Each member state of the EC guards its own vested interests and it's not just in what sort of plugs we use. We Brits know from experience [ inch, foot, mile, pound, Fahrenheit, bent bananas, sausages, etc.], that if we did have a Standard European Plug That Integrates Countries, [SEPTIC], it bloody well wouldn't be ours! Now that we have a 'Constitution' that dare not speak its name, ie with no British veto, guess who's plug gets it in the shorts when some bureaucrat decides we must unify?
