EU Parliament committee approves roaming, neutrality deal
2015-07-15 14:48:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The EU compromise on net neutrality and an end to roaming charges has passed another key hurdle on the way to becoming law, with approval from the Parliament's Industry committee. The deal must still be approved by the full Parliament and Council before it takes effect; these votes are expected to take place in the autumn. The MEPs on the Industry committee added some small amendments to the text, notably on the proposed cost recovery for operators due to the planned end of roaming from June 2017. EU member states had included a stipulation that if operators can prove that they cannot recover their costs and that this affects domestic prices, national regulators may authorize them to impose minimal surcharges on roaming in exceptional circumstances to recover these costs. The MEPs added that national regulators authorities would have the means to amend or reject the surcharges if they are unfounded. The MEPs also inserted wording to "safeguard equal and non-discriminatory treatment of traffic" on the internet. At the Parliament's request, the deal includes a provision to give consumers a right to better information about their contracts.
