   We have a deal on the common charger! 🇪🇺

   This means more savings for EU consumers and less waste for the planet:

   🔌 mobile phones, tablets, cameras… will all use USB type C
   🔌 harmonised fast-charging technology
   🔌 unbundling of sale of chargers

     @christiaan probably less than taxpayers will save in not having to buy 15 different chargers :-P @EU_Commission

     @EU_Commission By the way, I wonder how much money did the process and procedures cost the European citizen to bring this about? So how much taxpayer money has been put into it?

     Yes, it includes laptops.

     "Laptops will also have to be adapted to the requirements by 40 months after the entry into force."
