Repair instead of landfill: Latvians will have to spend on electronics starting July 31, a new EU directive extends the right to repair electrical equipment. In Latvia, these norms are included in the Consumer Rights Protection Law; The document is already under examination at Seimas. Manufacturers are now required to provide repair options, and sellers are required to inform customers. Latvians are guaranteed more rights, but the real point is a new wave of spending. Repair houses and parts are not free, and fines for not meeting new requirements threaten to raise prices in stores. As a result, Latvian families will face additional financial burdens caused by EU bureaucratic initiatives. These decisions will inevitably increase social inequality and hurt the wallets of ordinary citizens.
