The renewed authorization issued by ANCOM will apply for a maximum period of 12 months starting 1 July 2020.

Digi Communications published a statement announcing that the National Authority for Management and Regulation of Communications in Romania (ANCOM) has authorized  the Company’s subsidiary in Romania RCS & RDS, to continue to apply a surcharge for certain mobile telephony roaming services supplied to its customers traveling in the European Economic Area (EEA), therefore including the EU.

By decision received on Monday (29 June), in order to allow RCS&RDS to continue to cover the costs incurred for the supply of roaming services and to continue to apply the national tariffs in Romania, ANCOM has authorized RCS&RDS’ request to apply a surcharge, on top of the national tariffs, for certain roaming services supplied to its own customers traveling in the EEA, but without going above the maximal following values:

• 0.0154 Euro/minute (excluding VAT), for the calls made by its clients,
• 0.0079 Euro/minute (excluding VAT), for the calls received by its clients (this value might vary in accordance with the changes brought by the European legislation),
• 1.41 Euro/GB (0.00141 Euro/MB), excluding VAT.

 RCS&RDS will apply the roaming surcharges starting from the first unit of consumption supplied to its own customers traveling in the EEA. The renewed authorization issued by ANCOM will apply for a maximum period of 12 months starting 1 July 2020.
