EU Parliament approves legislation regulating the use of a single charger on all mobile devices . The policy requires all cell phones in Europe using the same port , the microUSB .
Member countries of the European Union have two years to implement this policy . While the manufacturers have one year longer to implement .
The EU decision is approved on a vote being pushed by German socialist MEP and Barbara Weiler . A total of 550 MPs agreed while the other eight abstained .
The use of this single charger will reduce the intervention between radio frequency devices and elements . This charger reduces the use of 51 thousand tons of electronic waste every year . Besides these new regulations are expected to save 300 million euros per year and reduce electronic waste and paper .
