"After three years of reform that has not sufficiently reduced charges for consumers using roaming services, today we can celebrate the significant drop in roaming tariffs over the coming months, beginning this summer. The Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament has been particularly involved in this fight. The time has come to implement structural reform, rather than forever be regulating prices. Our ultimate objective must be to completely eliminate the differences in prices for roaming and national communications over the years to come. Despite the involvement of the S&D Group, majority support has not been forthcoming. However, this is how we must shape our reforms in future. It is no longer acceptable for operators to charge prohibitive prices for mobile data services, leading consumers to find horrendous bills awaiting them because there is no transparency with regard to pricing for these services. I welcome the proposal to allow customers to buy roaming services from a different operator to their domestic service provider. At last, we have some healthy competition which should serve the interests of the consumer!"@en1
