“What You Get Depends on You. How EU Policy Shapes Real Estate and How The Real Estate Industry Shapes That Policy.”
If you want to invest in real estate outside of your home market, the easiest and safest place to do it is the EU, because EU law gives European citizens and companies permanent rights and freedoms to invest in real estate without obstacle. Michael MacBrien, Director General of the European Property Federation (EPF) will explain these freedoms and show how the industry – EPF, ELO, RICS and TEGoVA, with the help of Barcelona Meeting Point – is working to perfect the system, by lobbying for EU legislation providing pan-European investment vehicles such as the EU REIT that property companies need to really be able to operate on a European scale and that will facilitate broader and deeper investment in the new member states such as Romania. Yet Central European real estate owners and investors aren’t present in these campaigns that are so crucial to their interests. Michael MacBrien’s keynote address will be followed by a break-out session in which people interested in joining EPF and the EU REIT campaign can meet with him. A good opportunity ‘to lobby’! Take it!
