1695. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if his attention has been drawn to the proposal by the European Commission, upon the abolition of roaming charges across the European Union in 2017, to allow for free roaming only for a consecutive period of 30 days and for no more than 90 days in a year; his views on whether, given citizens have the free right of movement, this should not be impeded by unnecessary costs such as roaming charges; his further views on whether the implementation of these conditions would amount to the indirect retention of roaming charges; if he will raise this issue with his counterparts from other EU Member States; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
