BEREC Guidelines on the application of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2022/612 of 6 April 2022 on roaming on public communications networks (Wholesale Roaming Guidelines)

These Wholesale Roaming Guidelines replace the BEREC Guidelines of 2022 (BoR (22) 147), which concern the wholesale roaming access obligations for MNOs and the rights for access seekers on the application of Article 3 of the Roaming Regulation. The revision of the BEREC Guidelines of 2022 was necessary to take into account the mutual granting of internal market treatment with respect to the sector of roaming on public mobile communications networks between the European Union and Ukraine, and the mutual granting of further market opening with respect to the sector of roaming on public mobile communications networks between the European Union and Moldova, both becoming effective as of 1 January 2026.

This document contains the Guidelines, which BEREC is required to publish under Article 3 (8) Roaming Regulation relating to the consistent application of Article 3. These Guidelines are not presented as an official legal interpretation. Nevertheless, National Regulatory Authorities (NRA) are required to take the Guidelines into utmost account when resolving any disputes or taking any enforcement actions concerning Article 3. In particular, where NRAs make a decision which departs from these Guidelines, they will be expected to state objective reasons for the departure. These Guidelines are complementary to the BEREC Retail Roaming Guidelines.
