<p>UK has consistently pushed for faster reductions to roaming charges in the EU,
leading to their abolition. I am therefore pleased that, on 29 June, the European
Council, Parliament and Commission reached agreement on the Telecoms Single Market
Package.</p><p>As a result, from June 2017 British visitors will no longer be charged
extra to use their mobile phones anywhere in the EU. From June 2016 until the abolition
of roaming charges, the amount providers can charge for roaming will be about 25%
of current roaming tariffs for calls and data.</p><p> </p><p>The UK has been central
to shaping these negotiations, which will result in real benefits for UK consumers,
demonstrating that the UK can achieve positive change in the EU when we work with
determination with other Member States and the EU institutions.</p>
