On: Europe drafts law to ban mobile roaming charges

> it came with an adapter to miniUSB in the box

Yeah but that's an adapter, even though it does abide by the rules you still have to carry the adapter around. Most manufacturers just switched to miniUSB entirely, so you don't need an adapter, any combination of charger and phone should work (in practice there may be issues with undervoltage, I've seen combinations of phones and chargers not work)

There's not even rules, the EU just asked them to sort it out, otherwise it would legislate so they had have a common standard.
