Interview Cuffe on Right to Repair rules

The European Parliament this week voted for a range of demands for an upcoming European Commission proposal on the right to repair planned for later this year. MEPs say consumers should be able to buy longer-lasting products that can be easily fixed rather than replacing them with new ones.

They also want consumers to be able to get software updates for goods like smartphones to avoid having to replace them regularly. They’re calling for practices which unduly constrain the right to repair or lead to obsolescence to be considered as “unfair commercial practices” and banned under EU law.

Well Green MEP Ciarán Cuffe spoke to Karen Coleman in the European Parliament in Strasbourg about the proposed Right to Repair proposals.
