HMG isn't alone with their opposition. According to several reports in the German-speaking media from 25 September (linked below) not a single country has agreed to the EU Commission's proposals for future roaming regulations. France and Italy have even fully rejected Neelie Kroes' plans which are also unlikey to find sufficient support by the Council of the European Union. Members of the European Parliament are cited saying that there is no need to railroad through reforms of the telecoms sector before the upcoming elections to the European Parliament to be held between 22 and 25 May 2014.
