CEDEFOP
Historical buildings are among the most important elements of our ar­
chitectural heritage, maintaining and preserving which has been a pri­
ority task for the Member States of the European Community since the
early 1980s. As a result, the rehabilitation of old buildings and
preservation of historical monuments already accounts for an average of
about 50% of the work of the Community's construction industry today.
However, the proficient restoration of structures built in previous
centuries to their original state calls for specific skills that are
now rarely or inadequately acquired during initial training for occupa­
tions in the construction industry.
Furthermore, as the architectural heritage spans some 2,000 years and
therefore encompasses a wide range of building styles and methods, the
skills required for its repair and preservation are extremely varied
and complex. They range from manual skills, many of which have been
forgotten and have to be relearnt, to the latest technologies used, for
example, to analyse old building materials, past application techniques
and damage to buildings and to record the static and structural fea­
tures of historical structures.
On the basis of the "occupational profiles in the European Community"
methodology that is currently being used experimentally, CEDEFOP has
examined this range of skills in the most important occupational fields
- bricklaying, stonemasonry and cutting, plastering, tile-laying,
carpentry, plumbing, glazing, metal-working, electrical work, painting,
roofing, joinery, design and development and laboratory work - in five
Member States (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom).
The reports were based on a jointly discussed and tested outline (see
annex) covering the whole range of activities possibly required, to
which the relevant vocational qualifications were to be ascribed, thus
ensuring that the findings presented in the studies would be generally
comparable.
In view of the major differences in the participating Member States'
national and regional legislation on the protection of historical monu­
ments and the rehabilitation of old buildings, in the structural fea­
tures of their construction industries, in their historical buildings
and in the initial and continuing training they provide, the outline
was, however, bound to be used differently in the various countries.
Another factor to be considered in this context is the wide variation
in the findings produced by the empirical surveys of the construction
industry, official supervision and monitoring of building activities
and building research. There has so far been little empirically valid
research on the activities required of specific trades at different
types of building site - the construction of new buildings, rehabilita­
tion and restoration - and the skills consequently required of the
building workers concerned. VI
The aspects of occupational profiles common and peculiar to the various
Member States will, however, be itemized in a summary report.
The five country reports will be published in English and French and in
the original language.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the authors for the
lengths to which they have gone in coping with this complex and often
obscure area of research. As they have also been breaking new ground,
they have had very little pertinent literature to fall back on. The
studies that have so far appeared in the Member States have been con­
fined to specific occupations in the construction industry as a whole,
without any distinction by type of building site. We would also like
to thank Wolfdietrich Elbert, Director of the European Centre for
Training Craftsmen in the Conservation of the Architectural Heritage,
for attending all the working meetings this project has entailed and
giving us the benefit of his many years of international experience in
this field.
We hope the Member States we have been unable to include in this proj­
ect for budgetary reasons will be encouraged by these studies to under­
take similar research. We are particularly hopeful that the shortcom­
ings in initial and continuing training to which all the studies refer
will cause the appropriate decision-makers to give the matter some
thought.
An immediately tangible result seems certain, however: transnational
exchange and cooperation projects will be greatly facilitated, if not
encouraged, if the transparency of occupational profiles and training
measures and of their socio-cultural and economic environment can be
ensured.

Comments on publication
The» large number of existing reports in three or four languages
(14 altogether) have made it necessary to publish several
reports of the same language in one volume for organizational
and economic reasons. The following list shows which reports
have been collected in one volume or published separately.
I. in German :
1. Federal Republic of Germany
2. Synthesis report
II. in English :
1. Belgium
2. Federal Republic of Germany/France/Italy
3. Synthesis report
III. in French:
1. Belgium
2. Federal Rpublic of Germany/France/Italy
3. Synthesis report
IV. in Italian:
1. Italy/France
These publication arrangements also take into account the dates
thf* documents or their translations were ready for publication.
