European Commission proposes to extend free roaming in EU to 2032

Article summary

The European Commission has proposed a new Roaming Regulation to ensure that EU citizens can continue to benefit from roaming without additional charges after the current rules expire in 2022. As well as prolonging the current rules until 2032, the regulation should ensure better roaming services for travellers. Consumers will be entitled to receive the same quality and speed of service abroad as in their home country, if equivalent networks are available. The new rules should also provide for efficient access to emergency services.
