Question for written answer E-002826/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mihai Tudose (S&D)
17 % of EU citizens live in overcrowded housing, according to Eurostat data. In Romania, that percentage is 40 %, which is the second highest overcrowding rate in the EU, after Latvia.
At the same time, between 2015 and 2023, housing prices in the EU increased by an average of 48 %, which was also the case in Romania.
I welcome the affordable and sustainable housing plan announced by the Commission, but would also like to know whether it specifically envisages targeted actions in countries with high levels of overcrowding, in order to improve this situation.
