Summary
The document does not provide for a general ban on local accommodation, but lays down criteria for determining when restrictive measures may be adopted by national, regional or local authorities, as has been advocated by European Commissioner for Protection, Dan Jørgensen. The European Housing Commissioner, Dan Jørgensen, has been warning of the impact of the growth of short-term housing on the housing markets of some cities, defending a European response to cases where this activity contributes to aggravating prices or reducing supply to residents. The guarded for months and included in the Community executive's response to the current EU housing crisis, the new Accessible Housing Act aims to establish common criteria for determining when an area faces a situation of "household pressure" and under what conditions measures may be adopted that affect short-term housing, according to a draft to which the Lusa agency had access.
Furthermore, The objective is also to reduce legal uncertainty as Member States use different criteria to determine when an area is under housing pressure and when market restrictions can be justified. The proposal will be submitted on Wednesday and will still have to be discussed by the Member States and the European Parliament. For Brussels, restrictions do not allow the structural causes of housing shortages to be resolved, which is why only quantitative limits or transitional rules are laid down in the proposal, which should be accompanied by measures aimed at increasing supply, in particular through the construction and rehabilitation of housing and the simplification of licensing procedures.

The European Commission will present on Wednesday a proposal to create common rules allowing Member States and local authorities of the European Union (EU) to regulate short-term accommodation, such as Airbnb, in areas under housing pressure.
