Question for written answer E-002553/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Cynthia Ní Mhurchú (Renew)
Campervans are becoming an increasingly popular way for Europeans to holiday. Travelling by road can be a more sustainable approach to exploration and adventure. The difficulty in Ireland, and in many other EU countries, is that there are insufficient campervan facilities. There are insufficient municipal camping grounds that cater specifically for campervans. There are insufficient services that allow campervans to park up, cook food and dispose of waste, black water, grey water and other related waste.
In some Member States, specific local laws make it difficult for campervans to park in and visit particular areas. A lack of facilities often forces campervans to park in public car parks next to beaches, which is causing friction with local coastal communities. In some coastal communities in the EU, campervans are not even allowed.
How will the Commission encourage Member States to adopt rules to facilitate the movement and proper parking of campervans?
