Barcelona has been notoriously known for opposing the sharing economy and collaborative economy platforms such as Airbnb and Uber, as well as BlaBlaCar, even though the population are using the platforms more than most European citizens. We talked with Albert Canigueral, a thought leader in terms of innovative regulations and head of the Ouishare movement in Spain.

  • welcome to the ethnic podcasts my name is Sandra whole plant today we have a topic that's very tense in the media these days will there ever be a happy ending for the collaborative economy in in Spain and with me to discuss this topic we have three smart people as always and this week in this month we have first of all Albert connect rural innovation strategists founder of consumer collaborative oh we sure Barcelona connector and so on is that a good presentation that's a good presentation yeah okay second of all we have Lucy Hernandez expert on a collaborative economy you're currently working with local government you're working with Barcelona Activa also consumer collaborative oh and your your focus is on the tourism part right yes right yes and last but not least we also have Jamison y'all you're the country manager for dr e in spain and for those of you that don't know dr e is Europe's largest peer-to-peer car rental companies all right yeah platform a market place a marker place right so thank you all for being here I really appreciate you coming thank you every week there's something new from the battle between authorities and the sharing economy our collaborative economy like Airbnb uber blah blah car once once a week the government wins the battle the other week you know it's the platforms that that wins he the last one was this week actually when the Superior Court of Catalunya has an old define of thirty thousand euros imposed by the government two years ago by offering tours departments illegally and also possibly making mayor other Klaus very newly fine of six hundred thousand euros last month not not binding making a precedence Albert you've been writing and talking about these things for years now this these fines that we're seeing in the paper and which is very relevant these days it's just populism or politics or or this is a good way of dealing with these issues what do you think no usually and it's not only my opinion but also European Union opinion that find and for binding things lead and boom it's not it's not the best way to operate dialogue is always that the best approach and in the specific case of tourism and we'll see I can explain it more in more detail there there are a lot of cities that have dealt with that more with dialogue and separating different type of activities that in Barcelona which we still have like bundle and the same umbrella of Elohim enters critical where there are different activities inside there that need to be separated and yeah but the thing is we are in a new territory so it also i would say normal that we have this kind of moment and behavior so people are trying to understand what's going on both and anything or just important to separate the behavior of the platform themselves or the marketplaces and end-users and we see there there will be responsibilities and rights and duties for all this part and we are still making them up so it's normal that we are a little bit lost and and jam yeah you your present to drive you here today and we're not reading about driving every day in the news neither in Spain nor in France at least not in a negative way seems like you find a way to to dealing with let the government or authorities in a good way can you tell how are you how are you doing this well it's a bit different regulations for each of the areas or the soup areas and in our case what we do basically we have a platform where we connect people who have cars and they don't use it or they don't use it very often and people who need a car for a weekend or or or holidays so this the users who are renting their cars to other users this is considered renting without a driver so in Spain for example this activity doesn't require a license and I think most of the problems that are surfacing right now with platforms or so are related with licenses or tourism licenses for certain things or taxi licences for other platforms so at the end in our sub area maybe that's the reason why we are not on on the on the run on the regulation part but it's because of this population however I think that all these platforms shares certain things in common and the fact that the users are becoming not only consumers but also producers so the prosumer rolled at Alberton and Lucy I can explain much better and this is all so new and this creates tension so all the old companies or the traditional models so at the end and being very aware of all these changes and trying to adapt the regulation in a first way is key otherwise we will see these kind of fines and problems and tensions hmmm and Lucia you're the expert here because we're talking about for example Airbnb which is very connected with tourism what are your thoughts of the latest you know articles in newspapers well I think that a we omit the brown with your vm being Barcelona is about political issue I think that the best way to address this this problem is to how Albert set is to talk about it and to make agreements on what is the the best the best way to to deal with this with these technologies no I BMB I think that is it has a scare in a big way and it's normal that traditional sector is worried about how they they they understand that this thing no but I think that they they need to understand that a vm b is a representative business mobile it's a platform model and is that users wants and they have to to integrate or 2010 first and integrate is this type of models into debt ratio models and it was thrown anything that they have to dialogue and try to define an agreement know as add other cities in europe headstone so think maybe you can elaborate a little bit more on the other cities with nothing there are some examples which are generally go Dustin maybe not perfect but at least our reference know if it's sure a reference in I'm sorry me is the most proactive on this way by the way they do the first Home Sharing regulation in Europe and now has sinus had just signed an agreement with a BM be putting limits for example in how many days the host could run their rooms or apartments there are 60 days per year but is the same that London has done and your limbs right is 90 days per year and I don't know in New Orleans there are into the agreement in the agreement a little part that talk about to eliminate all the listings in the center in the in the in the center in the downtown of the city I think that every city has to deal with that about having and work on his car David characteristics but it because it's very different from one city to another yeah but are we doing enough in Barcelona do you think is this what was what kind of say this is the cities that are references all over the all over Europe are Barcelona creating you know connections with these cities are they trying to solve this problem last year and on their individual face Barcelona that is an event that we share organized here and we put in contact with the person in Amsterdam that that major the relation the revelation that they are in contact but you know that in in Spain in general all the tourism issues are delegated to the one of the rent in issue is delegated to the city halls and generally taught or other statements like this has another role in this in the situation that is it's like it's like in difficult to arrive between them into a a solution right right it's true that you say you you said it earlier as well both you're talking about how you know big companies are scaling and then dedicating I want to grow fast do you feel that you know governments can they ever can ever you know support the kind of growth that you are wishing for yourself mmm wow it's a difficult question because at the end first on a European level there is that there are some guidelines that they presented in engine that support the sharing economy and also basically they try to present a guide for countries to regulate the sharing economy but then what happens is that there are many levels on on regulations so there is the European Commission and there is each country's regulation some local regulations as well and even city regulations so at the end these effects too many levels and some companies are affected by a lot of levels some more countries that are faster than others to define this blu-ray limits between citizens and professionals and when an addean it's all about defining these limits and very clearly establishing some rules that make the traditional companies and the new economy or the new collaborative economy compatible in a way that it's fair for everybody yeah exactly and about your traveling all over the world and Europe in general and you're seeing all these different cities and how they are adapting to this kind of new economy how is pain compared with the rest of Europe as you think a lot we are a kind of a hot spot in both positive and problematic way I mean there are some studies from European Union also mentioning that we are one of the countries with more activity from the users or like I think it was six percent of the users according to this study have offered either as a room or a car or something on piona like bathroom like volleyball or participated on a crowdfunding so we're quite active and the number of platforms in Spain is pretty large and the adoption is is also quite massive I think you can ask around so from terms of platforms and activity we are quite well right i would say between France UK in Spain we are the top three countries probably at frans a little bit ahead yeah and we're probably the number one in in conflicts yeah I don't know I mean we should ask what's the current regulation scheme that Gemma was explaining especially at national and local level there are some things that are not about legal debate or economic debate its political debate as Lucy also hinted so I think its a mix and and the power of some of the lobbies that we have for example out of the sharing economy we have the energy lobby which is a very famous in postal soul which is very unique around the wall and this is because we have certain types of schemas here and maybe not the sectors that are heavily regulated right the same is happening but I think the level of adoption from the users also will will have some pressure on that under respect and I would say we are little bit slow on innovation on the regulation using technology to for example what am I was a no measure what is the level activity of these these companies of there and maybe the city has a cannon can set a cap a limit to some of this activity but maybe not by last by license but by capping the number of activity as a whole so there are other approaches for example one of the ones I like a larceny was in Sao Paulo in Brazil they actually created a kind of a schema where the peer-to-peer ride-sharing companies or the uber type of thing that basically you were there they need to buy kilometers so there is a sub also is a stock yeah let's say of kilometers and in order to operate and there is a limit they need they need to buy kilometres there's a bit an interesting way so and and the thing is not so much how to regulate that I think we have examples on how to regulate but how to monitor how to enforce how to use technology in a smart way to actually keep control that the regulation is applied and I think we have we have some opportunity there and neither in Spain i would say nor in almost anywhere else have been used that opportunity yet well you're on transportation german what what do you think of this this kind of solutions well i think it's necessary to define the limits and the well basically to define the differences between the professional services and also this sharing economy or basically sharing costs models and at the end this depends on each of these areas some countries are approaching this as a whole like they defined that there is a an amount for any train economy related activity for a user but some other countries are trying to be specific on its superior I think it's better to approach on the latest so to be specific on its sub area but this requires quite a lot of technical legislative work to understand models to understand the costs and different systems to analyze this and as an example this kind of solutions I think it's quite smart to find this solution like a pool of kilometers or a pool of days per year and I heard that some countries like Belgium for example they have defined our same activity in a very specific way and you can earn maximum of an X amount per year you can rent a car maximum 60 days per year in a way of sharing costs then if you surpass this limit you are a professional doing this activity so understanding these barriers or this lines more than mark these lines is important because then the the traditional companies can feel more comfortable otherwise they feel that you are playing with different roles and they have very strict rules international company so that's why they put pressure and they love it to change the regulations or do for bit on this ends I think at the end we all want the same which is we want a clear understanding of what's fair for the platform for the users and also a traditional company yeah but Disney's we defined by the administration and it's not easy hmm i think the other approach that also it's an innovation its try a trial and error or knows where the startup world he exactly so startups always make a lot of mistakes but learn on the way so regulators try to make it perfect from looking at it during three years and it's not going to happen no you need to try maybe set a threshold of something and maybe move this threshold up or down depending on what's going on and what you measure now in France for example they personally approved a law where specifically if you are renting your car and it's above 7600 or something like that eros then you need to become a freelance it's super specific the same with an and in the same regulation in hamster they start with I think 90 days and now it's becoming 60 days and they are have an agreement a technical agreement with Airbnb to share some data and twin forties regulation and they will block the so the first very and actually this agreement that they sign has a duration of two years they agreed to review the agreement in two years because this is going so fast that is impossible to forecast what's going to happen so it's a start do something in a kind of a lean approach also with regulation and we are and here we are more like a paralysis analysis yeah a bad thing I was about to say Lucy are you you're you're in the government working with them are you afraid to fail yes externally is like I don't know how to start it she said them that the person one of the person i mean i'm working with a generator catalonia i even know how to star but it start with something i don't know you have reference now you have found seven you have london you have new orleans in New York there is some room that is call it one host one home yeah right right exactly then at the end I think that is very very you can you can be very specific in every city then start with something and you can revise insist moans one month I don't know but it but you have to start because citizens are demanding are demanding rules and undemanding are demanding limits and are demanding agreements right and I thought about saying that the adoption of these platforms are a huge in Spain in general people are using this platform son and in spite of people using a lot I feel like there's the people that are seeing these platforms as a problem are screaming the loudest loudest sand the people that are seeing it as a solution you know they're they're a bit quiet because you know it's still you know in a gray zone do you feel like that you know the people that are seeing this is a problems there screaming in loudness and that's why the politicians are on their side or what do you think