"I would have liked to vote for a stronger regulation reform today, but this was the only possible compromise on the table to get EU wide progress. That is why I chose not to block the compromise struck between the institutions.
Conservatives in Parliament tend to raise the banner of freedom to do business without hindrance across the EU’s national borders, but drag their feet when the profits of big providers are at stake, even when they make no more economic or legal sense. It has taken the S&D group many years of persuasion to introduce progressive roaming caps in successive EU regulation reviews for us to finally have a deadline to scrap roaming, including a final reduction between 2016 and June 2017. Still, we had to accept fair-use caveats and special circumstances where companies may need to be able to recover costs, as EU governments insisted. We managed to impose equal internet traffic treatment across all 28 EU countries. National regulators will be empowered to ban the advantage given to certain, select apps when mobile operators charge consumers no cost for their data use.
I am confident we will be able to evaluate, build upon and strengthen this reform soon, as innovation in the sector is only bound to accelerate."@en1
