It has finally happened! 27 telecom ministers from the EU member states met in Luxembourg on Thursday and approved the decisions brought forward by the EU parliament to set a cap on the roaming rates that may be charged within the EU. Now, all that remains is for the member states to formally adopt and publish the new regulations by 29th June, and then the operators will have one month to adopt the rates to the new regulations, in other words, by the end of July.
The following are the maximum per-minute that the operators will be able to charge. As one can see, the rates are set to decrease in a 3 steps. The prices are in Eurocents, and do not include VAT.
