What do you do when your phone breaks?
Our new ‘right to repair’ initiative will make it easier and cheaper for consumers to repair defective goods.
By promoting repairs both within and beyond the legal guarantee, it will:
🔹 reduce waste,
🔹 boost the repair sector and
🔹 make repairs easier and cheaper for consumers.
@EU_Commission We should also force manufacturers to provide updates for a longer period of time (at least security updates for proprietary components). Most phones today have their software updated for less than 3 years.

@baptiste0928 @EU_Commission This would have real consequences. It might be nicer overall, but there are definitely trade-offs.
