Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) Short-term accommodation rental services offered by hosts have existed for many years as a complement to other accommodation services such as hotels, hostels, or bed and breakfasts. The volume of short-term accommodation rental services is increasing significantly across the Union as a result of the growth of the platform economy. While short-term accommodation rental services create many opportunities for guests, hosts and the entire tourism ecosystem, their rapid growth has also triggered concerns and challenges, in particular for local communities and public authorities, given that it represents one of the main causes of the decrease of available long-term housing on the market and of the increase in rents and housing prices, and can have a negative impact on liveability in urban and tourist centres. One of the main challenges is the lack of reliable information about short-term accommodation rental services, such as the identity of the host, the location where those services are being offered, and their duration, making it difficult for authorities to assess the impact of short-term accommodation rental services and develop and enforce appropriate and proportionate policy responses.

The volume of short-term accommodation rental services is increasing significantly across the Union as a result of the growth of the platform economy. Some platforms have been operating within a frame of non- compliance and lack of cooperation and respect for laws and rules. While short- term accommodation rental services create many opportunities for guests, hosts and the entire tourism ecosystem, their rapid growth has also triggered concerns and challenges, in particular for local communities and public authorities. One of the main challenges is the lack of reliable information about short-term accommodation rental services, such as the identity of the host, the location where those services are being offered, and their duration, making it difficult for authorities to assess the impact of short-term accommodation rental services and develop and enforce appropriate and proportionate policy responses.

(2) Public authorities at national, regional and local level are increasingly taking measures to obtain information from hosts and online short-term rental platforms, by imposing registration schemes and other transparency requirements, including on online short- term rental platforms. However, legal obligations regarding data generation and data sharing diverge considerably within and between Member States as regards their scope and frequency, as well as in terms of related procedures. The large majority of online platforms intermediating the provision of short-term accommodation rental services provide their services across borders and indeed across the internal market. As a result of diverging transparency requirements and the refusal by some platforms to comply with existing obligations for data sharing and suspending or withdrawing listings, the full realisation of short-term accommodation rental services potential is hampered, and the proper functioning of the internal market is negatively affected. In order to achieve more harmonised rules and requirements, and ensure a fair, unambiguous and transparent provision of short-term accommodation rental services as part of efforts to promote a balanced tourism ecosystem within the internal market, a uniform and targeted set of rules should be established at Union levelnd continue upholding the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular the safe and affordable housing target, and the human right to access to decent and affordable housing, a uniform and targeted set of rules should be established at Union level. Short-term accommodation rental services through platforms and their impact should not undermine the high level of acceptance of tourism in the regions and cities of Europe or degrade the habitability of neighbourhoods.

(3) To that end, harmonised rules on data generation and data sharing for short- term accommodation rental services should be laid down to increase access to and quality of data for public authorities on the provision of short-term accommodation rental services, which in turn should enable them to design and implement policies on such services in an effective and proportionate manner. This implies maintaining opportunities for platforms while respecting public policy objectives like available and affordable housing and protecting urban centres and rural areas, especially when economic conditions in Europe are deteriorating. Short-term accommodation rental services via platforms and their impact shall not undermine the high acceptance of tourism in Europe's regions and cities and degrade the liveability of neighbourhoods. They should respect local communities and promote sustainability from an ecological and socioeconomic point of view.

(4) Rules should be laid down to harmonise transparency requirements for the provision of short-term accommodation rental services through online short-term rental platforms in cases where Member States decide to impose such transparency requirements. Accordingly, harmonised rules should be provided for registration schemes and data-sharing requirements concerning online short-term rental platforms should Member States decide to put in place such schemes or requirements. To achieve effective harmonisation, and to ensure a uniform application of the rules, Member States will not be able to legislate on access to data from online short-term rental platforms outside the specific regime laid down in the present Regulation. That is in order to ensure that Member States do not regulate the requests in question without putting in place the necessary registration schemes, databases and single digital entry point and to facilitate proportionate, privacy-compliant and secure data sharing by online short-term rental platforms within the internal market. This Regulation does not affect Member States’ competence to adopt and maintain market access requirements relating to the provision of short-term accommodation rental services by hosts, including health and safety requirements, minimum quality standards or quantitative restrictions, provided that such requirements are necessary and proportionate to protect public interest objectives, in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council25 . T. In this respect, the Court of Justice of the European Union has acknowledged that setting up national legislations requiring authorisation schemes or permits for the short-term letting of residential properties is consistent with Union law, given that a housing shortage and shortage of long- term housing rentals constitute ‘an overriding reason relating to the public interest’. Therefore, the availability of reliable data on a uniform basis should support Member States’ efforts in developing policies and regulations that comply with Union law. In fact, as the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union made clear, Member States are required to justify possible market access restrictions for hosts on the basis of data and evidence. _________________ 25 Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (OJ L 376, 27.12.2006, p. 36).

