Key points

The EU is facing a severe affordability crisis, with house prices rising significantly over the last decade.
A major cause of the crisis is the shortage of housing supply due to slow permitting and high construction costs.
The regulation of short-term rentals needs to be balanced to protect long-term housing availability.
Energy efficiency standards must be implemented without placing an undue financial burden on tenants and buyers.
