"Madam President, Europe frequently sends out very positive messages. This was the case with the Schengen Agreement, which brought us freedom of movement, and with the introduction of the common currency, the euro. The particularly positive message today is that in future, the charges for sending texts and using data roaming will be much lower and more affordable and will have an upper limit.
Thanks to the excellent negotiating skills of Ms Niebler, from 1 July onwards, consumers will no longer be exploited. Communication using smartphones and tablets will become much cheaper and more customer-friendly. As is normally the case with diallers, consumers will, in future, be able to select the foreign provider that they want to use. Consumer protection measures will also be introduced.
I think it is particularly good that we can send out this positive message today on 9 May, which is Europe Day, and I am pleased that consumers will no longer be receiving annoyingly high phone bills after their summer holiday abroad this year.
I am also pleased for the residents of border regions who will, in future, be able to use their smartphones and tablets without the fear of receiving unexpectedly large bills when they cross the border briefly while going about their normal business."@en1
