Seán Kelly (PPE). – A Uachtaráin, I voted in favour of the right to repair as it will result in savings for consumers, boost the circular economy and support the objectives of sustainable consumption and of the European Green Deal by reducing waste.
Many of us want to consume more responsibly, but we are not being enabled or empowered to do so. Directives like these are a step forward in changing the culture around how we regard our belongings. Replaceable becoming repairable; replaceable becoming repairable.
Along with the new European online repair platform that will be established as provided under this directive, consumers will be able to easily locate repairers in their Member States.
Is maith an rud é sin agus vótáil mé ina bhfabhar.
