Dear Madam/Sir: Brussels Consulting Kft. and its clients believe that the “Sustainable consumption of goods” initiative and the right of consumers to repair are important steps for increasing the circularity of electronics and electronic equipments. We would like to point out that a key concept to bear in mind is that of the “smallest unit of practical repair”.

Key messages EuroCommerce supports the establishment of a culture of repair and reuse in Europe Make the right to repair the most economically feasible, sustainable and attractive option to consumers, retailers, repair service providers and producers.

Retailers and wholesalers are central actors in the supply chain: they are in regular contact with Europe’s 500 million consumers and they operate sophisticated and efficient systems ensuring the reliable and safe sourcing and distribution of consumer goods. They work with suppliers to meet consumers’ demand and keep them safe . Consumer confidence is a key priority for retail and wholesale.

Brussels Consulting Kft. submits the following concerning the Commission’s draft: • Overall, we support Commission’s proposal and we believe that the proposed (new) requirements are appropriate. • We recognise similar high-level requirements in existing US law, and we suggest that the Commission took a look at them if hadn’t already (e.g. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act).
