The Right to Repair: EU commission launches new proposal
27 March 2023
On March 22nd, the European commission adopted a new proposal with new measures to promote and facilitate repair and reuse.
The proposal was launched on March 22nd and contains some steps in the right direction. However, the universal Right to Repair is not yet achieved. Read more about the EU proposal and the reaction from the Right to Repair campaign.
We welcome this attempt at making repair more accessible, especially via the introduction of online registers for repairers and the harmonisation of cost estimations. However, the Commission missed an opportunity to concretely address the burning issues of the affordability of repair and of anti-repair practices. We need a truly universal right to repair including independent providers and granting universal access to affordable spare parts, repair manuals and diagnostic tools"
