It's name is Directive 99/44/EG. Here is the link to the english HTML version http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:31999L0044 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:319... Unfortunately it is not that simple with with the two years. The directive states that a good needs to confirm with the contract at the time of sale. So the seller is only liable for a lack of conformity with the contract which was present at the time the goods were delivered. And that's the point were one needs to pay attention. For the first six month any fault of the product - if it is required by the contract explicitly or implicitly - the seller needs to prove that the fault didn't exist at the time of delivery. After the six month period the consumer needs to prove this fact. So there are 2 years theoretically but in practice it is not that easy.