i think that the tension that the city hall or the generator de catalunya is half with a B&B Oh with with these platforms are translating to the to the people known in the industry and I think that this is a very big mistake because people effectively they they don't they don't know how to how to how to work with with that they they are I am they they don't want to fall in one hand to put their apartments into the platform but the more of the people most of the people need the money to arrive to the end of the month to survive now then it's a good way also to to have an income and and a lot of people that they need yeah and one of interesting things that is happening wrestling and I'm really excited for that for next year yeah is the kind of the user guild a user producers people who are offering their car or in their home or they are active in different platforms or they are drivers in some of these platforms there's thing to organize themselves as a collective we have a good example here in Barcelona with a subset of the Airbnb users and not only our B&B other persons to people who are renting either room in their house or their full house when they are not there so there's a subset of the activity function at home sharing activity and and they grouped themselves something called by indie mp3 on Taylor salona and they are loving for their own interest both in front of the government and in front of the platform okay so it's a third actor and I think we are going to see more and more of these kind of gills appearing the probably next year because people will will will have this need of defend around rights and it's not about confrontational but it's very often it's very positive so it's not like trying to forbid something it's just we leave the bottle and so on it's very creative but its necessary to do have this protection what do you think these platforms are they protecting their you know their evangelist and our sales agents like the people that are on these platforms how necessary is it for for everyone to you know join a kind of organization because I guess a lot of people that are listening and seeing this they have rented their car maybe they have you know rented their house or apartment or a room how necessary is it to you know become a member of some kind of guilt like this what do you think with you know I think that is necessary people wants to participate wants to participate in the production of value but wants to participate in taking decisions or with all the technicians in the relationship that has with platforms and with public administrations and in the in the sense that they want to to know to to be part of the decisions of the product or service that they want to consume or they they want to develop then people wants to participate and people is empowered now and very connected then is that whether that is going on and is very liquid nice developing in an organic way and very very important that because we are worried and now about the platform that we know now but innovation is going on and is going alone then I think that it's very important the power of the innovation on regulation that's important and jemmye you you have a lot of people you know using your platform how are you protecting you know your people not long ago two weeks ago we did the first meeting for users in Barcelona and it went quite well because we had 20 power owners the owners that love us and that they met the exchanges information how they are doing what works for them the prices that they said on how they do so this kind of meetings that we started to have them in France a few years ago they work quite well because people meet each other they can exchange all around the tips and tricks on how they use the platform and so and it's a way to to give this sense of community of these users who are using our platform and at the end this could happen also on the other side which is the the people who rent cars as well so we did it for the owners so car owners but could happen on the other side see I think that that platforms in the collaborative economy done don't don't one develop well if they have if they not have a community this is very very important for me is very important the sense of community because at the end if notice if the platform has not a community is a digital platform it's not a sharing economy platfor is not another type of or on-demand platform know in the in the collaborative economy that I think that the point of that to have a community who shared values and it's very very important but how do you feel platforms like Airbnb uber the biggest on blah blah car how are they doing this a B&B matin even one month on ago ago in Los Angeles ill open air BnB I was there and it was like immunity berry engagement with the company and it's like a mental sense of our sensitive sense of of I I belong to a community very cool now and that's it's like one it's very it's incredible a B&B has a community very engagement with them okay the bony session home so these companies as I mentioned that they had like a kind of like a difficult track record the last two years of dealing with the government but lets you know picture like a scenario where Airbnb and uber would enter Barcelona for the first time tomorrow oh but what about you think how should they do it differently this time 22 you know nuts you know clinch with the government what about is your advice no I think it's a complicated one but probably if you would the first thing is to have also on the site of the regional and local governments people who are expert and who can deal with that because also in public comm friends we've heard we were we were sitting in front of some of these companies we had not no idea what they were doing how to deal with them and that has been set by government officials in public public events and I think that but it was good to recognize this position but it's also important that the government gets ready for that on one side and on the site of the companies also really understand the local regulations and especially over had recognized that the way they started to operate in many many cities in the past was incorrect they also said that in public and now they are trying to be a little a little softer and to understand what the situation and to have dialogues and tables with the with the cities mmm and an onion and try to help and be proposed ative on on the waist to regulate know every bee they just really release something called regulation let's do the tool chest which is a 20 pages document with some ideas on how to regulate their BMP ok so we propose something and then so being being positive on finding solutions know for example for the future of work but it's also a big topic with people organizing all this income as their main source of income as an aggregated generated some mmm there are a proposal from etsy etsy is an american company kind of ebay for handmade stuff and vintage people are making some of them are artisans and making a lot of money through etsy so they are making some proposal how to reinvent social security and an income stability and it's a proposal from the public policy department of HC which is very interesting so these companies also need to help to innovate and make proposals not just try to and and try to find a middle ground yeah we're talking about different terms there and it's a bit something else but it's still very connected because we're talking about the sharing economy the collaborative economy the other day I heard have to let some cross-dressing you know if there are so many terms and people are using them you know differently and you're you're like the expert so I think I guess you have a very you know clear mind of what to use when but for people in general it's like a bunch of words alyssia should we leave sharing economy behind is this word that we should use or what what should we say no I don't think so because sharing economy is not only a term is a movement it's another way of doing things it's more sustainable and cheering economy put the tools the burn and and to do what they need in each moment then it's not all about a collaborative consumption platforms is about is about governance is of a participation is about a lot of things and I think that the sharing economy tear or collaborative column we prefer collaborative economy because it's the translation that we made in at the beginning from the sharing economy term and I think that this is a movement and as a movement I think that is good the term Robert if economy right what yeah what would the way I'm explaining recently also after listening I don't under I Jen with a professor at New York University and I recommend to follow his work because his he's quite interesting on the terminology for example he he wrote a book recently and the hitter forced him to you to have the sharing economy as title because it's the most popular term and people would not understand what you're talking about if you are trying to push for another term then in then in the subtitle it's understanding or the effects of work and the feet of work in the cloud capitalism if you are not changing the general schema of selling renting like monetary exchange I think that I'm kind of capitalism is quite interesting and quite quite precise for that and it's a subset of that of the companies that we see where people are renting selling or using their time and selling their time for for for some money and then so these companies are competing inside the capitalist system with the tradition version that one that one thing and then inside this quality economy big broad term you also see companies who are trying to have exchanges sharing the cost or giving something for free or using alternative currencies so or creating Commons so who are trying to compete with the system no not not not inside the system and that's why confusing and some people complain that this isn't it is not precise now this is the way I'm trying to explain it rationally and I think it helped the obvious stuff but everything changed very fast because because I think that that that then next is the platforms of the collaborative economy integrating the traditional model right right yeah yeah exactly how are you facing yourself yeah yeah and I think one of the keys is whatever said the term sharing economy it's not very precise and I think it's more like a label and it can be used on many levels so there are the most pure sharing economy level I don't think a platform like diving could be applied to a pure sharing economy because we are a company and as a platform we want to make our technology better and better and make money as well so at the end we have this attack but it could be a different one because our main focus as a platform is to explode this opportunity that is the new technology and the revolution that we are in which is not only the mobility revolution how cars will be in the next five years we don't know but we know that cars are changing a lot how people share their assets and specially cars will change a lot and at the same time the on-demand economy is something very new we could also be considered on the man as well so it's tags that you apply and retain platforms are more pure on a specific tag and others less and especially there are some companies or platforms trying to benefit from these tags in a way that it's maybe not the purest term but I I think that as a blah form our main focus is to have a product or have a service that is the best for the user that creates value in a way that it's super easy and this technology that we are developing that we are creating and for example on dr e now apart from our absence oh you can install a device in your car so you can as a sum owner enable rentals without physically meet and by activating the car and then the person renting opens the car with a smartphone so this we call it drive you open all this technology facilitates the way of doing this kind of new interactions and this is creating a new new service that that we are trying to offer that is more on the on demand side you want a car you click tap on on the smartphone and you have one so we are all on many ways of the spectrum but some companies are more on one side so on the other side and unshrink economies just attack there is there's an interesting work from another American professor called Boyd coil what probably lives in Barcelona he created a comp ask in a circle with six axis a little bit what am I was saying so d and what you do is you characterize the company that is you apply that the label sharing economy but then you analyze our their market oriented so they are have monetary exchange they are sharing sharing costs or they are doing something for free or alternative currencies and tentative value exchange are they're using private technology something into him or something something in between or open technologies do they have a traditional approach for companies centrally stick with shareholders or they are closer to a cooperative model and a half six axis and you actually what you do is characterized the the company and we will see the coexistence of different types of companies and approach in the sector so for example in tourism Airbnb stem always known well known one which we the more traditional in terms of company and in terms of monetary exchange is very traditional although they organized they offer end of the man in a different way they optimize that but then you have home exchange where the value is not change in a different way or you have cultural thing that calls for free and it's a social exchange so we will see that also in mobility and other sectors diff different different types and people will choose and we'll have an ecosystem of different options that's it and two to run yourself we could be talking for hours but its way we gotta wrap it up somehow and that's the last question 2016 has been quite a year with a lot of conflicts but you know the year is ending soon and we're going into a new year yeah you're involved with Barcelona Activa and and you know government and everything what do you think of the next year it's gonna be another year with conflicts what do you think no i don't think so i think that we are going on if it will be the year of the a of the agreements of the agreements of the rebooting limits on the manage manage in terms of Tiryns is basic know that it's very important to manage not only to to complain you know not only to to be what is grown but also to to develop a good a strategic plan for a half alone or long-term not for the next year alone half over long-term yeah and in that case i think that they are very they are ready to do it after this year that is still being hard yeah i'll tell you optimistic as well for the next year I'm an optimistic person in general yeah i think i think i have things will evolve and and i think also what type of not only locally but globally so we are we are getting a global knowledge on it on this topic that we can and we can tap into and i think more of this knowledge is being shared among cities and they are coordinating better and better and i think it will be at the year also of the of the cities and the sharing economy and we shall fest in in Paris is going to be devoted to the cities because it is space 9 I think we'll see more of this regulation coming to coming to the cities and Richard Richard debate and sharing and sharing best practices

Barcelona has been notoriously known for opposing the sharing economy and collaborative economy platforms such as Airbnb and Uber, as well as BlaBlaCar, even though the population are using the platforms more than most European citizens. We talked with Albert Canigueral, a thought leader in terms of innovative regulations and head of the Ouishare movement in Spain. Lucia Fernandez, another pioneer in the sharing economy community in Europe, working with Barcelona Activia, Ouishare and the local government in Barcelona, and Jaume Suñol, country manager of P2P car rental service Drivy. They all shared valuable insights from the relatively new world of the crowd capitalism, and how to fix the conflict between the sharing economy and authorities.

