The death of mobile roaming charges came closer in the EU after member states at the Permanent Representatives Committee yesterday approved the deal with the European Parliament.

Under the agreement, roaming surcharges in the European Union will be abolished on 15 June 2017. But, roaming providers can apply a ‘fair use policy’ to prevent abusive use of roaming. This will include using roaming services for purposes other than periodic travel.

For roaming that goes beyond fair use, a small fee may be charged. This fee cannot be higher than the maximum wholesale rate that operators pay for using the networks of other EU countries. The limit for fair use will be defined by the Commission by 15 December 2016.
