Standardisation of electrical connection systems in the EU

Question for written answer E-009150/2011
to the Commission
Rule 117
Sebastian Valentin Bodu (PPE)

In view of the existing diversity of systems used to connect to electricity networks and the prejudice thus caused to European citizens travelling in a Member State not their own and wishing to connect to the local electricity network, and recalling that in the case of mobile phone chargers there has been standardisation at European level, does the Commission favour the standardisation of residential electrical connection systems (sockets and plugs)?
