MEPs discuss with the Commission ways to encourage public and private investment in decent and affordable housing in Europe. Ahead of her confirmation as Commission President, Ursula VON DER LEYEN said in a statement before Parliament on 18 July that Europe faces a housing crisis and announced she would appoint a Commissioner to be directly responsible for this issue. Former Danish Minister for Development Cooperation and Global Climate Policy Dan JØRGENSEN is the Commissioner-designate for Housing and Energy. First part of MEPs debate.
