Matthias Schmidt(@eurofounder):My wife went for a party trip to Ibiza with her girlfriends I didn't hear from her for the whole weekend Finally, she texted me explaining "her German number doesn't work abroad and calling was expensive" I laughed out loud How silly is she? Thanks to the European Union, roaming charges were abolished across the EU years ago I tried to explain this to her, but she seemed very uncomfortable Most likely embarrassed that she forgot such basic consumer rights Sometimes I really worry she doesn’t understand how much the EU has improved our daily lives