Recital 6
(6) This Regulation should apply to services consisting in the short-term letting of furnished accommodation, against remuneration of any form, whether on a professional or non-professional basis. Short-term accommodation rental services can concern, for example, a room in a host’s primary residence with the host present, a host’s primary or secondary residence rented out for a limited number of days per year, or one or more properties bought by the host as an investment to be rented out on a short-term basis, typically for less than a year throughout the year. The provision of furnished accommodation for more permanent use, typically for one year or more, should not be considered to be provided on short-term basis. Short- term accommodation rental services are not limited to units let for touristic or leisure purposes but should include short-term stays for other purposes, such as business or study.

(8) The rules laid down in this Regulation should apply to online platforms within the meaning of Article 3 point (i) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and the Council27, which allow guests to conclude distance contracts with hosts for the provision of short-term accommodation rental services. Therefore, webpages connecting hosts with guests without any further role in the conclusion of direct transactions should be excluded from the scope of this Regulation. Online platforms intermediating the provision of short-term accommodation rental services without payment (for example, online platforms intermediating the exchange of dwellings) are not covered by these rules, given that only short-term accommodation rental services provided against remuneration of any formare covered. _________________ 27 Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act), (OJ L 277, 27.10.22, p. 1).
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Registration procedures enable competent authorities to collect information on hosts and units relating to short-term accommodation rental services. The registration number, which is a unique identifier of a unit rented, should ensure that the data collected and shared by platforms can be properly attributed to hosts and units. It should therefore be for competent authorities, where they wish to receive data from providers of online short- term rental platforms, to put in place or maintain registration procedures for hosts and their units, either at national, regional or local level. The registration procedure pursuant to this Regulation is understood without prejudice to other possible information obligations, for example in the fields of taxation, population census and statistics.
Amendment 85 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) In order to ensure that competent authorities obtain the information and data they need, without imposing disproportionate burdens on online platforms and hosts, it is necessary to lay out a common approach to registration procedures within Member States that is limited to basic information allowing the identification of the unit and the host. To that end, Member States should ensure that, upon the submission of all relevant information and documents, hosts and units are given a registration number. Hosts should be able to identify and authenticate themselves using electronic identification means issued under a notified electronic identity scheme pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council28to complete those registration procedures. Hosts should be able to submit all required documents digitally. However, an offline service for the submission of documents should still be made available, taking into account the needs of the less digitally-skilled or equipped, especially the elderly. _________________ 28 Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC (OJ L 257, 28.8.2014, p. 73).
Amendment 88 #

Recital 11
(11) Hosts should provide information regarding themselves, the units they offer for short-term accommodation rental services and other necessary information so that the competent authorities know the identity of the host and their contact details, as well as the location, the type (e.g. house, apartment, roomspecific address, the cadastral reference, the type (e.g. house, apartment, room, shared room, or relevant category provided in national law) and characteristics of the unit.. Such information is needed to ensure traceability of hosts and units offered. Where relevant, hosts shall also indicate whether they have obtained an authorisation to provide services in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 2006/123/EC, granted that such authorisation requirement is line with Union law, and may be required to submit a copy of, or reference to, the authorisation granted. Information on the rights of hosts with regards to the authorisation scheme as well as to the means of redress available in the event of dispute, should be easily available to hosts as provided for by Directive 2006/123/EC. The description of the unit’s characteristics should include an indication of whether the unit is offered in whole or part and whether the host uses the unit for residential purposes as a primary or secondary residence or for other purposes. Hosts should also provide information on the maximum number of guests that the unit is capable of accommodating.

