The Directive on common rules promoting the repair of goods was adopted on June 13, 2024, and became effective on July 30, 2024. Member States are required to incorporate it into their national laws and enforce it starting from July 31, 2026. The directive aims to foster sustainable consumption by encouraging the repair and reuse of goods, both within and outside of the legal guarantee period. This aligns with the European Commission’s priority of the green transition, particularly under the European Green Deal.