[01:14] appreciate  you  coming  thank  you  every
[01:18] 
[01:18] week  there's  something  new  from  the
[01:20] 
[01:20] battle  between  authorities  and  the
[01:22] 
[01:22] sharing  economy  our  collaborative
[01:24] 
[01:24] economy  like  Airbnb  uber  blah  blah  car
[01:27] 
[01:27] once  once  a  week  the  government  wins  the
[01:30] 
[01:30] battle  the  other  week  you  know  it's  the
[01:32] 
[01:32] platforms  that  that  wins  he  the  last  one
[01:34] 
[01:34] was  this  week  actually  when  the  Superior
[01:37] 
[01:37] Court  of  Catalunya  has  an  old  define  of
[01:40] 
[01:40] thirty  thousand  euros  imposed  by  the
[01:41] 
[01:41] government  two  years  ago  by  offering
[01:45] 
[01:45] tours  departments  illegally  and  also
[01:47] 
[01:47] possibly  making
[01:49] 
[01:49] mayor  other  Klaus  very  newly  fine  of  six
[01:53] 
[01:53] hundred  thousand  euros  last  month  not
[01:56] 
[01:56] not  binding  making  a  precedence  Albert
[02:00] 
[02:00] you've  been  writing  and  talking  about
[02:02] 
[02:02] these  things  for  years  now  this  these
[02:05] 
[02:05] fines  that  we're  seeing  in  the  paper  and
[02:08] 
[02:08] which  is  very  relevant  these  days  it's
[02:11] 
[02:11] just  populism  or  politics  or  or  this  is
[02:14] 
[02:14] a  good  way  of  dealing  with  these  issues
[02:16] 
[02:16] what  do  you  think  no  usually  and  it's
[02:19] 
[02:19] not  only  my  opinion  but  also  European
[02:21] 
[02:21] Union  opinion  that  find  and  for  binding
[02:24] 
[02:24] things  lead  and  boom  it's  not  it's  not
[02:28] 
[02:28] the  best  way  to  operate  dialogue  is
[02:30] 
[02:30] always  that  the  best  approach  and  in  the
[02:32] 
[02:32] specific  case  of  tourism  and  we'll  see  I
[02:34] 
[02:34] can  explain  it  more  in  more  detail  there
[02:36] 
[02:36] there  are  a  lot  of  cities  that  have
[02:38] 
[02:38] dealt  with  that  more  with  dialogue  and
[02:41] 
[02:41] separating  different  type  of  activities
[02:43] 
[02:43] that  in  Barcelona  which  we  still  have
[02:45] 
[02:45] like  bundle  and  the  same  umbrella  of
[02:47] 
[02:47] Elohim  enters  critical  where  there  are
[02:50] 
[02:50] different  activities  inside  there  that
[02:52] 
[02:52] need  to  be  separated  and  yeah  but  the
[02:56] 
[02:56] thing  is  we  are  in  a  new  territory  so  it
[02:59] 
[02:59] also  i  would  say  normal  that  we  have
[03:00] 
[03:00] this  kind  of  moment  and  behavior  so
[03:04] 
[03:04] people  are  trying  to  understand  what's
[03:05] 
[03:05] going  on  both  and  anything  or  just
[03:07] 
[03:07] important  to  separate  the  behavior  of
[03:09] 
[03:09] the  platform  themselves  or  the
[03:11] 
[03:11] marketplaces  and  end-users  and  we  see
[03:14] 
[03:14] there  there  will  be  responsibilities  and
[03:16] 
[03:16] rights  and  duties  for  all  this  part  and
[03:18] 
[03:18] we  are  still  making  them  up  so  it's
[03:20] 
[03:20] normal  that  we  are  a  little  bit  lost  and
[03:22] 
[03:22] and  jam  yeah  you  your  present  to  drive
[03:27] 
[03:27] you  here  today  and  we're  not  reading
[03:28] 
[03:28] about  driving  every  day  in  the  news
[03:30] 
[03:30] neither  in  Spain  nor  in  France  at  least
[03:33] 
[03:33] not  in  a  negative  way  seems  like  you
[03:35] 
[03:35] find  a  way  to  to  dealing  with  let  the
[03:38] 
[03:38] government  or  authorities  in  a  good  way
[03:41] 
[03:41] can  you  tell  how  are  you  how  are  you
[03:43] 
[03:43] doing  this  well  it's  a  bit  different
[03:46] 
[03:46] regulations  for  each  of  the  areas  or  the
[03:49] 
[03:49] soup  areas  and  in  our  case  what  we  do
[03:53] 
[03:53] basically  we  have  a  platform  where  we
[03:55] 
[03:55] connect  people  who  have  cars  and  they
[03:58] 
[03:58] don't  use  it  or  they  don't  use  it  very
[04:00] 
[04:00] often  and  people  who  need  a  car  for  a
[04:02] 
[04:02] weekend  or  or  or  holidays  so  this  the
[04:07] 
[04:07] users  who  are  renting  their  cars  to
[04:10] 
[04:10] other  users  this  is  considered  renting
[04:14] 
[04:14] without  a  driver  so  in  Spain  for  example
[04:17] 
[04:17] this  activity  doesn't  require  a  license
[04:19] 
[04:19] and  I  think  most  of  the  problems  that
[04:22] 
[04:22] are  surfacing  right  now  with  platforms
[04:25] 
[04:25] or  so  are  related  with  licenses  or
[04:27] 
[04:27] tourism  licenses  for  certain  things  or
[04:31] 
[04:31] taxi  licences  for  other  platforms  so  at
[04:34] 
[04:34] the  end  in  our  sub  area  maybe  that's  the
[04:37] 
[04:37] reason  why  we  are  not  on  on  the  on  the
[04:40] 
[04:40] run  on  the  regulation  part  but  it's
[04:43] 
[04:43] because  of  this  population  however  I
[04:46] 
[04:46] think  that  all  these  platforms  shares
[04:49] 
[04:49] certain  things  in  common  and  the  fact
[04:52] 
[04:52] that  the  users  are  becoming  not  only
[04:54] 
[04:54] consumers  but  also  producers  so  the
[04:57] 
[04:57] prosumer  rolled  at  Alberton  and  Lucy  I
[05:01] 
[05:01] can  explain  much  better  and  this  is  all
[05:04] 
[05:04] so  new  and  this  creates  tension  so  all
[05:07] 
[05:07] the  old  companies  or  the  traditional
[05:10] 
[05:10] models  so  at  the  end  and  being  very
[05:13] 
[05:13] aware  of  all  these  changes  and  trying  to
[05:16] 
[05:16] adapt  the  regulation  in  a  first  way  is
[05:20] 
[05:20] key  otherwise  we  will  see  these  kind  of
[05:23] 
[05:23] fines  and  problems  and  tensions  hmmm  and
[05:26] 
[05:26] Lucia  you're  the  expert  here  because
[05:28] 
[05:28] we're  talking  about  for  example  Airbnb
[05:31] 
[05:31] which  is  very
[05:32] 
[05:32] connected  with  tourism  what  are  your
[05:35] 
[05:35] thoughts  of  the  latest  you  know  articles
[05:37] 
[05:37] in  newspapers  well  I  think  that  a  we
[05:40] 
[05:40] omit  the  brown  with  your  vm  being
[05:43] 
[05:43] Barcelona  is  about  political  issue  I
[05:46] 
[05:46] think  that  the  best  way  to  address  this
[05:50] 
[05:50] this  problem  is  to  how  Albert  set  is  to
[05:54] 
[05:54] talk  about  it  and  to  make  agreements  on
[05:58] 
[05:58] what  is  the  the  best  the  best  way  to  to
[06:02] 
[06:03] deal  with  this  with  these  technologies
[06:05] 
[06:05] no  I  BMB  I  think  that  is  it  has  a  scare
[06:09] 
[06:09] in  a  big  way  and  it's  normal  that
[06:12] 
[06:12] traditional  sector  is  worried  about  how
[06:15] 
[06:15] they  they  they  understand  that  this
[06:18] 
[06:18] thing  no  but  I  think  that  they  they  need
[06:21] 
[06:21] to  understand  that  a  vm  b  is  a
[06:23] 
[06:23] representative  business  mobile  it's  a
[06:25] 
[06:25] platform  model  and  is  that  users  wants
[06:29] 
[06:29] and  they  have  to  to  integrate  or  2010
[06:32] 
[06:32] first  and  integrate  is  this  type  of
[06:34] 
[06:34] models  into  debt  ratio  models  and  it  was
[06:37] 
[06:37] thrown  anything  that  they  have  to
[06:38] 
[06:39] dialogue  and  try  to  define  an  agreement
[06:42] 
[06:42] know  as  add  other  cities  in  europe
[06:44] 
[06:44] headstone  so  think  maybe  you  can
[06:48] 
[06:48] elaborate  a  little  bit  more  on  the  other
[06:49] 
[06:49] cities  with  nothing  there  are  some
[06:51] 
[06:51] examples  which  are  generally  go  Dustin
[06:53] 
[06:53] maybe  not  perfect  but  at  least  our
[06:55] 
[06:55] reference  know  if  it's  sure  a  reference
[06:57] 
[06:57] in  I'm  sorry  me  is  the  most  proactive  on
[07:00] 
[07:00] this  way  by  the  way  they  do  the  first
[07:03] 
[07:03] Home  Sharing  regulation  in  Europe  and
[07:06] 
[07:06] now  has  sinus  had  just  signed  an
[07:09] 
[07:09] agreement  with  a  BM  be  putting  limits
[07:11] 
[07:11] for  example  in  how  many  days  the  host
[07:15] 
[07:15] could  run  their  rooms  or  apartments
[07:18] 
[07:18] there  are  60  days  per  year  but  is  the
[07:22] 
[07:22] same  that  London  has  done  and  your  limbs
[07:25] 
[07:25] right  is  90  days  per  year  and  I  don't
[07:29] 
[07:29] know  in  New  Orleans  there  are  into  the
[07:32] 
[07:32] agreement  in  the  agreement
[07:34] 
[07:34] a  little  part  that  talk  about  to
[07:37] 
[07:37] eliminate  all  the  listings  in  the  center
[07:39] 
[07:39] in  the  in  the  in  the  center  in  the
[07:42] 
[07:42] downtown  of  the  city  I  think  that  every
[07:45] 
[07:45] city  has  to  deal  with  that  about  having
[07:49] 
[07:49] and  work  on  his  car  David
[07:52] 
[07:52] characteristics  but  it  because  it's  very
[07:54] 
[07:54] different  from  one  city  to  another  yeah
[07:56] 
[07:56] but  are  we  doing  enough  in  Barcelona  do
[07:59] 
[07:59] you  think  is  this  what  was  what  kind  of
[08:03] 
[08:03] say  this  is  the  cities  that  are
[08:05] 
[08:05] references  all  over  the  all  over  Europe
[08:07] 
[08:07] are  Barcelona  creating  you  know
[08:09] 
[08:09] connections  with  these  cities  are  they
[08:11] 
[08:11] trying  to  solve  this  problem  last  year
[08:14] 
[08:14] and  on  their  individual  face  Barcelona
[08:16] 
[08:16] that  is  an  event  that  we  share  organized
[08:18] 
[08:18] here  and  we  put  in  contact  with  the
[08:22] 
[08:22] person  in  Amsterdam  that  that  major  the
[08:24] 
[08:24] relation  the  revelation  that  they  are  in
[08:26] 
[08:26] contact  but  you  know  that  in  in  Spain  in
[08:30] 
[08:30] general  all  the  tourism  issues  are
[08:33] 
[08:34] delegated  to  the  one  of  the  rent  in
[08:36] 
[08:36] issue  is  delegated  to  the  city  halls  and
[08:40] 
[08:40] generally  taught  or  other  statements
[08:42] 
[08:42] like  this  has  another  role  in  this  in
[08:45] 
[08:45] the  situation  that  is  it's  like  it's
[08:49] 
[08:49] like  in  difficult  to  arrive  between  them
[08:52] 
[08:52] into  a  a  solution  right  right  it's  true
[08:56] 
[08:56] that  you  say  you  you  said  it  earlier  as
[08:58] 
[08:58] well  both  you're  talking  about  how  you
[09:00] 
[09:00] know  big  companies  are  scaling  and  then
[09:02] 
[09:02] dedicating  I  want  to  grow  fast  do  you
[09:05] 
[09:05] feel  that  you  know  governments  can  they
[09:07] 
[09:07] ever  can  ever  you  know  support  the  kind
[09:10] 
[09:10] of  growth  that  you  are  wishing  for
[09:11] 
[09:11] yourself  mmm  wow  it's  a  difficult
[09:15] 
[09:15] question  because  at  the  end  first  on  a
[09:19] 
[09:19] European  level  there  is  that  there  are
[09:23] 
[09:23] some  guidelines  that  they  presented  in
[09:25] 
[09:25] engine  that  support  the  sharing  economy
[09:28] 
[09:28] and  also  basically  they  try  to  present  a
[09:34] 
[09:34] guide  for  countries  to  regulate  the
[09:36] 
[09:36] sharing  economy  but  then  what  happens  is
[09:40] 
[09:40] that  there  are  many  levels  on  on
[09:42] 
[09:42] regulations  so  there  is  the  European
[09:44] 
[09:44] Commission  and  there  is  each  country's
[09:46] 
[09:47] regulation  some  local  regulations  as
[09:50] 
[09:50] well  and  even  city  regulations  so  at  the
[09:53] 
[09:53] end  these  effects  too  many  levels  and
[09:56] 
[09:56] some  companies  are  affected  by  a  lot  of
[09:59] 
[09:59] levels  some  more  countries  that  are
[10:01] 
[10:01] faster  than  others  to  define  this
[10:05] 
[10:05] blu-ray  limits  between  citizens  and
[10:09] 
[10:09] professionals  and  when  an  addean  it's
[10:13] 
[10:13] all  about  defining  these  limits  and  very
[10:17] 
[10:17] clearly  establishing  some  rules  that
[10:21] 
[10:21] make  the  traditional  companies  and  the
[10:25] 
[10:25] new  economy  or  the  new  collaborative
[10:27] 
[10:27] economy  compatible  in  a  way  that  it's
[10:30] 
[10:30] fair  for  everybody  yeah  exactly  and
[10:32] 
[10:32] about  your  traveling  all  over  the  world
[10:34] 
[10:34] and  Europe  in  general  and  you're  seeing
[10:37] 
[10:37] all  these  different  cities  and  how  they
[10:39] 
[10:39] are  adapting  to  this  kind  of  new  economy
[10:41] 
[10:41] how  is  pain  compared  with  the  rest  of
[10:43] 
[10:43] Europe  as  you  think  a  lot  we  are  a  kind
[10:46] 
[10:46] of  a  hot  spot  in  both  positive  and
[10:50] 
[10:50] problematic  way  I  mean  there  are  some
[10:53] 
[10:53] studies  from  European  Union  also
[10:54] 
[10:54] mentioning  that  we  are  one  of  the
[10:57] 
[10:57] countries  with  more  activity  from  the
[10:58] 
[10:58] users  or  like  I  think  it  was  six  percent
[11:00] 
[11:00] of  the  users  according  to  this  study
[11:02] 
[11:02] have  offered  either  as  a  room  or  a  car
[11:06] 
[11:06] or  something  on  piona  like  bathroom  like
[11:10] 
[11:10] volleyball  or  participated  on  a
[11:12] 
[11:12] crowdfunding  so  we're  quite  active  and
[11:14] 
[11:14] the  number  of  platforms  in  Spain  is
[11:16] 
[11:16] pretty  large  and  the  adoption  is  is  also
[11:19] 
[11:19] quite  massive  I  think  you  can  ask  around
[11:20] 
