“By allowing consumers to purchase a new device without a new charger, it
will also reduce the mountain of obsolete chargers, the bloc has argued.”

The EU is terrified of mountains. It still remembers the billions thrown at

third-world countries. Except the wine lake, which was turned into
industrial alcohol.
