<p>The European Commission adopted and launched a regulatory proposal covering the EU telecommunications single market on 12 September 2013; further action on roaming prices were included within the proposals.</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 we have not had an opportunity to consider the details of the recently adopted proposals, we support the objective of further reducing roaming charges which will benefit business and retail consumers alike.</p>