[11:20] so  from  terms  of  platforms  and  activity
[11:23] 
[11:23] we  are  quite  well  right  i  would  say
[11:25] 
[11:25] between  France  UK  in  Spain  we  are  the
[11:28] 
[11:28] top  three  countries  probably  at  frans  a
[11:30] 
[11:30] little  bit  ahead  yeah  and  we're  probably
[11:33] 
[11:33] the  number  one  in  in  conflicts  yeah
[11:36] 
[11:36] I  don't  know  I  mean  we  should  ask  what's
[11:40] 
[11:40] the  current  regulation  scheme  that  Gemma
[11:42] 
[11:42] was  explaining  especially  at  national
[11:45] 
[11:45] and  local  level  there  are  some  things
[11:48] 
[11:48] that  are  not  about  legal  debate  or
[11:51] 
[11:51] economic  debate  its  political  debate  as
[11:53] 
[11:53] Lucy  also  hinted  so  I  think  its  a  mix
[11:56] 
[11:56] and  and  the  power  of  some  of  the  lobbies
[11:58] 
[11:58] that  we  have  for  example  out  of  the
[12:00] 
[12:00] sharing  economy  we  have  the  energy  lobby
[12:02] 
[12:02] which  is  a  very  famous  in  postal  soul
[12:04] 
[12:04] which  is  very  unique  around  the  wall  and
[12:07] 
[12:07] this  is  because  we  have  certain  types  of
[12:10] 
[12:10] schemas  here  and  maybe  not  the  sectors
[12:12] 
[12:12] that  are  heavily  regulated  right  the
[12:15] 
[12:15] same  is  happening  but  I  think  the  level
[12:18] 
[12:18] of  adoption  from  the  users  also  will
[12:19] 
[12:19] will  have  some  pressure  on  that  under
[12:22] 
[12:22] respect  and  I  would  say  we  are  little
[12:24] 
[12:24] bit  slow  on  innovation  on  the  regulation
[12:27] 
[12:27] using  technology  to  for  example  what  am
[12:31] 
[12:31] I  was  a  no  measure  what  is  the  level
[12:33] 
[12:33] activity  of  these  these  companies  of
[12:35] 
[12:35] there  and  maybe  the  city  has  a  cannon
[12:38] 
[12:38] can  set  a  cap  a  limit  to  some  of  this
[12:40] 
[12:40] activity  but  maybe  not  by  last  by
[12:42] 
[12:42] license  but  by  capping  the  number  of
[12:44] 
[12:44] activity  as  a  whole  so  there  are  other
[12:47] 
[12:47] approaches  for  example  one  of  the  ones  I
[12:49] 
[12:49] like  a  larceny  was  in  Sao  Paulo  in
[12:51] 
[12:51] Brazil  they  actually  created  a  kind  of  a
[12:55] 
[12:55] schema  where  the  peer-to-peer
[12:58] 
[12:58] ride-sharing  companies  or  the  uber  type
[13:00] 
[13:00] of  thing  that  basically  you  were  there
[13:02] 
[13:02] they  need  to  buy  kilometers  so  there  is
[13:05] 
[13:05] a  sub  also  is  a  stock  yeah  let's  say  of
[13:08] 
[13:08] kilometers  and  in  order  to  operate  and
[13:11] 
[13:11] there  is  a  limit  they  need  they  need  to
[13:13] 
[13:13] buy  kilometres  there's  a  bit  an
[13:15] 
[13:15] interesting  way  so  and  and  the  thing  is
[13:18] 
[13:18] not  so  much  how  to  regulate  that  I  think
[13:20] 
[13:20] we  have  examples  on  how  to  regulate  but
[13:22] 
[13:22] how  to  monitor  how  to  enforce  how  to  use
[13:24] 
[13:24] technology  in  a  smart  way  to  actually
[13:26] 
[13:26] keep  control  that  the  regulation  is
[13:28] 
[13:28] applied  and  I  think  we  have  we  have  some
[13:30] 
[13:30] opportunity  there  and  neither  in  Spain  i
[13:33] 
[13:34] would  say  nor  in  almost  anywhere  else
[13:35] 
[13:35] have  been  used  that  opportunity  yet  well
[13:38] 
[13:38] you're  on  transportation  german  what
[13:40] 
[13:40] what  do  you  think  of  this  this  kind  of
[13:41] 
[13:41] solutions  well  i  think  it's  necessary  to
[13:44] 
[13:44] define  the  limits  and  the  well  basically
[13:50] 
[13:50] to  define  the  differences  between  the
[13:54] 
[13:54] professional  services  and  also  this
[13:57] 
[13:57] sharing  economy  or  basically  sharing
[14:02] 
[14:02] costs  models  and  at  the  end  this  depends
[14:05] 
[14:05] on  each  of  these  areas  some  countries
[14:09] 
[14:09] are  approaching  this  as  a  whole  like
[14:11] 
[14:11] they  defined  that  there  is  a  an  amount
[14:15] 
[14:15] for  any  train  economy  related  activity
[14:19] 
[14:19] for  a  user  but  some  other  countries  are
[14:21] 
[14:21] trying  to  be  specific  on  its  superior  I
[14:24] 
[14:24] think  it's  better  to  approach  on  the
[14:27] 
[14:27] latest  so  to  be  specific  on  its  sub  area
[14:30] 
[14:30] but  this  requires  quite  a  lot  of
[14:32] 
[14:32] technical  legislative  work  to  understand
[14:38] 
[14:38] models  to  understand  the  costs  and
[14:40] 
[14:40] different  systems  to  analyze  this  and  as
[14:45] 
[14:45] an  example  this  kind  of  solutions  I
[14:47] 
[14:47] think  it's  quite  smart  to  find  this
[14:49] 
[14:49] solution  like  a  pool  of  kilometers  or  a
[14:53] 
[14:53] pool  of  days  per  year  and  I  heard  that
[14:57] 
[14:57] some  countries  like  Belgium  for  example
[14:59] 
[14:59] they  have  defined  our  same  activity  in  a
[15:03] 
[15:03] very  specific  way  and  you  can  earn
[15:05] 
[15:05] maximum  of  an  X  amount  per  year  you  can
[15:09] 
[15:09] rent  a  car  maximum  60  days  per  year  in  a
[15:13] 
[15:13] way  of  sharing  costs  then  if  you  surpass
[15:16] 
[15:16] this  limit  you  are  a  professional  doing
[15:19] 
[15:19] this  activity  so  understanding  these
[15:22] 
[15:22] barriers  or  this  lines  more  than  mark
[15:25] 
[15:25] these  lines  is  important  because  then
[15:28] 
[15:28] the  the  traditional  companies  can  feel
[15:31] 
[15:31] more  comfortable  otherwise  they  feel
[15:33] 
[15:33] that  you  are  playing  with  different
[15:36] 
[15:36] roles  and  they  have  very  strict  rules
[15:38] 
[15:38] international  company  so  that's  why  they
[15:40] 
[15:40] put  pressure  and  they  love  it  to  change
[15:43] 
[15:43] the  regulations  or  do  for  bit  on  this
[15:47] 
[15:47] ends  I  think  at  the  end  we  all  want  the
[15:50] 
[15:50] same  which  is  we  want  a  clear
[15:53] 
[15:53] understanding  of  what's  fair  for  the
[15:58] 
[15:58] platform  for  the  users  and
[16:00] 
[16:00] also  a  traditional  company  yeah  but
[16:02] 
[16:02] Disney's  we  defined  by  the
[16:04] 
[16:04] administration  and  it's  not  easy  hmm  i
[16:06] 
[16:06] think  the  other  approach  that  also  it's
[16:09] 
[16:09] an  innovation  its  try  a  trial  and  error
[16:11] 
[16:11] or  knows  where  the  startup  world  he
[16:13] 
[16:13] exactly  so  startups  always  make  a  lot  of
[16:16] 
[16:16] mistakes  but  learn  on  the  way  so
[16:18] 
[16:18] regulators  try  to  make  it  perfect  from
[16:21] 
[16:21] looking  at  it  during  three  years  and
[16:22] 
[16:22] it's  not  going  to  happen  no  you  need  to
[16:24] 
[16:24] try  maybe  set  a  threshold  of  something
[16:26] 
[16:26] and  maybe  move  this  threshold  up  or  down
[16:28] 
[16:28] depending  on  what's  going  on  and  what
[16:30] 
[16:30] you  measure  now  in  France  for  example
[16:32] 
[16:32] they  personally  approved  a  law  where
[16:35] 
[16:35] specifically  if  you  are  renting  your  car
[16:37] 
[16:37] and  it's  above  7600  or  something  like
[16:40] 
[16:40] that  eros  then  you  need  to  become  a
[16:42] 
[16:42] freelance  it's  super  specific  the  same
[16:45] 
[16:45] with  an  and  in  the  same  regulation  in
[16:47] 
[16:47] hamster  they  start  with  I  think  90  days
[16:50] 
[16:50] and  now  it's  becoming  60  days  and  they
[16:52] 
[16:52] are  have  an  agreement  a  technical
[16:54] 
[16:54] agreement  with  Airbnb  to  share  some  data
[16:55] 
[16:55] and  twin  forties  regulation  and  they
[16:58] 
[16:58] will  block  the  so  the  first  very  and
[17:00] 
[17:00] actually  this  agreement  that  they  sign
[17:02] 
[17:02] has  a  duration  of  two  years  they  agreed
[17:04] 
[17:04] to  review  the  agreement  in  two  years
[17:06] 
[17:06] because  this  is  going  so  fast  that  is
[17:08] 
[17:08] impossible  to  forecast  what's  going  to
[17:10] 
[17:10] happen  so  it's  a  start  do  something  in  a
[17:12] 
[17:12] kind  of  a  lean  approach  also  with
[17:15] 
[17:15] regulation  and  we  are  and  here  we  are
[17:16] 
[17:16] more  like  a  paralysis  analysis  yeah  a
[17:19] 
[17:19] bad  thing  I  was  about  to  say  Lucy  are
[17:23] 
[17:23] you  you're  you're  in  the  government
[17:24] 
[17:24] working  with  them  are  you  afraid  to  fail
[17:27] 
[17:27] yes  externally  is  like  I  don't  know  how
[17:31] 
[17:31] to  start  it  she  said  them  that  the
[17:33] 
[17:33] person  one  of  the  person  i  mean  i'm
[17:36] 
[17:36] working  with  a  generator  catalonia  i
[17:40] 
[17:40] even  know  how  to  star  but  it  start  with
[17:42] 
[17:42] something  i  don't  know  you  have
[17:44] 
[17:44] reference  now  you  have  found  seven  you
[17:46] 
[17:46] have  london  you  have  new  orleans  in  New
[17:48] 
[17:48] York  there  is  some  room
[17:50] 
[17:50] that  is  call  it  one  host  one  home  yeah
[17:54] 
[17:54] right  right  exactly  then  at  the  end  I
[17:58] 
[17:58] think  that  is  very  very  you  can  you  can
[18:00] 
[18:00] be  very  specific  in  every  city  then
[18:03] 
[18:03] start  with  something  and  you  can  revise
[18:06] 
[18:06] insist  moans  one  month  I  don't  know  but
[18:08] 
[18:08] it  but  you  have  to  start  because
[18:10] 
[18:10] citizens  are  demanding  are  demanding
[18:12] 
[18:12] rules  and  undemanding  are  demanding
[18:14] 
[18:14] limits  and  are  demanding  agreements
[18:17] 
[18:17] right  and  I  thought  about  saying  that
[18:19] 
[18:19] the  adoption  of  these  platforms  are  a
[18:20] 
[18:20] huge  in  Spain  in  general  people  are
[18:22] 
[18:22] using  this  platform  son  and  in  spite  of
[18:25] 
[18:25] people  using  a  lot  I  feel  like  there's
[18:27] 
[18:27] the  people  that  are  seeing  these
[18:29] 
[18:29] platforms  as  a  problem  are  screaming  the
[18:30] 
[18:30] loudest  loudest  sand  the  people  that  are
[18:32] 
[18:32] seeing  it  as  a  solution  you  know  they're
[18:34] 
[18:34] they're  a  bit  quiet  because  you  know
[18:36] 
[18:36] it's  still  you  know  in  a  gray  zone  do
[18:38] 
[18:38] you  feel  like  that  you  know  the  people
[18:40] 
[18:40] that  are  seeing  this  is  a  problems  there
[18:41] 
[18:41] screaming  in  loudness  and  that's  why  the
[18:43] 
[18:43] politicians  are  on  their  side  or  what  do
[18:45] 
[18:45] you  think  i  think  that  the  tension  that
[18:48] 
[18:48] the  city  hall  or  the  generator  de
[18:50] 
[18:50] catalunya  is  half  with  a  B&B  Oh  with
[18:53] 
[18:53] with  these  platforms  are  translating  to
[18:56] 
[18:56] the  to  the  people  known  in  the  industry
[18:58] 
[18:58] and  I  think  that  this  is  a  very  big
[19:02] 
[19:02] mistake  because  people  effectively  they
[19:05] 
[19:05] they  don't  they  don't  know  how  to  how  to
[19:09] 
[19:09] how  to  work  with  with  that  they  they  are
[19:11] 
[19:11] I  am  they  they  don't  want  to  fall  in  one
[19:17] 
[19:17] hand  to  put  their  apartments  into  the
[19:19] 
[19:19] platform  but  the  more  of  the  people  most
[19:22] 
[19:22] of  the  people  need  the  money  to  arrive
[19:24] 
[19:24] to  the  end  of  the  month  to  survive  now
[19:26] 
[19:26] then  it's  a  good  way  also  to  to  have  an
[19:29] 
[19:29] income  and  and  a  lot  of  people  that  they
[19:33] 
[19:33] need  yeah  and  one  of  interesting  things
[19:35] 
[19:35] that  is  happening  wrestling  and  I'm
[19:36] 
[19:36] really  excited  for  that  for  next  year
[19:38] 
[19:38] yeah  is  the  kind  of  the  user  guild  a
[19:41] 
[19:41] user  producers  people  who  are  offering
[19:43] 
[19:43] their  car  or  in  their  home  or  they  are
[19:45] 
[19:45] active  in  different  platforms  or  they
[19:47] 
[19:47] are  drivers  in  some  of  these  platforms
[19:48] 
[19:48] there's  thing  to  organize  themselves  as
[19:51] 
[19:51] a  collective  we  have  a  good  example  here
[19:53] 
[19:53] in  Barcelona  with  a  subset  of  the  Airbnb
[19:56] 
[19:56] users  and  not  only  our  B&B  other  persons
[19:58] 
[19:58] to  people  who  are  renting  either
[20:01] 
[20:01] room  in  their  house  or  their  full  house
[20:04] 
[20:04] when  they  are  not  there  so  there's  a
[20:05] 
[20:06] subset  of  the  activity  function  at  home
[20:08] 
[20:08] sharing  activity  and  and  they  grouped
[20:11] 
[20:11] themselves  something  called  by  indie  mp3
[20:13] 
[20:13] on  Taylor  salona  and  they  are  loving  for
[20:16] 
[20:16] their  own  interest  both  in  front  of  the
[20:20] 
[20:20] government  and  in  front  of  the  platform
[20:21] 
[20:21] okay  so  it's  a  third  actor  and  I  think
[20:24] 
[20:24] we  are  going  to  see  more  and  more  of
[20:25] 
[20:25] these  kind  of  gills  appearing  the
[20:29] 
[20:29] probably  next  year  because  people  will
[20:32] 
[20:32] will  will  have  this  need  of  defend
[20:34] 
[20:34] around  rights  and  it's  not  about
[20:36] 
[20:36] confrontational  but  it's  very  often  it's
[20:37] 
