The hated mobile phone roaming charges that blight¹ tourists' trips around Europe are set to be abolished - but you'll have to wait until 2017 for it to happen.

糟心的漫游费曾毁掉多少人的美好欧洲行，现在它终于要被取消了——不过要等到2017年哦。

The agreement announced on June 30 will end the frustration² of EU citizens on holiday or abroad for business who face steep charges for using their phones for calls and Internet browsing³ when in the bloc⁴ but outside their home country.

Coming into force on June 15, 2017, the deal means 'you can use your mobile device when travelling in the EU paying the same prices as at home,' the European Commission said in a statement.

'If you pay for a monthly volume of minutes, SMS and data in your country, any voice call, SMS and data session you make while travelling abroad in the EU will be deducted⁵ from that as if you were at home, with no extra charges,' it added.

The deal was reached following discussions stretching back to 2013 in overnight talks between the Latvian presidency⁶ of the EU and the European Parliament.

It still needs formal approval by the bloc's parliament and 28 governments and was described as 'provisional'.

'This is the end of a long process and we're delighted we managed to produce a result that will mean concrete improvement for citizens in the single market,' European Commission spokesman Margaritis Schinas told reporters at a briefing in Brussels.
