=== Universal Charging System ===
In February 2009, OMTP expanded its Local Connectivity specification (based on [[micro-USB]]) to describe requirements for a common charger and common connector to enable sharing the same battery charger through different phones. The OMTP Common Charging and Local Data Connectivity<ref>[http://www.gsma.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/omtpcommonchargingandlocaldataconnectivityv1.1.pdf OMTP Common Charging and Local Data Connectivity]</ref> was adopted by [[GSM Association]] in the Universal Charging System (UCS) initiative. This has been further endorsed by the [[CTIA - The Wireless Association|CTIA]]<ref>[http://www.ctia.org/media/press/body.cfm/prid/1817 CTIA–The Wireless Association Announces One Universal Charger Solution to Celebrate Earth Day] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101214154849/http://ctia.org/media/press/body.cfm/PRID/1817 |date=2010-12-14 }}</ref> and the [[ITU]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2009/49.html|title=Press Release: Universal phone charger standard approved - One-size-fits-all solution will dramatically cut waste and GHG emissions|author=pressinfo|work=itu.int|accessdate=21 May 2015}}</ref> In June, 2009 the [[European Commission]] reached an agreement with several major mobile phone providers on requirements for a [[common External Power Supply]] (EPS) to be compatible with new data-enabled phones sold in the [[European Union]]. The EPS shares most of the key attributes of the UCS charger.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/rtte/chargers.htm? |title=Harmonisation of chargers for mobile telephones |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091023232430/http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/rtte/chargers.htm
