The future of the right to repair

The Warsaw Business Journal tells us that "Independent car service providers in the EU are under threat", reporting the Right to Repair Campaign who could be expected to make such claims.

The gist of the story is that the Commission has not yet decided to renew the "directive", as the report calls the Regulation. Not that this appears to be news: it sounds as if R2RC, or perhaps just their Polish operation, have decided to gee the Commission up a little. It was only the end of July when comments on the Evaluation Report were requested, so it might be a little premature to chase the Commission just yet. But we are entering a phase in the renewal process when we can expect the lobbying to become more and more frenetic.
