(16) Providers of regulated roaming calls at the retail level should therefore be required to bill their customers on a per second basis for all calls subject to a Eurotariff, subject only to the possibility to apply a minimum initial charging period of no more than 30 seconds for calls made. If the retail operator makes use of this possibility, a termination charge can also be levied at wholesale level for no more than 30 seconds, but not for a greater number seconds than the retail operator charges for. This will enable operators to cover any reasonable set-up costs as well as provide flexibility to compete by offering shorter minimum charging periods. However, no minimum initial charging period is justified in the case of Eurotariff calls received, as the underlying wholesale cost is charged on a per second basis and any specific set- up costs are already covered by mobile termination rates.
