"The Commission has, in the past, made repeated calls to mobile operators to reduce the unreasonably roaming high charges in mobile communications. The calls, however, remained unanswered, and the EU has decided to intervene through price regulation in order to protect consumers. The submitted reform has the aim of reducing prices for international calls from mobile networks to the level of domestic tariffs. Healthy competition has not yet developed, and customers continue to pay unreasonably high prices. The report on developments in the market for roaming services states that current charges (with the exception of specific tariffs) are not sufficiently flexible for users to avoid paying unreasonably high prices in relation to competitive domestic tariffs. In my opinion, the proposed reduction in the ceiling on charges is a step in the right direction, within the framework of a gradual elimination of all specific charges for roaming. Electronic communications are a service of general political interest. They must be universally accessible and available at reasonable prices. I therefore support all measures aimed at eliminating unreasonable prices for roaming calls."@en1
