Your phone breaks. Your washing machine gives up. Somehow, buying new seems cheaper than repairing.
The EU is making the Right to Repair the new standard in Europe.
Repairs must be offered even after your warranty ends
Parts must be available after the model is no longer sold
Choose repair under warranty and get an extra year of legal coverage
An EU platform will help you find local repair shops and fair pricesLess waste, more repairs. Good for your wallet, even better for the planet.
@EUCommission Where can we send our privacy to get it fixed?

@EUCommission Also this is kinda funny in the light of being forced to buy a new phone if I want to interface with my health insurance company, because some "security requirements" enforcing a minimum of Android 14.
Because as we all know, even if I could install an off-brand OS on my otherwise perfectly functional device, with proper security updates, it would still be banned by banks and other stuff because it's not Genuine American Corporate Lord Android.

@EUCommission that image makes absolutely no sense.

Ya, who repairs my damaged freedoms?
@fzer0 @raccoon @EUCommission cheap local repairs?
prolly not gonna cut it… -
@EUCommission parts should be sold at a price that makes repairing financially attractive. Bosch is bundling cheap parts with the most expensive part of their washing machines, making a repair nearly just as costly as replacing the whole machine. That's not viable for repair shops or anyone really.
@Drew @EUCommission the pixel 7a screen is expensive

@EUCommission The award for the worst infographic, no doubt created by a nonsense engine, that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever!
Goes to: The EU Commission and this broken phone-flow chart abomination!Hire an artist next time, they can do infinitely better than anything A.I can put out, and you get a thank you, and kudos points from 600+million citizens because you are supporting human intelligence over the nonsense engine

@EUCommission WHEN? I have this fridge-freezer I can no longer find insulation joints for (at least not at a price where it isn't cheaper to buy new).
Price needs to be factored in. Sod new models with built-in obsolence, improve the old olds. -

@EUCommission Well, washing machines are very much repairable with parts that cost just few € even today. The problem is, ever since everyone replaced stainless steel tubs with plastic ones, just replacing the drum bearings has become such crazy time consuming and labor intensive task because you need to lift entire drum, tub and motor assembly out of the chassis. It used to be so much easier before... But it's so much easier and cheaper to manufacture...

I think that law applies to all new appliances introduced from July 1st 2023. From what year is your phone?
@dtmonterrey @EUCommission
2019, coming update would be the last major software update I expect anyway. -
