Croatia is a part of the analysis on the completion of calls to mobile and fixed networks proposed that the termination abcya fee in Croatian networks when the call comes from a number which does not belong to any of the operators from the EU / EEA is not regulated, and that is agreed between the Croatian and operators outside of the area.
The European Commission, said in HAKOM led by Drazen Lucic, these days gave a positive opinion on the proposal and make the final decision could be made next week at a meeting of the Council of HAKOM. According to HAKOM these estimates, it will mean a saving of at least two hundred million per year for telecom operators. So far, when and such prices were regulated, explain in HAKOM, Croatian operators were put in an unequal position in relation to operators outside the EU / EEA countries, abcya given that their termination rates are not regulated. The new proposal HAKOM Croatian operators to finally led to a situation that can negotiate on an equal footing with operators outside these countries.
Otherwise, announced the abolition of roaming charges in the EU by mid-2016 was put on hold, to be precise, in the course of the trialogue between the EU Council, the EP and the Commission on the subject. If fees for roaming remain in force, three Croatian mobile operators could save five hundred million a year, but Lucic says that this package of measures profit operators increases for a hundred million a year.
- Croatia is not against the abolition of additional charges when roaming, but provided that the abolition does not cause distortions in the market abcya that will lead to an increase in the prices of domestic services for all users in Croatia. It must be borne in mind that Croatia, as well as other Mediterranean countries, tourism extremely receptive country, which receives several times more foreign tourists, "Roamer", but that Croatian citizens traveling abroad. This means that mobile operators in Croatia and receive many times more roaming traffic which must serve, abcya in relation to roaming traffic by a very small number of Croatian abcya citizens realize in the rest of the EU. To be able to accept such an increase roaming traffic in the summer months, the mobile operators in Croatia must invest in capacity expansion in the tourist areas, which are optimally utilized only two months abcya during the year. The money required for such investments are part provides wholesale charging fees to foreign operators for each outgoing minute, SMS yl MB which side roamer made in Croatian networks of mobile operators.

These countries then do strong pressures wholesale fee, almost to the level of 0 as a prerequisite abolition additional charges when roaming. If that were to happen, and if wholesale roaming fees were significantly reduced, Croatian operators would not be able to return funds invested in the construction of additional capacity required for the acceptance of roaming traffic. To make up for the lost, the mobile operators in Croatia or to increase the price of domestic mobile services for all users, or to stop investing in the expansion of roaming abcya capacity, resulting in overall degradation of service, or even refusing to provide roaming services to foreign operators, because wholesale fees should unable abcya to return funds invested in the network in the tourist areas. So, we came into a situation that the vast majority of users in Croatia to travel abroad, subsidizing those traveling - say in HAKOM.
It was the BEREC and all member states within the EU Council recognized, added to, the above problems and proposed solutions to ensure prosperity for customers of all member states in a way that prices in roaming will be significantly lower than the current price, Eurotariff, as it will be at the level of domestic price plus a small addition that does not exceed the maximum permissible level of wholesale prices, as prescribed abcya by the current Regulation on roaming. At the same time, by increasing the prices of domestic mobile services are protected and users in those countries where domestic prices are lower than the wholesale fees, and most importantly, Croatia and other tourist countries and their users are also protected from poveć
