This is the rapporteur's draft report on the Commission proposal for a regulation on non-financial commercial real estate statistics. It adopts a first-reading position and tables amendments to the proposal.¶¶ The amendments require Member States to run pilot studies on vacancy rates and rental yields before 1 January 2028, and add topics such as short-term rentals, prime and non-prime locations, private rental versus social housing, and residential versus non-residential property.¶¶¶ They shorten the maximum duration of derogations for national statistical systems from three years to two, require quarterly transmission of data, and move the application date to 30 June 2026.¶¶¶ They also require the Commission to consult the European Central Bank when preparing delegated and implementing acts in its fields of competence.¶¶

She supports pilot studies on rental yield indices and vacancy rates, consultation of the European Central Bank on delegated and implementing acts, and gradual adaptation by national statistical institutes.¶¶¶