[20:37] very  positive  so  it's  not  like  trying  to
[20:40] 
[20:40] forbid  something  it's  just  we  leave  the
[20:42] 
[20:42] bottle  and  so  on  it's  very  creative  but
[20:43] 
[20:43] its  necessary  to  do  have  this  protection
[20:45] 
[20:45] what  do  you  think  these  platforms  are
[20:49] 
[20:49] they  protecting  their  you  know  their
[20:51] 
[20:51] evangelist  and  our  sales  agents  like  the
[20:53] 
[20:53] people  that  are  on  these  platforms
[20:56] 
[20:56] how  necessary  is  it  for  for  everyone  to
[20:59] 
[20:59] you  know  join  a  kind  of  organization
[21:00] 
[21:00] because  I  guess  a  lot  of  people  that  are
[21:02] 
[21:02] listening  and  seeing  this  they  have
[21:04] 
[21:04] rented  their  car  maybe  they  have  you
[21:06] 
[21:06] know  rented  their  house  or  apartment  or
[21:07] 
[21:07] a  room  how  necessary  is  it  to  you  know
[21:10] 
[21:10] become  a  member  of  some  kind  of  guilt
[21:12] 
[21:12] like  this  what  do  you  think  with  you
[21:13] 
[21:13] know  I  think  that  is  necessary  people
[21:15] 
[21:15] wants  to  participate  wants  to
[21:17] 
[21:17] participate  in  the  production  of  value
[21:18] 
[21:18] but  wants  to  participate  in  taking
[21:20] 
[21:20] decisions  or  with  all  the  technicians  in
[21:24] 
[21:24] the  relationship  that  has  with  platforms
[21:26] 
[21:26] and  with  public  administrations  and  in
[21:28] 
[21:28] the  in  the  sense  that  they  want  to  to
[21:31] 
[21:31] know  to  to  be  part  of  the  decisions  of
[21:34] 
[21:34] the  product  or  service  that  they  want  to
[21:36] 
[21:36] consume  or  they  they  want  to  develop
[21:38] 
[21:38] then  people  wants  to  participate  and
[21:41] 
[21:41] people  is  empowered  now  and  very
[21:43] 
[21:43] connected  then  is  that  whether  that  is
[21:45] 
[21:45] going  on  and  is  very  liquid  nice
[21:48] 
[21:48] developing  in  an  organic  way  and  very
[21:51] 
[21:51] very  important  that  because  we  are
[21:54] 
[21:54] worried  and  now  about  the  platform  that
[21:56] 
[21:56] we  know  now  but  innovation  is  going  on
[21:59] 
[21:59] and  is  going  alone  then  I  think  that
[22:03] 
[22:03] it's  very  important  the  power  of  the
[22:05] 
[22:05] innovation  on  regulation  that's
[22:06] 
[22:06] important  and  jemmye  you  you  have  a  lot
[22:09] 
[22:09] of  people  you  know  using  your  platform
[22:11] 
[22:11] how  are  you  protecting  you  know  your
[22:13] 
[22:13] people  not  long  ago  two  weeks  ago  we  did
[22:16] 
[22:16] the  first  meeting  for  users  in  Barcelona
[22:20] 
[22:20] and  it  went  quite  well  because  we  had  20
[22:23] 
[22:23] power  owners  the  owners  that  love  us  and
[22:26] 
[22:26] that  they  met  the  exchanges  information
[22:29] 
[22:29] how  they  are  doing  what  works  for  them
[22:31] 
[22:31] the  prices  that  they  said  on  how  they  do
[22:33] 
[22:33] so  this  kind  of  meetings  that  we  started
[22:36] 
[22:36] to  have  them  in  France  a  few  years  ago
[22:39] 
[22:39] they  work  quite  well  because  people  meet
[22:42] 
[22:42] each  other  they  can  exchange  all  around
[22:45] 
[22:45] the  tips  and  tricks  on  how  they  use  the
[22:47] 
[22:47] platform  and  so  and  it's  a  way  to  to
[22:50] 
[22:50] give  this  sense  of  community  of  these
[22:53] 
[22:53] users  who  are  using  our  platform  and  at
[22:57] 
[22:57] the  end  this  could  happen  also  on  the
[22:59] 
[22:59] other  side  which  is  the  the  people  who
[23:01] 
[23:01] rent  cars  as  well  so  we  did  it  for  the
[23:04] 
[23:04] owners  so  car  owners  but
[23:07] 
[23:07] could  happen  on  the  other  side  see  I
[23:09] 
[23:09] think  that  that  platforms  in  the
[23:12] 
[23:12] collaborative  economy  done  don't  don't
[23:17] 
[23:17] one  develop  well  if  they  have  if  they
[23:20] 
[23:20] not  have  a  community  this  is  very  very
[23:23] 
[23:23] important  for  me  is  very  important  the
[23:26] 
[23:26] sense  of  community  because  at  the  end  if
[23:28] 
[23:28] notice  if  the  platform  has  not  a
[23:31] 
[23:31] community  is  a  digital  platform  it's  not
[23:33] 
[23:33] a  sharing  economy  platfor  is  not  another
[23:35] 
[23:35] type  of  or  on-demand  platform  know  in
[23:39] 
[23:39] the  in  the  collaborative  economy  that  I
[23:40] 
[23:40] think  that  the  point  of  that  to  have  a
[23:42] 
[23:42] community  who  shared  values  and  it's
[23:45] 
[23:45] very  very  important  but  how  do  you  feel
[23:48] 
[23:48] platforms  like  Airbnb  uber  the  biggest
[23:50] 
[23:50] on  blah  blah  car  how  are  they  doing  this
[23:52] 
[23:52] a  B&B  matin  even  one  month  on  ago  ago  in
[23:58] 
[23:58] Los  Angeles  ill  open  air  BnB  I  was  there
[24:01] 
[24:01] and  it  was  like  immunity  berry
[24:05] 
[24:05] engagement  with  the  company  and  it's
[24:08] 
[24:08] like  a  mental  sense  of  our  sensitive
[24:12] 
[24:12] sense  of  of  I  I  belong  to  a  community
[24:16] 
[24:16] very  cool  now  and  that's  it's  like  one
[24:19] 
[24:19] it's  very  it's  incredible  a  B&B  has  a
[24:24] 
[24:24] community  very  engagement  with  them  okay
[24:27] 
[24:27] the  bony  session  home  so  these  companies
[24:31] 
[24:31] as  I  mentioned  that  they  had  like  a  kind
[24:34] 
[24:34] of  like  a  difficult  track  record  the
[24:36] 
[24:36] last  two  years  of  dealing  with  the
[24:37] 
[24:37] government  but  lets  you  know  picture
[24:40] 
[24:40] like  a  scenario  where  Airbnb  and  uber
[24:42] 
[24:42] would  enter  Barcelona  for  the  first  time
[24:45] 
[24:45] tomorrow  oh  but  what  about  you  think  how
[24:48] 
[24:48] should  they  do  it  differently  this  time
[24:50] 
[24:50] 22  you  know  nuts  you  know  clinch  with
[24:54] 
[24:54] the  government  what  about  is  your  advice
[24:56] 
[24:56] no  I  think  it's  a  complicated  one  but
[25:02] 
[25:02] probably  if  you  would  the  first  thing  is
[25:05] 
[25:05] to  have  also  on  the  site  of  the  regional
[25:08] 
[25:08] and  local  governments  people  who  are
[25:09] 
[25:09] expert  and  who  can  deal  with  that
[25:10] 
[25:10] because  also  in  public  comm  friends
[25:12] 
[25:12] we've  heard  we  were  we  were  sitting  in
[25:15] 
[25:15] front  of  some  of  these  companies
[25:19] 
[25:19] we  had  not  no  idea  what  they  were  doing
[25:21] 
[25:21] how  to  deal  with  them  and  that  has  been
[25:24] 
[25:25] set  by  government  officials  in  public
[25:27] 
[25:27] public  events  and  I  think  that  but  it
[25:29] 
[25:29] was  good  to  recognize  this  position  but
[25:32] 
[25:32] it's  also  important  that  the  government
[25:34] 
[25:34] gets  ready  for  that  on  one  side  and  on
[25:37] 
[25:37] the  site  of  the  companies  also  really
[25:39] 
[25:39] understand  the  local  regulations  and
[25:41] 
[25:41] especially  over  had  recognized  that  the
[25:43] 
[25:43] way  they  started  to  operate  in  many  many
[25:45] 
[25:45] cities  in  the  past  was  incorrect  they
[25:47] 
[25:47] also  said  that  in  public  and  now  they
[25:50] 
[25:50] are  trying  to  be  a  little  a  little
[25:51] 
[25:51] softer  and  to  understand  what  the
[25:52] 
[25:52] situation  and  to  have  dialogues  and
[25:54] 
[25:54] tables  with  the  with  the  cities  mmm  and
[25:58] 
[25:58] an  onion  and  try  to  help  and  be  proposed
[26:01] 
[26:01] ative  on  on  the  waist  to  regulate  know
[26:03] 
[26:03] every  bee  they  just  really  release
[26:06] 
[26:06] something  called  regulation  let's  do  the
[26:10] 
[26:10] tool  chest  which  is  a  20  pages  document
[26:12] 
[26:12] with  some  ideas  on  how  to  regulate  their
[26:14] 
[26:14] BMP  ok  so  we  propose  something  and  then
[26:16] 
[26:16] so  being  being  positive  on  finding
[26:19] 
[26:19] solutions  know  for  example  for  the
[26:21] 
[26:21] future  of  work  but  it's  also  a  big  topic
[26:23] 
[26:23] with  people  organizing  all  this  income
[26:25] 
[26:25] as  their  main  source  of  income  as  an
[26:28] 
[26:28] aggregated  generated  some  mmm  there  are
[26:31] 
[26:31] a  proposal  from  etsy  etsy  is  an  american
[26:34] 
[26:34] company  kind  of  ebay  for  handmade  stuff
[26:37] 
[26:37] and  vintage  people  are  making  some  of
[26:40] 
[26:40] them  are  artisans  and  making  a  lot  of
[26:41] 
[26:41] money  through  etsy  so  they  are  making
[26:43] 
[26:43] some  proposal  how  to  reinvent  social
[26:45] 
[26:45] security  and  an  income  stability  and
[26:48] 
[26:48] it's  a  proposal  from  the  public  policy
[26:50] 
[26:50] department  of  HC  which  is  very
[26:52] 
[26:52] interesting  so  these  companies  also  need
[26:54] 
[26:54] to  help  to  innovate  and  make  proposals
[26:56] 
[26:56] not  just  try  to  and  and  try  to  find  a
[26:59] 
[26:59] middle  ground  yeah  we're  talking  about
[27:03] 
[27:03] different  terms  there  and  it's  a  bit
[27:05] 
[27:05] something  else  but  it's  still  very
[27:06] 
[27:06] connected  because  we're  talking  about
[27:08] 
[27:08] the  sharing  economy  the  collaborative
[27:09] 
[27:09] economy
[27:10] 
[27:10] the  other  day  I  heard  have  to  let  some
[27:13] 
[27:13] cross-dressing  you  know  if  there  are  so
[27:16] 
[27:16] many  terms  and  people  are  using  them  you
[27:18] 
[27:18] know  differently  and  you're  you're  like
[27:20] 
[27:20] the  expert  so  I  think  I  guess  you  have  a
[27:22] 
[27:22] very  you  know  clear  mind  of  what  to  use
[27:24] 
[27:24] when  but  for  people  in  general  it's  like
[27:26] 
[27:26] a  bunch  of  words  alyssia  should  we  leave
[27:30] 
[27:30] sharing  economy  behind  is  this  word  that
[27:32] 
[27:32] we  should  use  or  what  what  should  we  say
[27:35] 
[27:35] no  I  don't  think  so  because  sharing
[27:37] 
[27:37] economy  is  not  only  a  term  is  a  movement
[27:41] 
[27:41] it's  another  way  of  doing  things  it's
[27:44] 
[27:44] more  sustainable  and  cheering  economy
[27:47] 
[27:47] put  the  tools  the  burn  and  and  to  do
[27:51] 
[27:51] what  they  need  in  each  moment  then  it's
[27:54] 
[27:54] not  all  about  a  collaborative
[27:56] 
[27:56] consumption  platforms  is  about  is  about
[27:59] 
[27:59] governance  is  of  a  participation  is
[28:02] 
[28:02] about  a  lot  of  things  and  I  think  that
[28:04] 
[28:04] the  sharing  economy  tear  or
[28:05] 
[28:05] collaborative  column  we  prefer
[28:07] 
[28:07] collaborative  economy  because  it's  the
[28:09] 
[28:09] translation  that  we  made  in  at  the
[28:12] 
[28:12] beginning  from  the  sharing  economy  term
[28:14] 
[28:14] and  I  think  that  this  is  a  movement  and
[28:18] 
[28:18] as  a  movement  I  think  that  is  good  the
[28:22] 
[28:22] term  Robert  if  economy  right  what  yeah
[28:25] 
[28:25] what  would  the  way  I'm  explaining
[28:26] 
[28:26] recently  also  after  listening  I  don't
[28:29] 
[28:29] under  I  Jen  with  a  professor  at  New  York
[28:31] 
[28:31] University  and  I  recommend  to  follow  his
[28:33] 
[28:33] work  because  his  he's  quite  interesting
[28:35] 
[28:35] on  the  terminology  for  example  he  he
[28:38] 
[28:38] wrote  a  book  recently  and  the  hitter
[28:40] 
[28:40] forced  him  to  you  to  have  the  sharing
[28:42] 
[28:42] economy  as  title  because  it's  the  most
[28:45] 
[28:45] popular  term  and  people  would  not
[28:46] 
[28:46] understand  what  you're  talking  about  if
[28:48] 
[28:48] you  are  trying  to  push  for  another  term
[28:50] 
[28:50] then  in  then  in  the  subtitle  it's
[28:53] 
[28:53] understanding  or  the  effects  of  work  and
[28:56] 
[28:56] the  feet  of  work  in  the  cloud  capitalism
[28:57] 
[28:57] if  you  are  not  changing  the  general
[28:59] 
[28:59] schema  of  selling  renting  like  monetary
[29:02] 
[29:02] exchange  I  think  that  I'm  kind  of
[29:04] 
[29:04] capitalism  is  quite  interesting  and
[29:06] 
[29:06] quite  quite  precise  for  that  and  it's  a
[29:09] 
[29:09] subset  of  that  of  the  companies  that  we
[29:11] 
[29:11] see  where  people  are  renting  selling  or
[29:14] 
[29:14] using  their  time  and  selling  their  time
[29:15] 
[29:15] for  for  for  some  money  and  then  so  these
[29:18] 
[29:18] companies  are  competing  inside  the
[29:20] 
[29:20] capitalist  system  with  the  tradition
[29:22] 
[29:22] version  that  one  that  one  thing  and  then
[29:25] 
[29:25] inside  this  quality  economy  big  broad
[29:27] 
[29:27] term  you  also  see  companies  who  are
[29:29] 
[29:29] trying  to  have  exchanges  sharing  the
[29:32] 
[29:32] cost  or  giving  something  for  free  or
[29:35] 
[29:35] using  alternative  currencies  so  or
[29:38] 
[29:38] creating  Commons  so  who  are  trying  to
[29:41] 
[29:41] compete  with  the  system  no  not  not  not
[29:44] 
[29:44] inside  the  system  and  that's  why
[29:46] 
[29:46] confusing  and  some  people  complain  that
[29:48] 
[29:48] this  isn't  it  is  not  precise  now  this  is
