"In the European Parliament’s plenary session, I supported the draft legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation on roaming on public mobile communications networks within the European Union. I consider that roaming services in EU Member States have hitherto been too expensive and yet, as people increasingly travel to other EU Member States, their use these days is exceptionally important. It is essential that everyone should be able to use these services without worrying about excessive costs. Until now, for example, there has been no cap at all on prices for data downloading via roaming, but the new rules provide that as from 1 July 2012, such a cap must be introduced, and that these price caps for roaming are progressively reduced to EUR 0.05 (exclusive of VAT) per megabyte for data and per minute for telephone calls and to EUR 0.02 (exclusive of VAT) for SMS messages by 2014. I further consider that the new rules will also be advantageous for operators, as competition will be encouraged, by virtue of the fact that customers will be able to acquire domestic and roaming services from different operators while keeping the same number and without extra charge."@en1
