European legislation and regulations have a major influence on the development and management of property by housing associations and municipalities.

One example is the recent ruling by the European Court of Human Rights. The Court held that a comprehensive ban on satellite dishes was incompatible with the right to receive or transmit information or opinions freely as laid down in Article 10 of the EHCR. Another far-reaching example is the decision by the European Commission dated 15 December 2009, stipulating that from now on housing associations must allocate 90% of rented housing with rents below € 647 to individuals or families with a gross maximum annual income of € 33,000.

These examples underline the importance of being familiar with European legislation. The property specialists at CMS Derks Star Busmann will explain to you the consequences of European legislation in practice and what solutions are available.

That is why we will be organizing a seminar entitled ‘The influence of Europe on housing associations and social housing’ on Tuesday 21 September 2010 at our Utrecht office and Thursday 30 September 2010 at our Arnhem office.
