Overview
Imagine your new watch has a defect just five months after you bought it. Would you like a new watch, or would you like it repaired?
The EU currently works on a directive on common rules promoting the repair of goods. This directive introduces a new way of balancing consumer and environmental protection but fails to recognise that applicable directives were based on a different balancing process. The presentation shows what these different approaches are and how they shape the need for a holistic view on the amendment of the applicable law.
