(22) In order to assess the competitive developments in Union-wide roaming markets and to report regularly on changes in actual wholesale roaming charges for unbalanced traffic between roaming providers, BEREC should be given the task of collecting data from national regulatory authorities on the actual charges applied for balanced and unbalanced traffic respectively.; It should also collect data on cases where parties to a wholesale agreement have opted out from the application of maximum wholesale roaming charges or have implemented measures at wholesale level that are aimed at preventing permanent roaming or anomalous or abusive use of wholesale roaming access for purposes other than the provision of regulated roaming services to roaming providers’ customers while the latter are periodically travelling within the Union; to avoid penalising consumers on the domestic market who do not use roaming, it is essential to establish the principle of financial neutrality of free roaming, so as to prevent charges on the national market from rising and investments in the network from falling.

Article 19 a (new)
Article 19 a (new)
(6a) The following article is inserted: ‘The application of this regulation shall be conditional on the stability of national charges for individuals and businesses and on continued investment in the network. If the national regulator, in response to a request from an individual consumer or business or from a telecommunications operator, finds that there has been a rise in non-roaming national charges, a fall in investments in the network, or any other indirect form of repercussion from roaming charges, it may take immediate measures to abolish the ceilings and restore charges for roaming.’
