- Abstract
The article "Repair-Power to the People? A Legal Perspective on the Right to Repair" discusses the topic of the "right to repair" in the EU. On March 22, 2023, a legislative proposal is expected that will grant consumers the right to repair their devices and promote sustainable consumption. Various legal regulations and possible measures are discussed to dismantle obstacles such as high costs for spare parts or impossible repairs due to product designs. The European Commission also plans to make changes to existing directives to promote circular product use and protect consumers from "greenwashing." It is emphasized that linking sustainability standards and consumer rights, as well as liberalizing competition in the secondary market, are necessary to promote a culture of repair.
