Mickpl wrote that during the Senate's work on the bill regulating Airbnb rentals, there was lobbying from three foundations. According to him, these organizations demanded a change in the definition of hotel services, which would allow funds that had announced plans to build hotels but ultimately built rental apartments to avoid paying a 23% VAT. The author noted that the argument raised was the possible negative effects on students. In his opinion, this referred to individuals renting rooms in private dormitories for 3,000 PLN. He added that signing lease agreements could provide tenants with protection, and the status of students was not to be verified. Mickpl indicated that comments could be submitted regarding print number 863, as well as concerning the cooperatives he had written about earlier. #airbnb #ustawa #wynajem (translated)

Simone Juffermans wrote that the government had postponed the reopening of Lelystad Airport for over six years due to nitrogen problems and the vulnerable nature of the Veluwe. According to her, that same government had deemed military use by F-35s acceptable and decided to expand the airport by 40 hectares, bringing it to a total of 240 hectares. This would require four families and six businesses to relocate. Juffermans also wrote that there was still no nature permit and that Secretary of State Boswijk had said that this could not wait. She suggested that the government would adjust the nitrogen calculation method for this purpose. Boswijk reportedly acknowledged the consequences for the families and businesses involved, but according to Juffermans, he did not expect that more homes and businesses would disappear in the short term due to defense expansions. However, she stated that he could not rule that out. #Lelystad #stikstof #natuur (translated)
