Which makes me wonder how could they circumvent the EU directive requiring a single charger (namely MicroUSB)?

Apple is not MicroUSB. Apple has their own connector and their own USB wall warts. MicroUSB is the connector on the device being charged.
The thing is, because of Apple, some companies make their devices compatible with Apple's non-standard wall warts and some (like Sony) did not. You can make a USB cable that will work as a charge cable and will allow devices like a Sony Reader to charge from an Apple wall wart.
