lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I voted in favour of this proposal, which will support consumer rights through the improvement of product lifespan and by increasing the reparability of products through guarantees and increasing the accessibility of spare parts. Consumers must be protected from the growing trend of planned obsolescence, something that has become particularly prevalent in the software industry, and they should be assured of a reasonable product lifespan. By establishing minimum resistance criteria, this proposal will lead to longer-lasting products and will benefit both consumers and companies. In voting for this proposal, we are protecting the rights of the consumer and supporting the development of a functioning economy. Our message is: repair rather than replace, old is often better than new, and save rather than lose. Well done to you on your chairing of today’s session, and have a good time in the future."@en1
