“The authorities will implement this capping progressively, aiming to match the levels set by the European Union, according to European roaming legislation. In the long term, they will eliminate roaming fees,” says the Parliament’s press service.

Telecommunication providers must send automatic notifications to users when they enter a roaming zone and inform them of the applicable costs and consumption limits.

The initiative also includes measures to encourage investment in electronic communications infrastructure, including 4G and 5G networks.
