Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(6) In this same 2019 Recommendation, the ESRB defined the physical commercial real estate as any income-producing real estate, either existing or under development, including rental housing; or real estate used by the owners of the property for conducting their business, purpose or activity, either existing or under construction; that is not classified as residential real estate; and includes social housing. The definitions in this Regulation are aligned with those recommended by the ESRB in 2019.(6) In this same 2019 Recommendation, the ESRB defined the physical commercial real estate as any income-producing real estate, either existing or under development, including rental housing; or real estate used by the owners of the property for conducting their business, purpose or activity, either existing or under construction; that is not classified as residential real estate; and includes social housing. The definitions in this Regulation are aligned with those recommended by the ESRB in 2019, with the exception of social housing which is excluded from commercial real estate, as in the ESRB Recommendation of 2016 and aligned with the 'Commercial property price indicators: sources, methods and issues' report of Eurostat.

Recital 7

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(7) The Commission (Eurostat) and the national statistical institutes (NSIs), in close collaboration with the ESRB, assessed the feasibility of indicators on the physical commercial real estate, namely the price index, the rental index, the rental yield index, the vacancy rates and construction starts, recommended by the ESRB. The feasibility of producing the price index, the rental index, the construction starts and work completions was confirmed. Due to limited availability of data sources and insufficient quality, the indicators on rental yield indices and vacancy rates cannot be included in this Regulation and should continue to be developed. At the same time, an additional important indicator on the value of transactions of commercial real estate has been added.(7) In line with the ESRB 2019 recommendation, indicators on the physical commercial real estate, namely the price index, the rental index, the rental yield index, the vacancy rates and construction starts should be collected. An additional important indicator on the value of transactions of commercial real estate has been added.

Or. en

Justification

As rental yield index and the vacancy rates indicators were already included in the 2016 ERSB recommendation, along with the other indicators, they should be requested as from the entry into application of this Regulation.

Derogations
1. Where the application of this Regulation or that of the implementing measures adopted pursuant thereto require major adaptations in a national statistical system of a Member State, the Commission may grant, by means of implementing acts, derogations to that Member State, for a maximum duration of three years.
2. The relevant Member State shall submit to the Commission a duly reasoned request for a derogation pursuant to paragraph 1, within three months of the date of the entry into force of the act in respect of which the derogation is requested.
3. The impact of derogations referred to in paragraph 1 on the comparability of Member States' data or on the calculation of the required timely and representative European aggregates shall be kept to a minimum. The Commission shall take the burden on respondents into account when granting derogations.
4. The implementing acts referred to in paragraph 1 shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 10.

Justification

As international bodies are increasingly pointing out to the growing vulnerabilities stemming from the commercial real estate sector, it is of paramount important to close the data gap as soon as possible. Indicators included in this Regulation were already recommended by the ESRB 10 years ago, giving Member States sufficient time to adapt their statistical framework.
