apply to ten categories of products that are currently covered by ecodesign requirements: smartphones and tablets, bicycles (including e-bikes), washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, fridges, displays, welding equipment, vacuum cleaners and servers.

thats dissapointing.

those categories are way to specific,
these laws should apply to way more stuff.

smartphones and tablets?
why not computers in general?

and john deere execs are pobably laughting their asses of right now.

I wish the US had anything even close to this level of consumer protections and rights.

I prefer having an ambitious law right now, even if it only cover a limited amount of products, than a law that try to cover everything but takes decades to be approved.
