🛑We at ANEC stand rejecting any deal with the USA that risks lowering vehicle #safety #standards in Europe. @anectweet
Together with prominent European organisations in #RoadSafety, we are raising significant concerns about potential risks to vehicle safety standards in Europe.
The protection of citizens from death or serious injury on the road must be non-negotiable.

BEUC notes very good progress from the European Commission towards more durable, repairable and sustainable products! Notably with the proposal for a new #Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation. Check our assessment across files 🔽
Today, it's exactly 2.5 years that Ms @vonderleyen took over the reins of the @EU_Commission. Half way through the mandate, how have consumer files scored so far? What are the top ones? The worst? What's yet to come?

Great week at BEUC: got to to meet many of our members in person and to reflect on all that we have achieved in the last 60 years. And all that is to come! ⬇️
Intense week as the European consumer movement meets in Brussels to celebrate @beuc's 60th birthday, and hold Executive Board and General Assembly meetings. It's a moment to reflect on what we've been up to. A lot, as our 2021 annual report shows: annualreport.beuc.eu/. #BEUC60

'No data, no claim', @moniquegoyens on the need to tackle #greenwashing. We need reliable information for consumers - too many 'carbon neutral' or 'ecofriendly' labels on products don't have the needed evidence base ! #ConsumerDebates
Happening now❗ Our event “Getting rid of greenwashing in the EU: how to restore consumer confidence in green claims” just started. Join the conversation using #ConsumerDebates ⬇️
'price is still by far the most common reason why consumers do not repair their products. In many cases, it is simply so expensive to repair that it seems more appropriate to buy new' 🔄🗑️ #RightToRepair
What makes us buy a new washing machine instead of having it fixed? It comes as no surprise the main culprit is price.
New survey by 🇳🇴 consumer group @Forbrukerradet shows durability greatly influences Norwegians' choices and calls on authorities to make repair cheaper.

Consumers need more durable and repairable products! 📱♻️
Check our new @beuc position paper for our calls on better product design, information, guarantee rights ⬇️
Consumers want to buy more durable and repairable products. It's better for the environment & their pockets. But to do this consumers need reliable info on durability & repairability ℹ️🪛.

Any thoughts on the sustainability of #Smartphones ? The European Commission just launched a consultation - anyone can give input, be it individuals or organisations 📱
Smartphones📱: from the materials they contain, their reparability to their recycling, there is much to do to make them sustainable. The @EU_Commission just launched a consultation on the topic. Help us & send your feedback by Aug. 23! ec.europa.eu/info/law/better…

Clear call from the chair of the European Parliament's @EP_SingleMarket on the Right to repair: beyond helping consumers' pockets it is needed for environmental protection #EarthDay

A #CircularEconomy needs products to be durable, repairable and reusable. Within the #PROMPTproject, @beuc and @anectweet are working to stop products failing too soon. Find out how: prompt-project.eu/ #EarthDay2021
PREMATURE OBSOLESCENCE 🔧 Many products fail too early: it's a strain on natural resources. To fix this, better design, reliable information on product durability and #Right2Repair are crucial. Our #PROMPTproject aims to make it happen ➡️ beuc.eu/publications/beuc-x-… #EarthDay2021

Great news for consumers indeed! 4 product categories will now have to be easier for European consumers to #repair. A key precedent as we demand that more products are designed sustainably, lasting longer and allowing for easier fixes when needed. While reducing #ewaste !
Good news never arrives on its own. On Monday, the new Energy Label appeared on 4 home appliances. It came with measures crucial for #CircularEconomy: the appliances will be easier to repair, and in some cases, safer. More: beuc.eu/publications/eu-make… #EUEcodesign #RightToRepair

Addressing premature obsolesce is needed, for consumers and the planet. It's a necessary step for a #circulareconomy. In that line, the #PROMPTproject will test obsolescence for key consumer products: beuc.eu/publications/beuc-x-…
No one likes when a product breaks too fast. On Monday, EU ministers approved the promising #NewConsumerAgenda, which supports - among others - long product lifespan and preventing premature obsolescence. We're working on it too, via #PROMPTproject. More: bit.ly/3lKlYG4
