Empowering consumers for the green transition - Recommendations for the trilogue negotiations

In order to actively participate in the green transition, consumers need better information on durability and repairability of their products, as well as on the period during which the software updates will be supplied if their products have a digital element. Moreover, the EU rules protecting them against the unfair practices related to the premature obsolescence and greenwashing should be significantly strengthened and made more explicit in order to avoid any interpretation divergencies between courts and authorities and allow for more legal certainty on the market.
