(1)The retail price caps for intra-EU communications established in Article 5a(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, which entered into force in all Member States on 15 May 2019, were set at a level that allowed providers of publicly available number-based interpersonal communications services to recoup their costs, thus ensuring a proportionate intervention on both the mobile and fixed communications market. Those measures, which were set to expire on 14 May 2024 pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2018/1971 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, aimed at ensuring that consumers were not charged excessive prices for intra-EU communications.
