Articoli Correlati: Roaming - EU Parliament - Communications

On March 24^th, 2022, the EU Parliament adopted a new regulation according to which the "Roam Like At Home" scheme will be renewed for another ten years. The legislation provides that mobile phone users traveling within the Union can continue to use their mobile phones at no additional cost, in addition to those who already pay nationally. In negotiations with the Council, MEPs also obtained a ban on practices that reduce the quality of roaming services (for example, when the connection switches from 4G to 3G). Roaming providers will be obliged, for the first time, to ensure the same roaming quality offered in the country of residence (if the same conditions are available on the network of the country visited). Users will then be entitled to the same quality and speed of mobile connection abroad as in the country of residence. The legislation, agreed in December by Parliament and the Council, follows the abolition of the surcharge for roaming communications in 2017.
