"Information technology has taken over our day-to-day lives. You only have to watch passers-by on a busy street in any European capital or see students going in and out of school. Both young and old never leave home without their mobile phones, iPads, smartphones, pens, tablets, etc. Data transfers are relentless and the market is constantly evolving. It is vital that EU citizens, whether at home or abroad, are able to access these services quickly and at competitive prices. The current cost of data transmission is becoming almost unaffordable, especially when moving between Member States. We live in a borderless Europe and are building an internal market. It is vital that this market also applies to new information technologies. We will all benefit: consumers and businesses. I welcome the creation of a roaming regulation that will limit operators’ tariffs outside their own Member State, enabling foreign operators to be contracted, with significant savings on roaming charges. I voted for this report by Angelika Niebler, as I believe that the recommendations tabled will promote mobility within the EU, will benefit consumers, and will make businesses more competitive."@en1
