lpv:translated text	"Mr President, excessive charges for our mobile telephones, according to recent statistics, have increased in the unrestrained competitive race between the companies. The biggest loser in this specific scenario is the citizen. Commissioner Reding and the Committee on Culture and Education were therefore right to decide to put an end, with a regulation, to excessive mobile telephone charges in the Member States, by calling for a reduction in charges in all European countries, with a standard charge for roaming calls. The citizens of Spain, in a show of protest about roaming charges, recently decided to stage a boycott by not using their telephones on a certain day. Their action was successful. It was the only method of protest to make the companies understand that they cannot keep behaving in this way towards consumers, when profits have been increasing exponentially over recent years. It was the first positive reaction and we, as the European Parliament, are obliged to support it and, at the same time, to welcome the decisiveness of the Spanish citizens. Their example must be followed by other citizens in the European Union."@en1
