Paragraph 5 a (new)
| Motion for a resolution | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 5 a. Urges the Commission to propose a Housing Simplification Package, with the aim to simplify and streamline the complex set of rules that currently slow down housing construction and renovation across Europe by reducing administrative burdens, aligning overlapping regulations and shortening permitting procedures; highlights that such an initiative will make it easier and faster to build or renovate homes and to reduce buildings costs; acknowledges that simplification, targeted deregulation and flexibilisation would remove unnecessary barriers while preserving key safety, environmental, and social standards with the goal to accelerate permitting, new construction, and renovation, allowing housing supply to catch up with demand and making homes more affordable across Europe; calls on the Commission to ensure that the Housing Simplification Package reflects on the following pieces of legislation: the Nature Restoration Law, the Ambient Air Quality Directive, the Water Framework Directive, the Soil Monitoring Law, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, the Energy Efficiency Directive and the Birds and Habitats Directive, concretely: | |
| (a) Acknowledges that the Nature Restoration Law is too rigid and leaves no flexibility for extra-urban building; calls on the Commission and co-legislators to ensure that the Nature Restoration Law does not create additional obstacles or delays in housing construction and renovation, considers national specificities, and provides Member States with greater flexibility in their spatial planning decisions; this specifically applies to the non-deterioration principle and the strict targets for 2030, 2040, 2050; | |
| (b) Acknowledges that the Ambient Air Quality Directive, which will apply from 2026, will increase construction costs due to disproportionate requirements for building companies concerning temporary emissions and noise peaks during the construction process, as well as the acknowledgement that it may also make buildings more expensive by imposing additional design and layout requirements; calls on the revision and simplification on the Ambient Air Quality Directive to ensure it no longer imposes unnecessary and disproportional restrictions on the construction of new housing and individual households; | |
| (c) Acknowledges that the Water Framework Directive can unnecessarily obstruct construction projects by giving a distorted picture of overall water quality, mainly due to the restrictive “one out, all out” principle and the limiting options for water displacement; calls on the Commission to revise the Water Framework Directive, as it no longer strikes the right balance between protecting water quality and enabling economic activities by removing the "one out, all out" principle and allowing for temporary deterioration of water quality due to water displacement, in order to prevent further pressure on permitting procedures for housing; | |
| (d) Acknowledges that the Soil Monitoring Law poses major challenges for extra-urban development and introduces unnecessary red tape for soil-related companies and other actors in the construction chain, as a result, the issuing of housing permits is likely to face delays; calls on the Commission to make sure that the Soil Monitoring Law shall not obstruct the permitting and licenses procedures for construction and provoke unnecessary delays in housing development; | |
| (e) Acknowledge that the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is overly prescriptive as it undermines the principle of subsidiarity and imposes excessive and restrictive building requirements that drive up construction costs; calls on the Commission to revise the legislation to cut red tape, reduce overly detailed regulation, and lower production costs; stresses that EU climate policies for buildings must be pragmatic and adaptable; stresses that environmental objectives in housing must be implemented in a cost-efficient manner, avoiding disproportionate requirements that increase construction costs and reduce affordability for households; | |
| (f) Acknowledges that the practical implementation of the Energy Efficiency Directive creates excessive red tape for many construction companies and private owners; calls for a revision of the Energy Efficiency Directive (2023/1791), with a view to better reflect real-world conditions, reduce administrative burdens, include an exemption for companies with up to 50 employees, and ease the fulfillment of energy requirements at the construction level, ensuring that sustainability goals do not come at the expense of housing affordability and availability; notes that the bureaucratic efforts required by the Energy Efficiency Directive through the obligation to monitor, record and report is disproportionate to its benefits; highlights the necessity of cost efficiency; believes that stricter interpretation rules negatively prolongs approval procedures in dwellings construction; calls for more proportionality of requirements for energy efficiency to ensure a conducive environment for investments into the construction of new housing opportunities; highlights the necessity of a better alignment of energy efficiency measures with cost efficiency; | |
| (g) Considers that the Birds Directive and the Habitats Directive impose overly restrictive requirements on extra-urban housing and related economic activities in the construction sector, including the extraction of building materials, and calls for greater flexibility, including possible exemptions from strict targets and indicators for such housing-related activities; | |
| (h) Calls for a comprehensive impact assessment to evaluate the social and economic effects of ETS2, in the context of the revision of Directive 2023/959, on households and its potential contribution to the reduction of their purchasing power; |

Calls on the Commission and Member States to strongly sanction any anti-competitive attitudes taken by relevant stakeholders, which are found driving construction materials prices up; believes that, in order to keep prices for housing building materials under publicly-funded projects under control, strict public oversight as well as strong conditionalities under public procurement must be applied, including maximum allowable construction costs per square metre and ceilings on net rents, which indirectly put pressure on cost discipline throughout the development process and create a natural barrier against inflated pricing, thus preventing artificial profit-driven, upward manipulation of pricing for housing building materials; |
