However, the European Union has now agreed to establish USB-C as its common charging port for all mobile phones, tablets, cameras, and other devices by autumn of 2024. The agreement on the EU's amended Radio Equipment Directive will establish USB-C as its single charging solution for electronic devices. The law will require small and medium-sized electronic devices to support USB-C charging for consumers to use a single cable. Devices that will now be required to use USB-C include mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, earbuds, keyboards, mice, digital cameras, headphones/headsets, handheld videogame consoles, portable navigation devices, and portable speakers. Most importantly, other than having USB-C as standard, customers can now choose whether to have a charger included or not when purchasing a new electronic device to help cut down on electronic waste.
