"Recent years have seen a significant increase in the number of people who move frequently between the various Member States for the most varied reasons. One of the major annoyances that these people face is, without doubt, the astronomical cost of using mobile phones abroad. In recent years, the situation has been improving gradually and the text that we have adopted today quite rightly continues down this path. Indeed, the measures set out in the adopted regulation will result in a significant fall in the costs of phone calls, SMS messages and data when roaming. What is more, the market will have to open up to more operators, thereby allowing real competition and reducing the monopoly held by the few phone companies currently offering roaming services. European-level initiatives such as these are certainly worthwhile and welcome, bringing benefits for all citizens and consumers without causing any harm at all. These are the kinds of initiatives that the EU should concentrate on, showing that it can be of some use and on which it can therefore have our complete and convinced support, as in this case."@en1
