An EU-wide #RightToRepair has been adopted by the EU parliament with 584 votes in favour, 3 against and 14 abstentions. The directive now goes to the council and after it is officially published, member states have 24 months to implement it in national law.

And yes, smartphones are included. #ThanksEU

Finally a Law for Right to repair and hopefully therefore in the future more sustainable and better repairable Products. 😃

FairPhone and ShiftPhone as Producer of Smartphones are already having this repairability in their Products long ago before that was made by Politics into a Law.