Such information is needed to ensure traceability of hosts and units offered. Where relevant hosts can also be required to indicate whether they have obtained an authorisation to provide the service as referred to in Article 9 of Directive 2006/123 from the relevant authorities, provided such authorisation requirement is line with Union law. Information on the rights of the hosts as far as the authorisation scheme is concerned, and in particular the means of redress available in the event of dispute, should be easily available to hosts as provided for by Directive 2006/123/EC. The description of the unit’s characteristics should include an indication of whether the unit is offered in whole or part and whether the host uses the unit for residential purposes as a primary or secondary residence or for other purposes. Hosts should also provide information on the maximum number of guests that the unit is capable of accommodating.

Recital 12
(12) It should be possible for Member States to require hosts to submit additional information and documentation attesting compliance with requirements established by national law, such as taxation, health and safety and consumer protection requirements. Member States may, in particular, in order to ensure equal access and inclusion, require hosts to provide information concerning the accessibility for persons with disabilities of the units offered for short-term accommodation rental services in relation to national or local accessibility requirements. However, any requirements should comply with the principles of non- discrimination and proportionality, meaning that they must be appropriate and necessary to achieve a legitimate regulatory objective, and with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Directive 2006/123/EC. Furthermore, Member States should be able to impose information requirements on hosts that comply with Union law concerning issues not covered by this Regulation, such as non- remunerated stays including where hosting arrangements concern vulnerable individuals, such as refugees or beneficiaries of temporary protection.
Amendment 94 #

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) The information and documentation provided by hosts via the registration procedure should be verified by competent authorities only after the issuance of the registration number. It is appropriate to enable hosts, within a reasonable period of time, to rectify the information and documentation submitted which a competent authority considers to be incomplete or inaccurate. Where the host fails to rectify the information and documentation within the period indicated, the competent authority should have the power to suspend or revoke the validity of the registration number. The competent authority should have the power to suspend or revoke the validity of the registration number also in cases where it finds that there are manifest and serious doubts as regards the authenticity and validity of the information or documentation provided by the host. In those cases, competent authorities should inform hosts about their intention to suspend the validity of the registration number and the reasons for it. Hosts should have the possibility to be heard and, where appropriate, to rectify the information and documentation provided within a reasonable period of time. Where the validity of the registration number has been suspended or revoked, competent authorities should have the power to issue an order requesting the online short-term rental platforms to remove or disable access to the listing relating to the unit in question without undue delay. Those orders should include all necessary information to identify the listing, including the individual Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the listings.

Recital 15
Recital 15
(15) Where a registration procedure applies, hosts should be required to provide online short-term rental platforms with their registration numbers, display them in each respective unit listing and provide guests with the unit’s registration number. Members States should ensure that, where a registration procedure applies, national law enables competent authorities to either order online short-term rental platforms to provide information regarding the affected unit(s) and order online short- term rental platforms to remove listings related to units offered without a registration number or offered with an invalid registration number.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) Article 31 of the Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 lays down certain due diligence requirements for providers of online platforms allowing consumers to conclude distance contracts with traders. Those requirements apply to online short-term rental platforms with respect to short-term accommodation rental services offered by hosts that qualify as traders. However, the short-term accommodation rental sector is characterised by the fact that hosts are often private individuals offering short- term accommodation rental services on an occasional peer-to-peer basis, who do not necessarily meet the conditions to be categorised as ‘traders’ under Union law. Therefore, in line with the concept and objective of ‘compliance by design’ under Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, and in order to enable competent authorities to verify whether applicable registration obligations are complied with, it is appropriate to apply specific conditions for compliance by design in the context of short-term accommodation rental services, including those offered by hosts that do not qualify as traders pursuant to Union law. Online short-term rental platforms should ensure that services are not offered where no registration number or an invalid one has been provided, in cases where a host declares that such a registration numbethe unit offered for short- term accommodation rental services is located in an area where a registration procedure has been established or applies. This, however, should not amount to an obligation for online short-term rental platforms to generally monitor the services offered by hosts through their platform, nor to a general fact-finding obligation aimed at assessing the accuracy of the registration number prior to the publication of the offer of short-term accommodation rental servicesbut should lead to short-term rental online platforms making every possible effort to assess whether the unit offered for short- term accommodation rental services is located in an area where a registration procedure has been established, for example, by using the list provided pursuant to Article 13(1)(a) as well as to assess the validity of the registration number.

