Amendment 11 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 provides for the possibility for an operator to apply a ‘fair use policy’ in accordance with the relevant implementing act. An adequate fair use policy has a crucial role to play in order to guarantee a financially sustainable model of the wholesale and retail roaming markets. A generous fair use policy for consumers needs to be accompanied by wholesale caps which reflect the real costs of providing roaming services and that will enable as many operators as possible to provide ‘roam- like-at-home’ offers without incurring huge cost increases, damaging competitive domestic markets or increasing prices for domestic customers.

Amendment 13 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4
(4) The abolition of retail roaming surcharges introduced by Regulation (EU) No 2015/2120, also named "roam-like-at- home’ (RLAH), is necessary to establish and ease the functioning of a digital single market across the Union. However, that Regulation alone is not sufficient to ensure the correct and sustainable functioning of the roaming market. This Regulation should therefore ensure that pricing models in domestic markets are not affected.
