As mentioned on multiple occasions, many of Kobo's ereaders with their easily removable back covers and batteries with either a connector or simple solder connections already meet the requirements of this regulation.
I have attached the English version of the EU regulation 2023/1542 to this message in the likely vain hope that this time someone will bother to read section 11.

Soldering is not simple enough for enough people. I don't consider that easily removable. I also don't think Kobo are easily removable. There are a lot of people who can't do it.
