A coalition of 17 organisations representing the European real estate market, including AREF, have set out in a paper "Building Blocks for a Prosperous Future" their recommendations for the next EU mandate.
The priorities they have proposed are:
- Pillar 1 - Promoting long-term investments by prioritising competitiveness over regulation with the following key deliverables:
- Promoting long-term and cross-border investment
- Apply better regulation principles more consistently
- Improvement of the capital markets union
- Integrate European retirement week in the official EU calendar
- Pillar 2 - Delivering the green transition with the following key deliverables:
- Creating a coherent sustainable framework
- Making sustainability reporting requirements fit for the real estate sector
- Sending clear long-term market signals on reduction of energy use related emissions:
- EU state aid rules must be clear and simplified
- Unlocking investment in renewable energy generation infrastructure
- Making members of this coalition part of the dialogue on green transition
AREF, and other members of the European Real Estate Forum, are looking forward to discussing with EU policymakers how to take forward these recommendations.
