Today, MEPs in the committees on internal market and consumer protection (IMCO) and legal affairs (JURI) jointly voted on the report on liability for defective products, aiming to update the current rules that date back to 1985.
With the development of new technologies, our economies are becoming more circular and new global supply chains are being created. Therefore, the new liability rules aim to ensure that consumers are truly protected from potential damages linked to new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence.
