(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, MARCH 22 - "Easier and cheaper" repairs even beyond the legal warranty period for smartphones, tablets, PCs and household appliances to reduce the environmental impact, support the Green Deal and fight planned obsolescence.
This is the flagship proposal launched by the EU Commission in its new bill on the right to reparation.
With the rules presented today, the EU executive aims to give citizens the opportunity to turn to repair services when the legal guarantee of the products - usually two years - has expired.
Common standards of transparency on the conditions and prices of repairs will then be introduced.
