Ridiculous. Bureaucrats have to justify their existence. They sniffle freedom then they fake surprise by Brexit.
Fantastic, illiterate Brexit trolls are in my tech sites now. Hooray.
I'm happy for "bureaucrats" to "justify their existence" by helping to eliminate thousands of tons of e-waste and by squashing the stupidity of multiple charger standards. The EU already helped tremendously with the move to micro-USB and mandating that chargers have USB-A ports - the ghastly nightmare of proprietary charging standards was nearly consigned to history, with only Apple remaining as a hold-out.
The individual rambling about the "USB consortium" very much needs to learn the difference between a standard and the fraudulent companies who manufacture crap that doesn't adhere to it.
