The European institutions have reached a political agreement for the introduction of a universal charger for all mobile phones, tablets and digital cameras. This was announced by the Internal Market Committee of the European Parliament. The directive envisages using a common USB-C charging point for all mobile devices and making charging software protocols interoperable between brands. In order to reduce electronic waste, also stop the sale of new chargers for each device: consumers will have the possibility to use their old cables.
