Apparaten verplicht repareerbaar door nieuwe EU-wet
www.nporadio1.nl
Iedere wasmachine, telefoon of televisie die je vanaf morgen in Europa koopt, moet beter repareerbaar zijn. Dan treedt namelijk de Europese Right to Repair Act in werking. Wat dat in de praktijk betekent, bespreken we met Ruth Mugge, hoogleraar Ontwerpen voor duurzaam consumentengedrag aan de TU Delft, en Oscar Visser, CFO van Fairphone.

The products covered by the obligation to repair currently include:

  • washing machines and washer-dryers
  • dishwashers
  • refrigerators
  • electronic displays
  • welding equipment
  • servers and data storage products
  • mobile phones, cordless phones and tablets
  • tumble dryers
  • e-bikes and e-scooters batteries (from 18 February 2027)
  • local space heaters

    As if that proves the EU is evil.

    It sure as hell proves evil intent.
    We’re lucky there’s a majority against chat control but that still means there was a minority proposing it.
    And i don’t think the divide is that big

      It only proves evil intent of those specific politicians trying to push it through.

      It doesn’t prove any evil intent from anything else in the EU.

      The EU is a democracy. Which means that we sometimes also let evil people talk.
