Within Mr. McGreal's Department, would that capture the necessity for something as simplistic as the move to generic power cables to be used, for instance, on phones and other devices?

There are occasions, even today, when those cables are not cross-compatible. There are devices whose manufacturers have their own view of the quality of particular cables, especially USB-C cables. There are cables that are not accepted on certain devices but that are on others. Will the directive embolden the EU to force manufacturers to ensure their devices, whether they take USB-A cables or USB-C cables, operate appropriately?
