Austrian government launches repair scheme for electronic goods

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Repair Bonus voucher scheme is aimed at trying to get people to move away from throwing away old electrical appliances - and focusing on getting things mended.

Erik's laptop is broken, so he has come to Helferline, a computer and mobile phone repair workshop in Vienna.

Mr Schmidgruber says customers have to download a voucher from a government website and then pay the repair shop upfront.

The Austrian government's repair voucher system, which is financed through the Covid Recovery Fund, is just for electrical appliances.

But the City of Vienna runs a separate scheme - which works in a similar way and helps people pay for repairs to old clothes, bicycles or furniture.

At his bicycle shop in Vienna, Marc Warnaar and his team are fixing a bike, which has rusted brake and gear cables.

I think france introduced a similar scheme too.

Seems to me like it's missing a big point, and that's that often you couldn't get a thing fixed if you wanted to, since parts just aren't available.
