené l'ASBL à se préoccuper de leurs mises en oeuvre dans une majorité d'Etats de l'UE mais également au sein de territoires spécifiques, par la mise en oeuvre de projet " d'autonomie énergétique" comme ceux des RUP françaises en particulier Marie-Galante.