[29:51] 
[29:51] the  way  I'm  trying  to  explain  it
[29:52] 
[29:52] rationally  and  I  think  it  helped  the
[29:55] 
[29:55] obvious  stuff  but  everything  changed
[29:57] 
[29:57] very  fast  because  because  I  think  that
[29:59] 
[29:59] that  that  then  next  is  the  platforms  of
[30:02] 
[30:02] the  collaborative  economy  integrating
[30:04] 
[30:04] the  traditional  model  right  right  yeah
[30:06] 
[30:06] yeah  exactly  how  are  you  facing  yourself
[30:08] 
[30:08] yeah  yeah  and  I  think  one  of  the  keys  is
[30:11] 
[30:11] whatever  said  the  term  sharing  economy
[30:13] 
[30:13] it's  not  very  precise  and  I  think  it's
[30:16] 
[30:16] more  like  a  label  and  it  can  be  used  on
[30:19] 
[30:19] many  levels  so  there  are  the  most  pure
[30:22] 
[30:22] sharing  economy  level  I  don't  think  a
[30:24] 
[30:24] platform  like  diving  could  be  applied  to
[30:26] 
[30:26] a  pure  sharing  economy  because  we  are  a
[30:29] 
[30:29] company  and  as  a  platform  we  want  to
[30:31] 
[30:31] make  our  technology  better  and  better
[30:33] 
[30:33] and  make  money  as  well  so  at  the  end  we
[30:36] 
[30:36] have  this  attack  but  it  could  be  a
[30:38] 
[30:38] different  one  because  our  main  focus  as
[30:42] 
[30:42] a  platform  is  to  explode  this
[30:44] 
[30:44] opportunity  that  is  the  new  technology
[30:48] 
[30:48] and  the  revolution  that  we  are  in  which
[30:50] 
[30:50] is  not  only  the  mobility  revolution  how
[30:53] 
[30:53] cars  will  be  in  the  next  five  years  we
[30:55] 
[30:55] don't  know  but  we  know  that  cars  are
[30:57] 
[30:57] changing  a  lot  how  people  share  their
[30:59] 
[30:59] assets  and  specially  cars  will  change  a
[31:02] 
[31:02] lot  and  at  the  same  time  the  on-demand
[31:05] 
[31:05] economy  is  something  very  new  we  could
[31:08] 
[31:08] also  be  considered  on  the  man  as  well  so
[31:11] 
[31:11] it's  tags  that  you  apply  and  retain
[31:14] 
[31:14] platforms  are  more  pure  on  a  specific
[31:17] 
[31:17] tag  and  others  less  and  especially  there
[31:21] 
[31:21] are  some  companies  or  platforms  trying
[31:24] 
[31:24] to  benefit  from  these  tags  in  a  way  that
[31:27] 
[31:27] it's  maybe  not  the  purest  term  but  I  I
[31:31] 
[31:31] think  that  as  a  blah
[31:33] 
[31:33] form  our  main  focus  is  to  have  a  product
[31:37] 
[31:37] or  have  a  service  that  is  the  best  for
[31:40] 
[31:40] the  user  that  creates  value  in  a  way
[31:42] 
[31:42] that  it's  super  easy  and  this  technology
[31:45] 
[31:45] that  we  are  developing  that  we  are
[31:48] 
[31:48] creating  and  for  example  on  dr  e  now
[31:51] 
[31:51] apart  from  our  absence  oh  you  can
[31:54] 
[31:54] install  a  device  in  your  car  so  you  can
[31:58] 
[31:58] as  a  sum  owner  enable  rentals  without
[32:03] 
[32:03] physically  meet  and  by  activating  the
[32:07] 
[32:07] car  and  then  the  person  renting  opens
[32:09] 
[32:09] the  car  with  a  smartphone  so  this  we
[32:11] 
[32:11] call  it  drive  you  open  all  this
[32:13] 
[32:13] technology  facilitates  the  way  of  doing
[32:17] 
[32:17] this  kind  of  new  interactions  and  this
[32:20] 
[32:20] is  creating  a  new  new  service  that  that
[32:26] 
[32:26] we  are  trying  to  offer  that  is  more  on
[32:28] 
[32:28] the  on  demand  side  you  want  a  car  you
[32:31] 
[32:31] click  tap  on  on  the  smartphone  and  you
[32:34] 
[32:34] have  one  so  we  are  all  on  many  ways  of
[32:39] 
[32:39] the  spectrum  but  some  companies  are  more
[32:41] 
[32:41] on  one  side  so  on  the  other  side  and
[32:43] 
[32:43] unshrink  economies  just  attack  there  is
[32:46] 
[32:46] there's  an  interesting  work  from  another
[32:48] 
[32:48] American  professor  called  Boyd  coil  what
[32:50] 
[32:50] probably  lives  in  Barcelona  he  created  a
[32:52] 
[32:52] comp  ask  in  a  circle  with  six  axis  a
[32:55] 
[32:55] little  bit  what  am  I  was  saying  so  d  and
[32:58] 
[32:58] what  you  do  is  you  characterize  the
[33:00] 
[33:00] company  that  is  you  apply  that  the  label
[33:03] 
[33:03] sharing  economy  but  then  you  analyze  our
[33:05] 
[33:05] their  market  oriented  so  they  are  have
[33:07] 
[33:07] monetary  exchange  they  are  sharing
[33:09] 
[33:09] sharing  costs  or  they  are  doing
[33:11] 
[33:11] something  for  free  or  alternative
[33:12] 
[33:12] currencies  and  tentative  value  exchange
[33:14] 
[33:14] are  they're  using  private  technology
[33:16] 
[33:16] something  into  him  or  something
[33:18] 
[33:18] something  in  between  or  open
[33:20] 
[33:20] technologies  do  they  have  a  traditional
[33:22] 
[33:22] approach  for  companies  centrally  stick
[33:25] 
[33:25] with  shareholders  or  they  are  closer  to
[33:27] 
[33:27] a  cooperative  model  and  a  half  six  axis
[33:30] 
[33:30] and  you  actually  what  you  do  is
[33:31] 
[33:31] characterized  the  the  company  and  we
[33:33] 
[33:33] will  see  the  coexistence  of  different
[33:35] 
[33:35] types  of  companies  and  approach  in  the
[33:37] 
[33:37] sector  so  for  example  in  tourism  Airbnb
[33:41] 
[33:41] stem  always  known
[33:42] 
[33:42] well  known  one  which  we  the  more
[33:44] 
[33:44] traditional  in  terms  of  company  and  in
[33:46] 
[33:46] terms  of  monetary  exchange  is  very
[33:47] 
[33:47] traditional  although  they  organized  they
[33:49] 
[33:49] offer  end  of  the  man  in  a  different  way
[33:50] 
[33:50] they  optimize  that  but  then  you  have
[33:53] 
[33:53] home  exchange  where  the  value  is  not
[33:55] 
[33:55] change  in  a  different  way  or  you  have
[33:58] 
[33:58] cultural  thing  that  calls  for  free  and
[33:59] 
[33:59] it's  a  social  exchange  so  we  will  see
[34:02] 
[34:02] that  also  in  mobility  and  other  sectors
[34:04] 
[34:04] diff  different  different  types  and
[34:06] 
[34:06] people  will  choose  and  we'll  have  an
[34:07] 
[34:07] ecosystem  of  different  options  that's  it
[34:10] 
[34:10] and  two  to  run  yourself  we  could  be
[34:12] 
[34:12] talking  for  hours  but  its  way  we  gotta
[34:15] 
[34:15] wrap  it  up  somehow  and  that's  the  last
[34:17] 
[34:17] question  2016  has  been  quite  a  year  with
[34:22] 
[34:22] a  lot  of  conflicts  but  you  know  the  year
[34:24] 
[34:24] is  ending  soon  and  we're  going  into  a
[34:26] 
[34:26] new  year  yeah  you're  involved  with
[34:29] 
[34:29] Barcelona  Activa  and  and  you  know
[34:31] 
[34:31] government  and  everything  what  do  you
[34:34] 
[34:34] think  of  the  next  year  it's  gonna  be
[34:35] 
[34:35] another  year  with  conflicts  what  do  you
[34:37] 
[34:37] think  no  i  don't  think  so  i  think  that
[34:39] 
[34:39] we  are  going  on  if  it  will  be  the  year
[34:43] 
[34:43] of  the  a  of  the  agreements  of  the
[34:45] 
[34:45] agreements  of  the  rebooting  limits  on
[34:48] 
[34:48] the  manage  manage  in  terms  of  Tiryns  is
[34:52] 
[34:52] basic  know  that  it's  very  important  to
[34:54] 
[34:54] manage  not  only  to  to  complain  you  know
[34:57] 
[34:57] not  only  to  to  be  what  is  grown  but  also
[35:01] 
[35:01] to  to  develop  a  good  a  strategic  plan
[35:04] 
[35:04] for  a  half  alone  or  long-term  not  for
[35:08] 
[35:08] the  next  year  alone  half  over  long-term
[35:11] 
[35:11] yeah  and  in  that  case  i  think  that  they
[35:15] 
[35:15] are  very  they  are  ready  to  do  it  after
[35:18] 
[35:18] this  year  that  is  still  being  hard  yeah
[35:21] 
[35:21] i'll  tell  you  optimistic  as  well  for  the
[35:24] 
[35:24] next  year  I'm  an  optimistic  person  in
[35:26] 
[35:26] general  yeah  i  think  i  think  i  have
[35:28] 
[35:28] things  will  evolve  and  and  i  think  also
[35:31] 
[35:31] what  type  of  not  only  locally  but
[35:33] 
[35:33] globally  so  we  are  we  are  getting  a
[35:35] 
[35:35] global  knowledge  on  it  on  this  topic
[35:37] 
[35:37] that  we  can  and  we  can  tap  into  and  i
[35:42] 
[35:42] think  more  of  this  knowledge  is  being
[35:43] 
[35:43] shared  among  cities  and  they  are
[35:45] 
[35:45] coordinating  better  and  better  and  i
[35:47] 
[35:47] think  it  will  be  at  the  year  also  of  the
[35:49] 
[35:49] of  the  cities  and  the  sharing  economy
[35:50] 
[35:50] and  we  shall  fest  in  in  Paris  is  going
[35:53] 
[35:53] to  be  devoted  to  the  cities  because  it
[35:55] 
[35:55] is
[35:56] 
[35:56] space  9  I  think  we'll  see  more  of  this
[35:58] 
[35:58] regulation  coming  to  coming  to  the
[36:00] 
[36:00] cities  and  Richard  Richard  debate  and
[36:02] 
[36:02] sharing  and  sharing  best  practices
[36:05]

welcome to the ethnic podcasts my name is Sandra whole plant today we have a topic that's very tense in the media these days will there ever be a happy ending for the collaborative economy in in Spain and with me to discuss this topic we have three smart people as always and this week in this month we have first of all Albert connect rural innovation strategists founder of consumer collaborative oh we sure Barcelona connector and so on is that a good presentation that's a good presentation yeah okay second of all we have Lucy Hernandez expert on a collaborative economy you're currently working with local government you're working with Barcelona Activa also consumer collaborative oh and your your focus is on the tourism part right yes right yes and last but not least we also have Jamison y'all you're the country manager for dr e in spain and for those of you that don't know dr e is Europe's largest peer-to-peer car rental companies all right yeah platform a market place a marker place right so thank you all for being here I really appreciate you coming thank you every week there's something new from the battle between authorities and the sharing economy our collaborative economy like Airbnb uber blah blah car once once a week the government wins the battle the other week you know it's the platforms that that wins he the last one was this week actually when the Superior Court of Catalunya has an old define of thirty thousand euros imposed by the government two years ago by offering tours departments illegally and also possibly making mayor other Klaus very newly fine of six hundred thousand euros last month not not binding making a precedence Albert you've been writing and talking about these things for years now this these fines that we're seeing in the paper and which is very relevant these days it's just populism or politics or or this is a good way of dealing with these issues what do you think no usually and it's not only my opinion but also European Union opinion that find and for binding things lead and boom it's not it's not the best way to operate dialogue is always that the best approach and in the specific case of tourism and we'll see I can explain it more in more detail there there are a lot of cities that have dealt with that more with dialogue and separating different type of activities that in Barcelona which we still have like bundle and the same umbrella of Elohim enters critical where there are different activities inside there that need to be separated and yeah but the thing is we are in a new territory so it also i would say normal that we have this kind of moment and behavior so people are trying to understand what's going on both and anything or just important to separate the behavior of the platform themselves or the marketplaces and end-users and we see there there will be responsibilities and rights and duties for all this part and we are still making them up so it's normal that we are a little bit lost and and jam yeah you your present to drive you here today and we're not reading about driving every day in the news neither in Spain nor in France at least not in a negative way seems like you find a way to to dealing with let the government or authorities in a good way can you tell how are you how are you doing this well it's a bit different regulations for each of the areas or the soup areas and in our case what we do basically we have a platform where we connect people who have cars and they don't use it or they don't use it very often and people who need a car for a weekend or or or holidays so this the users who are renting their cars to other users this is considered renting without a driver so in Spain for example this activity doesn't require a license and I think most of the problems that are surfacing right now with platforms or so are related with licenses or tourism licenses for certain things or taxi licences for other platforms so at the end in our sub area maybe that's the reason why we are not on on the on the run on the regulation part but it's because of this population however I think that all these platforms shares certain things in common and the fact that the users are becoming not only consumers but also producers so the prosumer rolled at Alberton and Lucy I can explain much better and this is all so new and this creates tension so all the old companies or the traditional