"Question No 48 by Brian Crowley ()
What has been the exact progress to date vis-à-vis the EU Roaming Regulation, and has there been success for the voluntary reduction of roaming prices for text messages and mobile data services in the mobile industry?
Question No 49 by Marian Harkin ()
In light of the Commission's commitment to set regulatory caps on cross-border text and data roaming fees, what steps has the Commission taken to ensure that inadvertent roaming charges do not occur for people living in and travelling to border areas of a particular country?
Question No 46 by Georgios Papastamkos ()
Following the regulatory action taken by the Commission seeking to rationalise roaming charges, the Commissioner responsible for the information society announced plans to cut charges for mobile data roaming services from the summer of 2009, targeting principally the disparities between SMS messaging service charges.
What is the Commissioner’s response to the telecommunications sector which is levelling charges of populism and attempted market manipulation through ‘price fixing’ in place of measures to create a healthy competitive environment in the telecommunications sector? How will she respond to the open hostility of the telecommunications sector to the above plans? Does she consider that price fixing policies should have been adopted in other sectors of the EU internal market also?
Question No 47 by Giovanna Corda ()
The European Regulators’ Group (ERG), which comprises the 27 European regulators, has been calling on the Commission for a year to cap prices for SMSs sent or received in a different Member State other than the user’s state of origin. The Commission gave operators until July 2008 to lower the price of SMSs and the internet in the case of messages sent or received when roaming in the European Union. The operators have not responded, and are penalising consumers heavily.
Can the Commission state what measures it intends to take to force operators to lower the exorbitant prices charged to consumers for SMSs and the internet when roaming within the EU and whether it plans to extend beyond 2010 the cap on mobile communications prices introduced in 2007?"@en1
