Emma, any update about when the GPSR guidelines will be published? Thank you for posting this video.

This is going to destroy 1000s of businesses who sell second hand/vintage (antiques is the only exception i see) items where this information is impossible to obtain for example and old video game from the 80s or a used hifi part from a manufacturer no longer in business. Yet a private seller can still sell? its either safe or not. Businesses will close and all those millions of items will have to be put in landfill. Hardly environmental.

This depends - is the EU actually going to enforce it? Most simply ignore the GPSD.
