Universal mobile phone charger

Last week the European Parliament's Members were busy with an interesting project: a universal mobile phone charger for all makes. Imagine the wonderful world where you don't have to worry that your battery is running low and you may end up stranded somewhere, since you know that anyone around you could provide you with a fitting charger. In my experience, when you are looking for that charger in crucial moments the Murphy's law will contribute to people around you having invested in all sorts of mobile phones but the one compatible with yours. A universal mobile phone charger is perceived by MEPs as a tool to cut costs and waste for consumers. (Bring in a universal mobile phone charger for all makes, say MEPs)
