That chart is utterly misleading. There is no such thing as an EU-wide law. Most EU countries have much more extensive consumer protection.

The only real difference is that with AppleCare you can contact Apple directly instead of the seller. But as far as the rest is concerned, in most EU countries you have better warranty by law than what Apple tries to peddle as "service".

There is a European wide law with regard to warranty, see here. http://www.consumenteninformatiepunt.nl/page/en/themes/Kopen...
