For me it’s the Batteries Regulations.
It includes things like:
-
Replaceable batteries that is “easy for consumers to remove/replace” in devices like smartphones, tablets and cameras by 2027.
-
Recycling “of critical raw materials such as cobalt, lithium and nickel” in batteries will be prioritised and developed further by 2025.
Let me hear yours. It can be anything, and also regulations from the past which came into effect in 2023.

USB-C as a general standard, limiting the manufacturers way of making more money and waste by using own connections etc.
It’s totally fair that they won’t put chargers into every box since you just need a couple ones in the future.
For me that’s one of the worst things. Thanks for hampering innovation.
The legislation is done in such way that it can be adapted in the future. It is not written in stone for eternity.
Oh yeah, look at all the innovations in connectors of the past. So much innovation! Wow!
Like usb 2 speeds on lightning for iPhones
Humanity doesn’t need that kind of “innovation” right now lol. We desperately need to produce less waste and become much much more sustainable.
Is 240W charging and 120Gbit/s data transfer not enough innovation for you?
Apples Lightning connector was only 5Gbit/s and usually 0.48Gbit/s
Not overregulating AI (yet).
AI should be regulated. Heavily.
AI should be open and available to anyone. No single company should have an advantage in that field. That is the only regulation that is realistic
Certain AI uses should be heavily regulated.
The cat is out of the box, if the EU heavily regulates AI this won’t stop anyone, it will just cause these systems to build outside of the EU where regulation is either less restrictive or it’s even encouraged .
Continuing to maintain peace in the EU.
The EU continued to provide aid to Ukraine despite Orban Games.
The Digital Markets Act: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Markets_Act
It’s not been done this year in particular but it’s always nice to be able to travel visa free (and without ID checks at the borders) through Europe. Made my trip to Croatia much nicer.
