Norwegians join European Property Federation

The Norwegian Property Federation has joined Brussels-based umbrella organisation European Property Federation.

Stein Olaf Onarheim and Thor Olaf Askjer, chairman and president of Norsk Eiendom, or the Norwegian Property Federation (NPF), said: 'EU regulation now has a big impact on real estate and most of it becomes Norwegian law. Through our membership of EPF, we look forward to participating in the EU policy process while it is still possible to shape events.

John Frederiksen, Joseph Houlihan and Michael MacBrien, President, chairman of the managing committee and director general of EPF added: 'NPF has 120 members including all the biggest property investment and development companies owning and managing 30 million m² of commercial property. EPF now completes its already vast Nordic membership'.

The European Property Federation represents all aspects of property ownership and investment in Europe. Its members own and manage property assets valued at EUR 1.5 tln.
