EU Parliament calls for longer lifetime for products
I totally support this. I accidentally cracked the touch screen of my car radio console. The car is nothing special, a Ford Mondeo that is a few years old.<p>Cost to replace touch screen module: more than the <i>entire</i> value of the car! That is insane. Effectively, if I want to claim from insurance - crack the touch screen (it is a replaceable module) and have to scrap the entire car.<p>In this case, I managed to get a replacement (fitted) from a scrapped car for 1&#x2F;10 of the price the Ford dealer was quoting me.
