@EU_Commission It's a start, but it got weakened way too much to be seen as "final answer" in regards to right to repair. The uphill battle against corporate interests just begun.

@EU_Commission https://europa.eu/!KKwHFh

@EU_Commission Great news, but I think the link is broken.

@EU_Commission Tesla private repair shops / no parts available.

@EU_Commission

@EU_Commission if the hardware and software was open too, that would be the ideal. 😃

@EU_Commission I would love to. However:
* intelectual property laws prevent repair efforts
* repair labor costs are by far exeed, prices of imported goods from sweatshops

If only there were a competent non-corrupt government regulating these issues with good intentions (i.e. trying to understand the issues and arguments involved, instaed of mostly following neoliberal ideology and industry lobbyist suggestions ...)

@EU_Commission maybe it would be better to talk about the duty of repair?

@EU_Commission Who repairs packaging?

@EU_Commission This is a step in the right direction. But we can do way better than that. What about availability of spare parts and their fair pricing? The #EU could make a list of spare parts that producers would have to sell for their devices and impose a limit on their price, so that they don't cost more than a new device.

@EU_Commission More common sense from the EU

@EU_Commission while you're at it, require that companies that don't follow this law planet wide shall have to pay a tax or a fee, per device, per month until the device is shown recovered by them.

@EU_Commission
What do people think about this