models so at the end and being very aware of all these changes and trying to adapt the regulation in a first way is key otherwise we will see these kind of fines and problems and tensions hmmm and Lucia you're the expert here because we're talking about for example Airbnb which is very connected with tourism what are your thoughts of the latest you know articles in newspapers well I think that a we omit the brown with your vm being Barcelona is about political issue I think that the best way to address this this problem is to how Albert set is to talk about it and to make agreements on what is the the best the best way to to deal with this with these technologies no I BMB I think that is it has a scare in a big way and it's normal that traditional sector is worried about how they they they understand that this thing no but I think that they they need to understand that a vm b is a representative business mobile it's a platform model and is that users wants and they have to to integrate or 2010 first and integrate is this type of models into debt ratio models and it was thrown anything that they have to dialogue and try to define an agreement know as add other cities in europe headstone so think maybe you can elaborate a little bit more on the other cities with nothing there are some examples which are generally go Dustin maybe not perfect but at least our reference know if it's sure a reference in I'm sorry me is the most proactive on this way by the way they do the first Home Sharing regulation in Europe and now has sinus had just signed an agreement with a BM be putting limits for example in how many days the host could run their rooms or apartments there are 60 days per year but is the same that London has done and your limbs right is 90 days per year and I don't know in New Orleans there are into the agreement in the agreement a little part that talk about to eliminate all the listings in the center in the in the in the center in the downtown of the city I think that every city has to deal with that about having and work on his car David characteristics but it because it's very different from one city to another yeah but are we doing enough in Barcelona do you think is this what was what kind of say this is the cities that are references all over the all over Europe are Barcelona creating you know connections with these cities are they trying to solve this problem last year and on their individual face Barcelona that is an event that we share organized here and we put in contact with the person in Amsterdam that that major the relation the revelation that they are in contact but you know that in in Spain in general all the tourism issues are delegated to the one of the rent in issue is delegated to the city halls and generally taught or other statements like this has another role in this in the situation that is it's like it's like in difficult to arrive between them into a a solution right right it's true that you say you you said it earlier as well both you're talking about how you know big companies are scaling and then dedicating I want to grow fast do you feel that you know governments can they ever can ever you know support the kind of growth that you are wishing for yourself mmm wow it's a difficult question because at the end first on a European level there is that there are some guidelines that they presented in engine that support the sharing economy and also basically they try to present a guide for countries to regulate the sharing economy but then what happens is that there are many levels on on regulations so there is the European Commission and there is each country's regulation some local regulations as well and even city regulations so at the end these effects too many levels and some companies are affected by a lot of levels some more countries that are faster than others to define this blu-ray limits between citizens and professionals and when an addean it's all about defining these limits and very clearly establishing some rules that make the traditional companies and the new economy or the new collaborative economy compatible in a way that it's fair for everybody yeah exactly and about your traveling all over the world and Europe in general and you're seeing all these different cities and how they are adapting to this kind of new economy how is pain compared with the rest of Europe as you think a lot we are a kind of a hot spot in both positive and problematic way I mean there are some studies from European Union also mentioning that we are one of the countries with more activity from the users or like I think it was six percent of the users according to this study have offered either as a room or a car or something on piona like bathroom like volleyball or participated on a crowdfunding so we're quite active and the number of platforms in Spain is pretty large and the adoption is is also quite massive I think you can ask around so from terms of platforms and activity we are quite well right i would say between France UK in Spain we are the top three countries probably at frans a little bit ahead yeah and we're probably the number one in in conflicts yeah I don't know I mean we should ask what's the current regulation scheme that Gemma was explaining especially at national and local level there are some things that are not about legal debate or economic debate its political debate as Lucy also hinted so I think its a mix and and the power of some of the lobbies that we have for example out of the sharing economy we have the energy lobby which is a very famous in postal soul which is very unique around the wall and this is because we have certain types of schemas here and maybe not the sectors that are heavily regulated right the same is happening but I think the level of adoption from the users also will will have some pressure on that under respect and I would say we are little bit slow on innovation on the regulation using technology to for example what am I was a no measure what is the level activity of these these companies of there and maybe the city has a cannon can set a cap a limit to some of this activity but maybe not by last by license but by capping the number of activity as a whole so there are other approaches for example one of the ones I like a larceny was in Sao Paulo in Brazil they actually created a kind of a schema where the peer-to-peer ride-sharing companies or the uber type of thing that basically you were there they need to buy kilometers so there is a sub also is a stock yeah let's say of kilometers and in order to operate and there is a limit they need they need to buy kilometres there's a bit an interesting way so and and the thing is not so much how to regulate that I think we have examples on how to regulate but how to monitor how to enforce how to use technology in a smart way to actually keep control that the regulation is applied and I think we have we have some opportunity there and neither in Spain i would say nor in almost anywhere else have been used that opportunity yet well you're on transportation german what what do you think of this this kind of solutions well i think it's necessary to define the limits and the well basically to define the differences between the professional services and also this sharing economy or basically sharing costs models and at the end this depends on each of these areas some countries are approaching this as a whole like they defined that there is a an amount for any train economy related activity for a user but some other countries are trying to be specific on its superior I think it's better to approach on the latest so to be specific on its sub area but this requires quite a lot of technical legislative work to understand models to understand the costs and different systems to analyze this and as an example this kind of solutions I think it's quite smart to find this solution like a pool of kilometers or a pool of days per year and I heard that some countries like Belgium for example they have defined our same activity in a very specific way and you can earn maximum of an X amount per year you can rent a car maximum 60 days per year in a way of sharing costs then if you surpass this limit you are a professional doing this activity so understanding these barriers or this lines more than mark these lines is important because then the the traditional companies can feel more comfortable otherwise they feel that you are playing with different roles and they have very strict rules international company so that's why they put pressure and they love it to change the regulations or do for bit on this ends I think at the end we all want the same which is we want a clear understanding of what's fair for the platform for the users and also a traditional company yeah but Disney's we defined by the administration and it's not easy hmm i think the other approach that also it's an innovation its try a trial and error or knows where the startup world he exactly so startups always make a lot of mistakes but learn on the way so regulators try to make it perfect from looking at it during three years and it's not going to happen no you need to try maybe set a threshold of something and maybe move this threshold up or down depending on what's going on and what you measure now in France for example they personally approved a law where specifically if you are renting your car and it's above 7600 or something like that eros then you need to become a freelance it's super specific the same with an and in the same regulation in hamster they start with I think 90 days and now it's becoming 60 days and they are have an agreement a technical agreement with Airbnb to share some data and twin forties regulation and they will block the so the first very and actually this agreement that they sign has a duration of two years they agreed to review the agreement in two years because this is going so fast that is impossible to forecast what's going to happen so it's a start do something in a kind of a lean approach also with regulation and we are and here we are more like a paralysis analysis yeah a bad thing I was about to say Lucy are you you're you're in the government working with them are you afraid to fail yes externally is like I don't know how to start it she said them that the person one of the person i mean i'm working with a generator catalonia i even know how to star but it start with something i don't know you have reference now you have found seven you have london you have new orleans in New York there is some room that is call it one host one home yeah right right exactly then at the end I think that is very very you can you can be very specific in every city then start with something and you can revise insist moans one month I don't know but it but you have to start because citizens are demanding are demanding rules and undemanding are demanding limits and are demanding agreements right and I thought about saying that the adoption of these platforms are a huge in Spain in general people are using this platform son and in spite of people using a lot I feel like there's the people that are seeing these platforms as a problem are screaming the loudest loudest sand the people that are seeing it as a solution you know they're they're a bit quiet because you know it's still you know in a gray zone do you feel like that you know the people that are seeing this is a problems there screaming in loudness and that's why the politicians are on their side or what do you think i think that the tension that the city hall or the generator de catalunya is half with a B&B Oh with with these platforms are translating to the to the people known in the industry and I think that this is a very big mistake because people effectively they they don't they don't know how to how to how to work with with that they they are I am they they don't want to fall in one hand to put their apartments into the platform but the more of the people most of the people need the money to arrive to the end of the month to survive now then it's a good way also to to have an income and and a lot of people that they need yeah and one of interesting things that is happening wrestling and I'm really excited for that for next year yeah is the kind of the user guild a user producers people who are offering their car or in their home or they are active in different platforms or they are drivers in some of these platforms there's thing to organize themselves as a collective we have a good example here in Barcelona with a subset of the Airbnb users and not only our B&B other persons to people who are renting either room in their house or their full house when they are not there so there's a subset of the activity function at home sharing activity and and they grouped themselves something called by indie mp3 on Taylor salona and they are loving for their own interest both in front of the government and in front of the platform okay so it's a third actor and I think we are going to see more and more of these kind of gills appearing the probably next year because people will will will have this need of defend around rights and it's not about confrontational but it's very often it's very positive so it's not like trying to forbid something it's just we leave the bottle and so on it's very creative