Today, @EP_SingleMarket votes and exchanges on the resolution on the #right2repair.
But what do we ask from @EU_Commission to be included in their right to repair initiative? A #thread
But what do we ask from @EU_Commission to be included in their right to repair initiative? A #thread
Repairing broken & damaged products means saving money, energy and resources, which is more needed than ever for a resilient single market. Enabling consumers to quit the throwaway society drives the shift to a circular economy. The EU must deliver on the right to repair!
End-users and independent repairers need access to spare parts and manuals at a reasonable time and cost. Digitization demands software updates to be available for a minimum period of time, while making sure they never lead to a diminished performance!
Consumers must be able to choose longer lasting, repairable products. A #repairscore should give all info in a reliable, clear and easy to understand way, and repair over replacement of broken products must become the norm. Legal guarantees need to be adapted accordingly.
Finally, we need to incentivize businesses & manufacturers to be innovative to profit from the Green transition: Strengthening their responsibility in the liability regime, planned obsolescence as unfair commercial practice and a legislative proposal on green public procurement!
