  1. Roberto Viola – Chair, ERG 4 October 2007 ERG interim report on implementation

  2. ERG activities • Close cooperation between NRAs and Commission on several fronts • ERG issued guidelines to aid common interpretation of Regulatory provisions • draft guidelines issued August/September • final guidelines to be published very shortly • Coordinated early information gathering exercise – early indicators of Eurotariff take-up • Development of harmonised detailed data specification for future data collection

  3. Early indicators • High level of response to ERG data gathering exercise – great majority of operators responded • Very good levels of reported compliance – advice to consumers of available tariffs, including a Eurotariff, provided on time • Significant work being undertaken by industry to improve transparency by end of September • ERG will continue to monitor compliance with transparency provisions

  4. Eurotariff – initial impact • ERG estimate that around 200 million mobile subscribers across Europe were able to benefit from Eurotariff rates at the end of August • Many providers of international roaming services offer the Eurotariff as the default roaming tariff, but… • …importantly consumers are still free to choose alternative roaming tariffs where these might better suit their needs as several providers also offer other roaming tariffs

  5. Next steps • Continued cooperation with Commission • provision of expert support and analysis, particularly for Commission review • Ongoing 6 month data collection – publication of aggregated information in ERG report • Will provide detailed information on provider volumes and revenues for making and receiving calls, split: • by consumer type (contract/pre-pay and corporate) • for voice, SMS and data services • between wholesale and retail level • All NRAs will share experiences of implementation through ERG forum
