EuroWindoor appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on the European Commission’s planned Housing Simplification Package. We welcome the objective to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens and administrative complexity in order to support housing supply and affordability, while fully respecting safety, social, environmental and climate goals. Simplification should focus primarily on improving and accelerating implementation, permitting and administrative procedures, rather than reopening the debate on recently agreed legislation.
As the European association representing the window, door and façade (curtain walling) sector, we see the effects of complex and sometimes overlapping rules on residential construction and renovation. Our sector delivers core building-envelope elements that are indispensable for energy performance, comfort, health and safety in homes. A targeted simplification package can make it easier and faster to deploy high‑performance window and façade solutions in both new housing and renovation, especially for vulnerable households.
