"The report tackles a central issue in the area of consumer rights and the freedom of communication and circulation of information and news, and I therefore welcome it. Exorbitant charges for international roaming services with minimal transparency and information on costs is probably caused by the fact that the devices market has developed very quickly compared with the system of operators, and especially compared with the onset of a modern business culture. The creation of a euro tariff is therefore to be welcomed, not only as a way to protect consumer rights, but, above all, as a way to set a benchmark and provide an incentive for the market. Achieving the political objective of aligning roaming charges by 2015, as per the Digital Agenda for Europe, looks difficult without robust incentives and accompanying measures. In this sense, and in a liberal and market-oriented view, greater information and guaranteed freedom for consumers to choose between a number of operators will act as a driver, including by way of allowing mobile telephone operators to access wholesale roaming services, thereby injecting greater competition into the market."@en1
