	answer text	<p>We understand from recent public statements by Vice President of the European Commission, Neelie Kroes, that the European Commission intends to bring forward a package of regulatory proposals in the telecommunications sector in the near future and that these proposals are likely to include proposals to eliminate roaming charges throughout the European Union.</p><p>The UK Government has been a strong supporter of co-ordinated action to reduce roaming charges through a series of regulations which have already resulted in substantial reductions in roaming charges. While Ministers have not had an opportunity to discuss proposals in detail with Vice President Kroes, we support the objective of further reducing roaming charges which will benefit business and retail consumers alike.</p>
