On 18 February, the launch ceremony of the MMCEPI label was held in Brussels, in the presence of many CEPI members and with the kind participation of Mrs Vaidere and Mr Maran, members of the European Parliament, who honoured us with their presence. 

The conference was a resounding success, demonstrating not only the strength of the leading European Real Estate family, but also the collective enthusiasm for this unique initiative. 

The MMCEPI label is characterised by its ambition to guarantee standards of excellence in terms of efficiency, sustainability, and quality. It is a true mark of confidence for professionals and consumers alike, designed to highlight exemplary real estate initiatives and encourage best practices in the sector.

In conclusion, this day marked a decisive stage in the further development of the united European Real Estate family. The prestigious setting of De Warande helped to make this a memorable event, full of hope for the future of our sector.

Following the re-appointment of European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, we are happy to be able to shed some light on the key political guidelines she has in mind for her new team of Commissioners.

Critical to underline for our sector is the intended appointment of a Housing Commissioner that should oversee a European Affordable Housing Plan, which includes the establishment of a pan-European investment platform dedicated to affordable and sustainable housing solutions. 

Other guidelines include:

- The proposition of a new EU-wide legal status to help innovative companies to grow;

- Renewal of the inter-institutional agreement on simplification and better law making;

- Reduction of energy bills through the implementation of a Clean Industrial Deal ;

- An Artificial Intelligence Strategy for industrial advancement;

- The establishment of a Union of skills focusing on investment, adult and lifelong learning, skill retention and the recognition of different types of training to enable people to work across the EU ;

- The implementation of a Quality Jobs Roadmap which should support fair wages, good working conditions, training and fair job transitions for workers and self-employed people;

- Roll-out of the Social Climate Fund in order to support the development of an affordable and energy-efficient housing.
