Andy, I believe that this is still at the discussion stage. At the moment, each EU country has its own set of consumer protection laws. In most cases, the warranty, which is usually 12 months, is part of the product marketing, rather than an obligation. This usually gives the consumer rights additional to those provided by law.

Warranty for the EU Forum- I was just informed (without any further details given) that warranty periods for products shipped to Europe going to 24 months, mandated by law. Does someone know the specifics of this, or maybe point me in the right direction? I started digging on the europa.eu.int website, but have not found anything yet.
