How the proposed new #Right2Repair rules will work for consumers in practice⤵️
🐦🔗: https://n.respublicae.eu/EU_Consumer/status/1638501308960309248
#Right2Repair proposal aims to:
✅encourage repair (instead of replacement) of more products within the legal guarantee
✅give consumers more options for repairing products beyond the legal guarantee
Saving waste, resources, CO2 and money!

When products break they are often thrown away, instead of being repaired or reused.
Resulting in millions of extra tons of waste & greenhouse gas emissions every year.
Tomorrow @EU_Commission will present a #Right2Repair proposal to boost sustainable consumption in the EU🇪🇺

We welcome general approach from @EUCouncil on our proposal to update EU rules on consumer financial services sold at a distance.
A positive step towards stronger #ConsumerProtection for those concluding financial contracts over the internet.

In my meeting with Dennis Price, Health-#Canada Director, we took stock of the fruitful 🇪🇺🇨🇦 cooperation on consumer protection under #CETA
We also discussed ways to address health-related risks in #productsafety legislation, including for connected or AI products.

The 🇪🇺 supports initiatives to raise standards of consumer protection in the green & digital transitions beyond its borders.
@OECD can play an important role in achieving these objectives globally, also via its ministerial forum.
Thank you @OECD delegation for the discussion.

Excellent meeting with @HoehnSaricCPSC.
Our informal dialogue with the CPSC 🇺🇸 is bearing fruit.
Connected products, #AI, e-commerce, etc. - Consumers face similar product safety risks, wherever they are.
Our regulatory exchanges contribute to find global solutions.
