My Nexus 6P (France, Dec. 2015) came with

1) USB-C fast charger

2) USB-C cable

3) USB-C to USB-A cable

No adapter whatsoever. I assume it's the exact same as anywhere in the world. Therefore it seems USB-C is considered an acceptable next standard for phone charging in the EU.

On a side-related note, I wonder why Apple was never subjected to charging standards in the EU.

It was voluntary. The EU said sort this out or we will make a standard and require it. I think iPhones did come with an adapter for the standard charger at some point.
