<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"We have quite rightly abolished roaming within theEU, with the result that European citizens pay the same telephone charges as in their own country, wherever they are in theEU. This has helped to make theEU into a single digital market with low telephone charges.  However, European citizens are still faced with large bills if they call countries outside theEU.   We therefore need to find ways of cutting the cost of telephone communications with non-EU countries, as this will have beneficial consequences for European citizens, businesses, young people and, more generally, the development of communications with third countries.  We also need to decide what arrangements will apply regarding the United Kingdom once Brexit comes into effect. A return to the old charge system would be a major step backwards and cause great inconvenience.  In view of this:  Can the Commission say what steps it intends to take to ensure that the mobile telephony arrangements implemented within theEU will also apply to third countries?"
