Directive places requirements on gizmo vendors, but still needs formal approval

The European Parliament has adopted the right-to-repair directive with 584 votes in favor and three against, making repairing goods more accessible and cost-effective.

The objective is to make getting items mended in the EU easier. Goods fixed under warranty will get a one-year extension of the legal guarantee and"cannot impede the use of second-hand or 3D-printed spare parts by independent repairers, nor can they refuse to repair a product solely for economic reasons or because it was previously repaired by someone else."that it would"enhance" the existing repair process later this year to allow used Apple parts in repairs.
