EU to vote on mobile roaming fees

Why costs are high

Plans to cut the cost of mobile phone calls between European Union member states may be about to move a step closer with a key vote in Brussels.

A committee at the European Parliament will on Thursday vote on European Commission proposals to cut so-called roaming charges by as much as 70%.

If the bill passes the committee, it will then move to the main parliament.

The commission wants the cuts in place by the summer, but they will still need to be approved by EU nations.
