Noi restricții pentru Airbnb în Europa. Comisia Europeană intervine în criza locuințelor

The European Commission has proposed new regulations to address the housing crisis in tourist-heavy cities, impacting platforms like Airbnb. The aim is to standardize rules across the EU, as cities like Paris and Barcelona have implemented varying measures to limit short-term rentals. This surge in tourist accommodations has led to a decrease in affordable housing, prompting protests from residents, particularly young people. Ursula von der Leyen emphasized the need for clarity and support for local authorities. The proposal includes a framework for assessing housing measures and requires data-driven restrictions on short-term rentals, applicable only in affected areas. Local authorities will determine the necessity of such measures and are encouraged to facilitate housing construction.
