This is the rapporteur's draft report on the Commission proposal for a regulation on data collection and sharing for short-term accommodation rental services, amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1724. It adopts a first-reading position with amendments to the proposal. The amendments require hosts to provide a valid registration number before a unit can be listed, and require platforms to prevent listings without one. Competent authorities gain powers to suspend or withdraw registration numbers and order platforms to remove illegal listings. Platforms must transmit activity data, the detailed address of the unit, the registration number and the listing URL monthly to the Single Digital Entry Point, with quarterly transmission for small or micro platforms. Member States must publish lists of areas with authorisation schemes or where short-term rental is not permitted. The draft shortens the Commission's evaluation period from 5 to 3 years and the date of application from 24 to 12 months after entry into force.

Committee position. The rapporteur welcomes the Commission proposal and proposes amendments to clarify registration procedures, reinforce platform obligations on illegal listings, give competent authorities more powers, and shorten the evaluation period and date of application.

Key points

  1. The draft adopts Parliament's first-reading position on the proposed regulation on data collection and sharing for short-term accommodation rental services.
  2. Recital 1 is amended to state that the growth of short-term rentals removes long-term housing from the market and drives up rents and housing prices.
  3. Recital 2 is amended to note that a number of platforms refuse to comply with data-sharing obligations and suspend or withdraw listings.
  4. A new recital states that the regulation is without prejudice to other reporting or registration obligations under Union law on taxation, population registration or statistics, and to national residency or tenancy law.
  5. Hosts must provide the detailed address of the unit, including floor, apartment or mailbox number and cadastral reference, and indicate whether an authorisation has been granted.
  6. Competent authorities may suspend the validity of a registration number and ask the host to rectify information within a period they specify; if the host fails to rectify, they may withdraw the number and order platforms to remove the listing.
  7. Platforms must inform hosts of applicable registration procedures, authorisation schemes and zone bans, and must require a valid registration number before allowing a listing in an area where a registration procedure applies.
  8. Platforms must prevent listings without a valid registration number and make reasonable efforts to randomly check the validity of registration numbers at least quarterly.
  9. Platforms must transmit activity data per unit, the detailed address, the registration number and the listing URL monthly to the Single Digital Entry Point; small or micro platforms below a monthly average of 2 500 active hosts transmit quarterly.
  10. Member States must publish lists of areas where an authorisation scheme applies and areas where offering short-term accommodation rental services is not permitted.
  11. Competent authorities may retain activity data for no longer than 2 years after receipt.
  12. The Commission must evaluate the regulation no later than 3 years after the date of application, and the regulation applies from 12 months after entry into force.
