Sensible? It is a ridiculous intrusion way beyond the remit of the EU, which now wants to interfere in every corner of life.

At at time it should be taking subsidiarity seriously, and descoping its remit to a budget, and of limiting to only those activities essential to do at multiple country level it is interfering even more.

So you can have either cheap, or you can have repairable, that is a customer choice.
The manufacturing processes that make cheap also make things not economically repairable.

If products last forever, companies all go bust.
So the long term economics case is also dire...

The EU is world class at one thing only. Wasting money.
