Directive (EU) 2024/1799 of the European Parliament and the Council of 13 June 2024 on common rules promoting the repair of goods and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/2394 and Directives (EU) 2019/771 and (EU) 2020/1828

This Communication from the European Commission to the other European Institutions provides an initial roadmap of key policies and strategies required to achieve the European Union's "new growth strategy", centred on the concept of the European Green Deal. It aims at enhancing the union's climate targets and sets four core goals: 1) climate-neutrality by 2050, 2) protection of human life, animals and plants by cutting pollution, 3) helping companies become world leaders in clean products and technologies, and 4) help ensure a just and inclusive transition. These goals should be reached by developing a circular economy, decarbonising the energy sector, renovate buildings, support the industry to innovate, and green private and public transport systems.

<p>The Directive aims to promote the repair of goods to improve the internal market’s functioning, enhance consumer protection, and support sustainable consumption. Its main goal is to extend the life of products, prevent premature disposal, and make repair more accessible and attractive for consumers to contribute to sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It applies to goods with defects outside the seller’s liability under Directive (EU) 2019/771, and it is without prejudice to the rules of proportionality assessments set by Directive (EU) 2018/958. The measures set by the Directive support a more circular economy through repair and reuse, aligning it to the climate neutrality goals set in the European Green Deal. Member States must incorporate this directive into national law by July 31, 2026.</p>
