Yes, the CEN (European Committee on Standardization) has the matter on its agenda since a long time. But it does not move fast, because of the costs at stake. And also, as you said, because all small appliances plugs are compatible.I'm not sure if there is any movement to harmonise all of the different sockets in the EU into one standard socket. It really isn't that important because as noted most small appliances use the two pin plug that fits into most, if not all without an adapter.
Anyway there are more important matters to harmonize within the "old Europe"...
