European Parliament
Raül Romeva i Rueda  (Verts/ALE ),
in writing.
– In favour. The objective of reducing the difference between national and roaming tariffs, which was included in the Commission’s Benchmarking Framework 2011-2015, endorsed by the i2010 High Level Group in November 2009, and included in the Commission Communication ‘A Digital Agenda for Europe’, should also remain the goal of this regulation. The planned separate sale of roaming services and domestic services should increase competition, and therefore lower the prices for customers and create an internal market for roaming services in the Union with no significant differentiation between national and roaming tariffs. Union-wide roaming services can stimulate the development of an internal telecommunications market in the Union.
