lpv:translated text	"In principle I disagree with the legislator intervening in the market and setting prices. I believe that the market should define its own prices in accordance with the basic principles of healthy competition. That is precisely what is lacking in terms of roaming and what justifies the European Parliament’s intervention in setting maximum prices below which telecommunications operators are now obliged to compete. I voted for this regulation not being limited solely to calls made or received, but also covering SMS and data roaming. An EU that promotes freedom of movement of its citizens is not consistent with market rules that end or are limited when a border is crossed. At the moment, the overwhelming majority of people are still somewhat reluctant to use mobile telephones when they are abroad due to the fear of the roaming bill. I voted for this regulation precisely to ensure lower charges for roaming customers, while at the same strengthening the rules on transparency of pricing. This is a concrete example of how the EU affects our day-to-day lives. From now on, when returning from holiday or a business trip abroad, European citizens will remember that their lower mobile telephone bill is due to the EU."@en1
