Makes no sense since repair of used devices is more expensive than buying a new one.
In Germany there is no repair services and faulty devices go to trash immediately since Bs of new products get offered and delivered by Aliexpress daily at hot prices.

That equipment will probably be in use for 40 years. I worked in a
large plant built in 1965. In the year 2000 they found some equipment
that was built 1n 1920 and installed to do a special product.
Still funny that one can get almost any part for a Ford Model T from
1920 or so.

However, the definition of "part" given in the legislation is such that
it only includes bits that the manufacture makes available to authorized >repair providers.
People like Louis Rossmann will do chip-level repairs, but the

If the manufacturer does all repairs in house, then it appears to me
that it avoids the requirement to provide parts. This could result in
the disappearance of independent authorized repairers, to be replaced by >manufacturer owned repairers. This exclusion looks like a late addition. >Sponsored by Apple?

Sadly, there's not much interest in the trash Aliexpress sells. It may be cheap, but it is also nasty. Germany has a long tradition of craftsmanship, and craftsmen can fix what they made.
Some of them take pride in fixing stuff well enough that it works better than it did when it was new.
