It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

    For batteries that are incorporated in mobile phones and tablets it is appropriate to set performance and durability requirements regarding those batteries through a future eco-design regulation addressing phones and tablets

      It doesn’t target phones or tablets specifically, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t include in “portable devices and appliances”. The sentence you quoted simply suggests that there should be additional regulation on top of the currently pending in the future.
