Airbnb pushes for EU-wide data system over national platforms

12 Jan 2023

Feedback on — EU regulation on data collection and sharing for short-term rental services.

Their ask — Airbnb wants a single EU-wide data entry point instead of 27 national systems. They argue national systems create technical fragmentation and compliance delays. The company also wants the Commission to verify that local registration rules are proportionate and calls for enforcement against disproportionate local restrictions.1 2 3

How it helps them — This would avoid building 27 different technical products and reduce significant compliance costs.4

Who loses — Local authorities lose flexibility to design registration systems tailored to their communities' needs.5
