    European Commission pushes Member States to stop gold-plating

    European Commissioner Dombrovskis addressed the European Parliament plenary on gold-plating, warning that when Member States add stricter or broader requirements while transposing EU law, it distorts competition, raises compliance costs especially for SMEs, and discourages cross-border activity. The Commission will work with Member States on better detection, follow-up and prevention, prepare a best-practice toolkit, and has circulated questionnaires to Member States and stakeholders.

    EU adopts Affordable Housing Act framework

    The European Commission adopted the Affordable Housing Act on 9 September 2026, creating a legal framework for Member States and cities to address housing pressure. For the first time it sets technical criteria to define areas under housing stress, enabling local authorities to restrict non-primary-residence uses such as short-term rentals and second homes where justified, necessary and proportionate. Decisions remain with national and local authorities. A Recommendation on housing affordability and supply accompanies the Act, covering planning, renovation, repurposing and investment.

    New EU rules to help local authorities tackle housing crisis

    The European Commission proposed the Affordable Housing Act to help Member States and cities address housing affordability and availability. It gives public authorities legal certainty to act within EU law, requiring measures such as short-term rental restrictions to be evidence-based, necessary and proportionate. Authorities must show short-term rental activity has had a significant adverse effect on affordability or availability for at least three years and that less restrictive measures would not be equally effective. The Act also covers second homes and prolonged vacancy, and is accompanied by a Recommendation to increase housing supply.

    Q&A on the Affordable Housing Act: short-term rentals and housing stress

    The European Commission published a Q&A on the Affordable Housing Act, explaining its background and short-term rental impact. A June 2025 Eurobarometer found 40% of Europeans see affordable housing as an immediate and urgent problem where they live, rising to 51% in cities. Between 2018 and 2024, short-term rental activity across the four major platforms grew 93%. The Act provides a common framework to identify areas under housing stress, enabling targeted local measures, while decisions remain with Member States and local authorities. It does not ban short-term rentals or give the EU competence over housing.

    EASA and IATA Sign MoU to Harmonize Air Travel Emissions Calculations

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore synergies between the EU Flight Emissions Label (FEL) and IATA's environmental data ecosystem—EcoHub and the CO2 Connect calculator. The goal is to streamline processes so CO2 emissions data is visible and consistent for passengers at the time of booking. The FEL stems from an EU regulation launched in 2024 under EASA's responsibility; airlines from both EU and non-EU countries covered by Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 'ReFuelEU Aviation' can voluntarily join, and only participating airlines may display emissions to passengers in the EU.
