> Without that interference in the invisible hand of the market, your cellar would be full with other 40+ chargers. All in name of 1€ profit.

At most my cellar would contain one additional charger for the phone. Other devices didn't come with a charger at all (some aren't even covered by the directive or were made well before its announcement). I guess in the name of 3€ of cut cost which coincidentally also reduces the number of junk electronics in my basement.
