Background

The Single Digital Entry Point (SDEP) is the national portal that each EU member state must operate under EU Regulation 2024/1028, which reaches full application on 20 May 2026. Every short-term rental platform (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo) must transmit monthly listing data — property address, host registration number, listing URL, nights rented, guests per night — into the SDEP for Onward forwarding to municipal authorities. The SDEP is the data infrastructure that turns the Regulation from a declaration into an enforcement tool.

As of 8 May 2026, five member states have live SDEPs: Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Portugal. Germany has not transposed the underlying rules at federal level; the Netherlands' portal remains mid-build. The split reflects a decade's difference in domestic STR politics: southern members built registration frameworks under housing-movement pressure years before Brussels arrived; northern members did not. The practical effect is that listings in Berlin and Amsterdam sit inside a compliance vacuum on 20 May, while listings in Madrid and Athens are visible to municipal enforcement from day one.

Spain's SDEP inherited the infrastructure of Royal Decree 1312/2024 and is the architecture behind the €64 million Airbnb fine that survived suspension in March 2026. The European Commission has not formally rated member-state readiness; the Code Red / Code Green classification is industry analysis.
