✈️ European Parliament's Transport and Tourism Committee rejects proposed revisions to air passenger compensation rules, maintaining the right to compensation for delays over three hours. Current compensation levels remain between €300-€600, while EU ministers had suggested €300-€500. Passengers must be offered meals and accommodation during long delays. Rules emphasize clear baggage information and costs elimination for minor corrections. Special provisions are made for vulnerable passengers. The proposal, with 36 votes in favor, moves to January's plenary session.

📅 Dan Jorgensen, the EU Energy Commissioner, addressed short-term rentals in a European Parliament special committee. This year, the EU will propose new legislation on short-term rentals as part of a broader affordable housing law. Not a ban, but measures to limit negative impacts, such as maximum nights per year or seasonal restrictions, with student rentals off-season. Member states are encouraged to prioritize homelessness and improve housing access for youth and students.
