Roaming charges between Moldova and the European Union are expected to be abolished next January after the European Commission adopted a proposal.
Roaming charges have been abolished in the European Union since 2017. Residents of a member country pay the same price for data, calls or SMS when traveling as in their country. Moldova, a candidate for EU integration since 2022, was previously excluded from this agreement. This changed after the European Commission adopted a proposal to integrate the European internal market.
A proposal under a system called “Roam like Home” that allows you to use your mobile plan as if you were at home in a country outside the EU. Some steps still need to be taken, in particular a review by the Council of the European Union and then by the Union-Moldova Association Committee, which must “adopt a joint decision amending the Annex to the Association Agreement in order to achieve the greatest possible integration”. current European legislation in the field of telecommunications and postal services.” Once the agreement between the two institutions is signed, the start of roaming at national tariffs could be approved, with a view to ending the charges on January 1, 2024.
