(Telecompaper) The European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) has approved an updated version of the proposed Electronic Communications Code, announcing that the revised rules will give citizens better access to telephone and internet networks. In a statement, the parliament said committee MEPs agreed that EU communications companies should be required to justify when they charge additional fees to users calling from mobiles or landlines to another EU member state. "The regulating of intra-EU calls is the next logical step and will demonstrate our will to make steady improvements for the citizens and businesses of Europe," said MEP Pilar del Castillo, rapporteur on the bill. The Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (Berec) would be tasked with setting out guidelines on how service providers could recover the costs they incur in other ways.
