What about the fact that mini-USB was mandated as a connector standard (1) in the European Union to standardize phone charger connections?

Except it wasn't. They standardized on micro-usb.

Edit: from your Wikipedia article - "A common EPS must include a cable with a micro USB-B connector for connecting to a mobile phone."

I apologize, that was a typo. I did mean to say micro USB.
