New rules to massively strengthen EU's right to repair successfully pass through European Parliament with 584 votes for, just 3 against
The European Parliament has just adopted new rules making the right to repair much stronger across EU member states. The new rules not only give consumers a hand in requesting support for repairing items from manufacturers but also crack down on ways to block third-party repairs. All of which should see everything from laptops to vacuum cleaners to iPhones become much easier to fix, saving having to buy a new one.
