EESC Public Hearing
The role of Cohesion Policy in addressing housing affordability challenge

  • Insights from a new ESPON research on Affordable and Quality Housing in Europe (HOUSEFORAL)

In the opinion, ECO recommends:

  • Maintaining POSEI support during post-disaster reconstruction, even in the absence of current productive activity.
  • Removing the 10% ceiling on fund redeployment from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) for Mayotte.
  • Postponing beneficiary deadlines beyond 30 June 2025 to ensure realistic recovery timelines.

...

The opinion recommends:

  • Simplifying and harmonising EU tax implementation of directives to reduce complexity, duplication, and legal uncertainty.
  • Conducting impact and competitiveness assessments—especially for SMEs—for all new tax proposals.
  • Establishing an EU court system of Advance tax rulings for interpreting complex tax directives. The ECJ would be the appellate body if a taxpayer or a tax administration challenge the ruling.
