"This legislation will establish a common approach in order to ensure that in their travels within the EU, users of public mobile communication networks do not pay excessively high charges for roaming services within the EU as compared with national charges. Unfortunately, roaming tariffs continue to be unreasonably high compared to national charges, and the relationship between costs and prices is still far from what would prevail under actual competition circumstances. High tariffs impede the use of mobile devices during journeys across borders within the EU. In order to ensure a functioning internal market and the protection of consumers, we must guarantee fair roaming charges to EU citizens travelling abroad for leisure or work-related purposes. I am of the opinion that we must entirely eliminate the distinction between national and roaming tariffs as soon as possible. This proposal represents a considerable step towards this goal, as it reduces the costs of phone calls and text messages from other Member States, and compels market participants to compete in respect of data roaming as well."@en1
