Certain conditions apply. πŸ”‹USB-C for all – new portable electronic devices sold in the EU must use USB‑C charging. A shared charging standard makes life simpler for consumers. πŸ’Ά Stronger consumer rights – laws ensure the same rights for consumers across all member states, including a 14‑day withdrawal period for online purchases and the right to complain about faulty goods. Sweden πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ joined the EU in 1995 after a referendum, but has kept its own currency, the Swedish krona (SEK). Swedish is also one of the EU’s 24 official languages. The European Union began with the Schuman Declaration on 9 May 1950 – a plan to secure lasting peace in post‑war Europe. πŸ“œ #EuropeDay πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 687 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 26 ## Tags europeday --- Copyright (c) Gondola
