The EU directive set out harmonised *minimum* rights for consumers across all member states including cross border sales. So you could now buy a TV from Italy if you lived in France without having issues of warranty problems. Your contract is with the seller and there is no requirement for a local service centre or to pay expensive shipping fees.
In the UK you have a provision for up to 6 years for a defective product but that is on top (but concurrent to) of your EU minimum 2 year right - this includes second hand goods bought from a trader.
There was no foistering of watered down rules.