(17a) However, the rules laid down in this Regulation are without prejudice to other reporting obligations in accordance with EU and national law, including in the field of taxation, population registration or statistics.
Amendment 105 #
(18) Competent authorities that wish to receive from online short-term rental platforms information about hosts’ activities and have registration systems in place should be able to obtain activity data from online platforms on a regular basis. The type of data that may be obtained should be fully harmonised and include information on the number of nights for which a registered unit has been rented, the number of guests that stayed in the unit per nightfor which the unit was rented per night, the yearly average remuneration, the registration number and, the URL of the listing of the unit, and the specific address of the unit, including the exact number of the apartment, which is needed in order to facilitate the identification of the host and the unit offered for short-term accommodation rental services in cases where the registration number is missing or incorrect. Only online platforms that have effectively facilitated the conclusion of direct transactions between hosts and guests are covered by the obligation to provide the activity data, the registration number and the URL of the listing of the unit, as only those platforms are in a position to collect data, such as on the number of nights for which a unit is rented and the number of guests that stayed in the unitregistered unit has been rented , the yearly average remuneration, the number of guests for which the unit was rented per night. Member States should not maintain or introduce measures that require platforms to report on short-term accommodation rental service providers and their activities diverging from those laid down in this Regulation, unless otherwise provided under Union law.

(18a) Additionally, Member States may require hosts to declare whether they are acting for the purpose of their trade, business or profession, or otherwise, as well as the number of units they are renting on the short-term rentals market. This data can facilitate a better understanding of the short-term rentals market, also in view of eventual policymaking.
Amendment 110 #

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, in order to ensure that the processing of personal data is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed, online short- term rental platforms should not be required to report additional information on the identity of the hosts and on units, given that this information is already collected by competent authorities through the registration procedures applicable to hosts.
Amendment 113 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 23
Recital 23
(23) The Single Digital Entry Points should facilitate the ability of online short- term rental platforms to randomly check the validity of a registration number or the accuracy of self-declarations, in order to reduce errors and inconsistencies as regards data transmission and to ease their compliance burden. The Single Digital Entry Point should, while not requiring the actual storage of the registration number, allow the performance of random checks either automatically by means of Application Programming Interface allowing the verification of a registration number against the given entries in the registry of the individual registration procedures in a Member State connected to the Single Digital Entry Point or manually, for example, by entering a registration number in an online interface and receiving a confirmation on its validity. Online short- term rental platforms should be free to perform additional checks through the Single Digital Entry Point. Member States should continue enforcing registration obligations using the tools already available to them.
Amendment 118 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27
Recital 27
(27) Aggregated data sets based on the available activity data, would also be important for the compilation of official statistics. Those data, together with information on the total number of units, on the yearly average remuneration and on the maximum number of guests that the unit can accommodate in each geographical subdivision, should be transmitted to national statistical offices and Eurostat every month for the purposes of compiling statistics in line with the requirements applicable to other service providers in the accommodation sector as laid in Regulation 692/2011 concerning European statistics on tourism. Member States should designate the national entity responsible for aggregating data and transmitting it. Competent authorities should also be able to share activity data, without any data that could enable the identification of individual units or hosts, such as registration numbers and URLs, with entities and persons when this is needed to carry out scientific research or analytical activities as well as to produce new business models and services. Under the same conditions, activity data could be made available via sectorial data spaces, when established.
Amendment 123 #

Recital 31
Recital 31
(31) Member States should ensure an effective enforcement of this Regulation as regards the provisions of this Regulation concerning the results of the random checks, the obligation to include a reference to the information to be made available by Member States on rules governing the provision of short-term accommodation rental services and the data sharing obligations of short-term rental platforms. Due to the specific nature of those obligations, it should be for authorities designated by the Member State of the Single Digital Entry Point, in which the relevant unit is located, to enforce them. Member States should also lay down rules setting out penalties for the infringement of these provisions of this Regulation that apply to online short-term rental platforms and should ensure that such penalties are implemented and notified in accordance with Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council32. Such penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. These penalties should ensure an effective enforcement of this Regulation, notably as regards data sharing obligations. _________________ 32 Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2000 on certain legal aspects of information society services, in particular electronic commerce, in the Internal Market ('Directive on electronic commerce') (OJ L 178, 17.7.2000, p. 1).
