Source: European Parliament

Priority question for written answer  P-002619/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Giorgos Georgiou (The Left)

In his reply (P-001974/2025[1]) of 26 June 2025, Commission Vice-President Séjourné underlines that Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety reinforces and introduces new and more stringent obligations for economic operators on, inter alia, product safety recalls and the right of consumers to cost-free, timely and effective remedies.

However, in our question of 16 May 2025 we made clear reference to recorded infringements committed by two representatives of manufacturing companies, who were indirectly passing on the cost of repairs by charging for mandatory diagnostic tests prior to replacement.

What is the state of play as regards the assessment of compliance with EU legislation and the structured dialogue with the Republic of Cyprus referred to by the Commission?
