The European Parliament just voted for legislation that would make it easier for Europeans to repair their own stuff. The resolution establishes the need for right-to-repair legislation in Europe and is a massive step forward for right-to-repair in general.

The European Parliament is a legislative branch of the European Union. It has 705 voting members, 395 of whom voted to pass the resolution. Only 94 voted against and 207 abstained. The resolution is lengthy, complicated, comprehensive, and it’ll take months—perhaps even years—before it’s fully implemented.
