"The Internet is gradually becoming a part of everyone’s lives. The demand and, all too often, the need to be constantly online wherever you happen to find yourself is increasing all the time. In my opinion, the roaming charges in the EU’s single market constitute an unnecessary financial burden for consumers. The only ones who profit from this are the big companies providing these mobile services. Despite the fact that we have failed to get rid of roaming charges completely, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament has recorded significant successes in reducing roaming charges for calls, text messages and data. Data roaming in particular has caused serious problems for users. We constantly encounter cases where the unintentional activation of this service results in users owing large sums to mobile companies. I therefore consider it extremely important to address these problems through the fair regulation of prices for roaming services. By 2014, consumers should pay 65% less for roaming services, but I firmly believe that we will one day be able to remove these charges entirely."@en1
