"Today’s part session in Brussels saw the vote on the report by Mr Bradbourn. The cost of using mobile phones, smartphones and tablets when travelling within the EU is set to fall drastically from 1 July this year, under the terms of an agreement with the Council adopted today. The new rules will also enable customers to buy roaming services from an operator that is not their domestic provider and open the market to new competitors, increasing competition and reducing prices. The proposal will enter into force on 1 July 2012, replacing the 2007 regulation, which expires on 30 June 2012, meaning that our citizens will be able to benefit from more favourable tariffs during their summer holidays. Parliament’s request for a lowering of roaming prices for consumers, and especially for data services, has therefore been a success. Moreover, from July 2014 onwards, consumers will be able to choose a different roaming services provider from their national operator for roaming services. These new rules will help open the market to new operators, thereby increasing competition."@en1
