Michaela Kauer, co-coordinator of the Housing Partnership, recently had the opportunity to present the mid-term report of the partnership at a joint public hearing of the European Parliament REGI Committee and the COTER Commission.

The meeting entitled "Implementation of the Urban Agenda for the EU - State of Play" provided a good occasion for the first 8 urban partnerships to exchange on this core element to implement the Urban Agenda for the EU. The attention for the "better regulation" strand of the work of the partnership was high. Both MEPs and CoR Members showed specific interest for the reported first deliveries on the effects of state aid on the supply of affordable housing in that context.

The presentation of the mid-term report is available online now here.
