Recital 41

(41) In order to promote repair within the liability of the seller, for the benefit of consumers and the protection of the environment, Directive (EU) 2019/771 should be further amended to introduce a new obligation to inform the consumer of the right to choose between repair and replacement as well as the extension of the liability period if that consumer chooses repair, thus raising awareness about both alternatives and the advantage of choosing repair. That information requirement would encourage sustainable consumption and contribute to a circular economy.