but its necessary to do have this protection what do you think these platforms are they protecting their you know their evangelist and our sales agents like the people that are on these platforms how necessary is it for for everyone to you know join a kind of organization because I guess a lot of people that are listening and seeing this they have rented their car maybe they have you know rented their house or apartment or a room how necessary is it to you know become a member of some kind of guilt like this what do you think with you know I think that is necessary people wants to participate wants to participate in the production of value but wants to participate in taking decisions or with all the technicians in the relationship that has with platforms and with public administrations and in the in the sense that they want to to know to to be part of the decisions of the product or service that they want to consume or they they want to develop then people wants to participate and people is empowered now and very connected then is that whether that is going on and is very liquid nice developing in an organic way and very very important that because we are worried and now about the platform that we know now but innovation is going on and is going alone then I think that it's very important the power of the innovation on regulation that's important and jemmye you you have a lot of people you know using your platform how are you protecting you know your people not long ago two weeks ago we did the first meeting for users in Barcelona and it went quite well because we had 20 power owners the owners that love us and that they met the exchanges information how they are doing what works for them the prices that they said on how they do so this kind of meetings that we started to have them in France a few years ago they work quite well because people meet each other they can exchange all around the tips and tricks on how they use the platform and so and it's a way to to give this sense of community of these users who are using our platform and at the end this could happen also on the other side which is the the people who rent cars as well so we did it for the owners so car owners but could happen on the other side see I think that that platforms in the collaborative economy done don't don't one develop well if they have if they not have a community this is very very important for me is very important the sense of community because at the end if notice if the platform has not a community is a digital platform it's not a sharing economy platfor is not another type of or on-demand platform know in the in the collaborative economy that I think that the point of that to have a community who shared values and it's very very important but how do you feel platforms like Airbnb uber the biggest on blah blah car how are they doing this a B&B matin even one month on ago ago in Los Angeles ill open air BnB I was there and it was like immunity berry engagement with the company and it's like a mental sense of our sensitive sense of of I I belong to a community very cool now and that's it's like one it's very it's incredible a B&B has a community very engagement with them okay the bony session home so these companies as I mentioned that they had like a kind of like a difficult track record the last two years of dealing with the government but lets you know picture like a scenario where Airbnb and uber would enter Barcelona for the first time tomorrow oh but what about you think how should they do it differently this time 22 you know nuts you know clinch with the government what about is your advice no I think it's a complicated one but probably if you would the first thing is to have also on the site of the regional and local governments people who are expert and who can deal with that because also in public comm friends we've heard we were we were sitting in front of some of these companies we had not no idea what they were doing how to deal with them and that has been set by government officials in public public events and I think that but it was good to recognize this position but it's also important that the government gets ready for that on one side and on the site of the companies also really understand the local regulations and especially over had recognized that the way they started to operate in many many cities in the past was incorrect they also said that in public and now they are trying to be a little a little softer and to understand what the situation and to have dialogues and tables with the with the cities mmm and an onion and try to help and be proposed ative on on the waist to regulate know every bee they just really release something called regulation let's do the tool chest which is a 20 pages document with some ideas on how to regulate their BMP ok so we propose something and then so being being positive on finding solutions know for example for the future of work but it's also a big topic with people organizing all this income as their main source of income as an aggregated generated some mmm there are a proposal from etsy etsy is an american company kind of ebay for handmade stuff and vintage people are making some of them are artisans and making a lot of money through etsy so they are making some proposal how to reinvent social security and an income stability and it's a proposal from the public policy department of HC which is very interesting so these companies also need to help to innovate and make proposals not just try to and and try to find a middle ground yeah we're talking about different terms there and it's a bit something else but it's still very connected because we're talking about the sharing economy the collaborative economy the other day I heard have to let some cross-dressing you know if there are so many terms and people are using them you know differently and you're you're like the expert so I think I guess you have a very you know clear mind of what to use when but for people in general it's like a bunch of words alyssia should we leave sharing economy behind is this word that we should use or what what should we say no I don't think so because sharing economy is not only a term is a movement it's another way of doing things it's more sustainable and cheering economy put the tools the burn and and to do what they need in each moment then it's not all about a collaborative consumption platforms is about is about governance is of a participation is about a lot of things and I think that the sharing economy tear or collaborative column we prefer collaborative economy because it's the translation that we made in at the beginning from the sharing economy term and I think that this is a movement and as a movement I think that is good the term Robert if economy right what yeah what would the way I'm explaining recently also after listening I don't under I Jen with a professor at New York University and I recommend to follow his work because his he's quite interesting on the terminology for example he he wrote a book recently and the hitter forced him to you to have the sharing economy as title because it's the most popular term and people would not understand what you're talking about if you are trying to push for another term then in then in the subtitle it's understanding or the effects of work and the feet of work in the cloud capitalism if you are not changing the general schema of selling renting like monetary exchange I think that I'm kind of capitalism is quite interesting and quite quite precise for that and it's a subset of that of the companies that we see where people are renting selling or using their time and selling their time for for for some money and then so these companies are competing inside the capitalist system with the tradition version that one that one thing and then inside this quality economy big broad term you also see companies who are trying to have exchanges sharing the cost or giving something for free or using alternative currencies so or creating Commons so who are trying to compete with the system no not not not inside the system and that's why confusing and some people complain that this isn't it is not precise now this is the way I'm trying to explain it rationally and I think it helped the obvious stuff but everything changed very fast because because I think that that that then next is the platforms of the collaborative economy integrating the traditional model right right yeah yeah exactly how are you facing yourself yeah yeah and I think one of the keys is whatever said the term sharing economy it's not very precise and I think it's more like a label and it can be used on many levels so there are the most pure sharing economy level I don't think a platform like diving could be applied to a pure sharing economy because we are a company and as a platform we want to make our technology better and better and make money as well so at the end we have this attack but it could be a different one because our main focus as a platform is to explode this opportunity that is the new technology and the revolution that we are in which is not only the mobility revolution how cars will be in the next five years we don't know but we know that cars are changing a lot how people share their assets and specially cars will change a lot and at the same time the on-demand economy is something very new we could also be considered on the man as well so it's tags that you apply and retain platforms are more pure on a specific tag and others less and especially there are some companies or platforms trying to benefit from these tags in a way that it's maybe not the purest term but I I think that as a blah form our main focus is to have a product or have a service that is the best for the user that creates value in a way that it's super easy and this technology that we are developing that we are creating and for example on dr e now apart from our absence oh you can install a device in your car so you can as a sum owner enable rentals without physically meet and by activating the car and then the person renting opens the car with a smartphone so this we call it drive you open all this technology facilitates the way of doing this kind of new interactions and this is creating a new new service that that we are trying to offer that is more on the on demand side you want a car you click tap on on the smartphone and you have one so we are all on many ways of the spectrum but some companies are more on one side so on the other side and unshrink economies just attack there is there's an interesting work from another American professor called Boyd coil what probably lives in Barcelona he created a comp ask in a circle with six axis a little bit what am I was saying so d and what you do is you characterize the company that is you apply that the label sharing economy but then you analyze our their market oriented so they are have monetary exchange they are sharing sharing costs or they are doing something for free or alternative currencies and tentative value exchange are they're using private technology something into him or something something in between or open technologies do they have a traditional approach for companies centrally stick with shareholders or they are closer to a cooperative model and a half six axis and you actually what you do is characterized the the company and we will see the coexistence of different types of companies and approach in the sector so for example in tourism Airbnb stem always known well known one which we the more traditional in terms of company and in terms of monetary exchange is very traditional although they organized they offer end of the man in a different way they optimize that but then you have home exchange where the value is not change in a different way or you have cultural thing that calls for free and it's a social exchange so we will see that also in mobility and other sectors diff different different types and people will choose and we'll have an ecosystem of different options that's it and two to run yourself we could be talking for hours but its way we gotta wrap it up somehow and that's the last question 2016 has been quite a year with a lot of conflicts but you know the year is ending soon and we're going into a new year yeah you're involved with Barcelona Activa

the year of the a of the agreements of the agreements of the rebooting limits on the manage manage in terms of Tiryns is basic know that it's very important to manage not only to to complain you know not only to to be what is grown but also to to develop a good a strategic plan for a half alone or long-term not for the next year alone half over long-term yeah and in that case i think that they are very they are ready to do it after this year that is still being hard yeah i'll tell you optimistic as well for the next year I'm an optimistic person in general yeah i think i think i have things will evolve and and i think also what type of not only locally but globally so we are we are getting a global knowledge on it on this topic that we can and we can tap into and i think more of this knowledge is being shared among cities and they are coordinating better and better and i think it will be at the year also of the of the cities and the sharing economy and we shall fest in in Paris is
