lpv:translated text	"The cost of using mobile phones abroad (roaming) has long been much higher than the cost of domestic calls. The new EU regulation, which we voted in favour of this morning, puts an end to such unfair pricing practices. This is a victory for this House, which has always fought on behalf of our citizens to reduce the price of phone calls made abroad and to eliminate the abusive practices of large telecoms companies. There are many positive aspects to this text, foremost among which is the fact that from 1 July 2012, the regulation will also apply if European consumers travel abroad, outside EU territory. Another huge innovation is the fact that, from 1 July 2014, consumers will be able to take out a cheaper mobile roaming contract that is separate to their contract for domestic mobile services, while retaining the same phone number. Overall, this is an excellent first-reading agreement off the back of three trialogues with the Council; through it, EU citizens can see the new strength of the post-Lisbon Parliament in decisions that have a positive influence on their daily lives."@en1
