"We welcome this report because for years, we have thought that there is still a lack of competition in the mobile roaming market, to the direct detriment of our citizens and consumers. Despite the measure we brought in during 2007, roaming tariffs are still too high, causing a modest use of these services in the EU that stands in stark contrast to the fundamental principles of an ambitious internal European digital market. In its 2010 Digital Agenda for Europe, the Commission set the objective of bringing roaming tariffs largely into line with those for domestic mobile services by 2015. In order to increase competition, the Commission proposal for a regulation voted on today not only provides for the existing price caps, but also brings in the structural measures we think are needed, which can help protect consumers properly. We do, however, take the view that further transparency measures are still needed, such as readily understandable information on the new options and tariffs now available to customers as a result of the decoupling measure, as well as price caps on retail data roaming that are more ambitious than those put forward by the Commission here."@en1
