"In connection with the Digital Agenda for Europe, the Commission set a goal to reduce differences between roaming and national tariffs to near zero by 2015. In order to get closer to this goal, it is necessary to find a solution which guarantees competition and effective functioning of the roaming market also after the set date. The efforts put into the roll-out of broadband networks could also support the emergence of tools which can be an alternative to roaming services. The new regulation (Roaming III) continues to regulate roaming charges for calls and text messages and introduces a new essential element: a euro data tariff for retail data roaming services. The proposal also introduces a number of structural measures to boost competition while price caps are maintained as a ‘safety net’ for consumers to cover the period until competition itself drives the prices down. It must be emphasised that from 1 July 2014, customers will be allowed to sign up for a mobile roaming contract separate from the national mobile service contract. This will encourage competition on the roaming market and is a possible way forward for development. In conclusion, the report is extremely topical and clearly serves the interests of EU citizens, which is why I supported it with my vote."@en1
