We'll ignore the fact that we're six months past the date that year-old
article says we can "expect" these regs to be published, according to

Ooh! That's... the very "study" linked to by the Telegraph article,

There are no EU proposals to restrict the maximum power of hairdryers,
smartphones or kettles (although Apple may be forced to allow users to
replace their batteries).

Take your facts and reality somewhere they're wanted...
