On 26 May, IMCO will consider the draft opinion to ITRE by Ms Róża Thun und Hohenstein (EPP) on the proposal for a Recast of the current Roaming Regulation that expires on 30 June 2022.
The proposal aims to increase transparency and ensure a genuine 'Roam-Like-At-Home' experience in terms of quality of service and access to emergency services while roaming. For the IMCO rapporteur, it is important to strengthen further consumer protection, including clear and comprehensible consumer information regarding different elements of the quality of service while roaming, making sure that roaming providers have access to full and regularly updated lists of mandated emergency communications, as well as better communication to consumers about value added services and access to emergency services. Moreover, the IMCO rapporteur emphasises that the scope of the Regulation should be open to future revisions whenever needed and through the ordinary legislative procedure.
