The European Commission published on 7 November 2022 a proposal for a regulation on data collection and sharing relating to short-term accommodation rental services. The proposal contributes to the Commission’s priorities to make the EU fit for the digital age, and to build a future-ready economy that works for people and builds on the recent Digital Services Act, the proposal regulates online platforms, which connect hosts and guests for short-term accommodation rentals.
The regulation should facilitate the registration of hosts and their short-term rental properties and reduce inconsistencies in how online platforms share data. Platforms would have to check whether hosts register their units, and share data about rented nights and guests with public authorities. The regulation should also help to avoid large volumes of differing data requests imposing a heavy burden on online platforms, impairing their ability to offer services across the single market. It should also increase consumer confidence in these services.
The European Parliament and the Council need to set their positions on the file. In Parliament, the file has been assigned to the Committee on Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO). In the Council, the working party on competitiveness and growth (tourism) is working on the proposal.
