No EU roaming fees from mid-2017

Mobile roaming fees will be abolished in the European Union starting with June 2017 after lawmakers reached an agreement on Tuesday morning following 12-hours long talks. In line the the new regulations, the EU citizens will pay the same prices across all 28-member states. Charges have been slowly decreasing over the years and will decline further in April 2016. The EU lawmakers have been working on this project since 2007. What is more, the EU members agreed on so-called net neutrality rules, which will  Internet providers banned from blocking or slowing down access to particular content, services or applications. "Every European must be able to have access to the open Internet and all content and service providers must be able to provide their services via a high-quality open Internet," the European Commission said in a statement.
