So, ignoring your attempt at preventing the obvious answer with your introductory rhetoric, you honestly believe that roaming charges were a significant issue for the EU? Why didn't you mention banning curved cucumbers instead?

The ban on curved cucumbers is a myth spread by the British tabloids. They did not ban curved cucumbers, they simply provided rules for classification of fruits and vegetables so that buyers know what they are purchasing. See: https://blogs.ec.europa.eu/ECintheUK/straight-cucumbers/

> you honestly believe that roaming charges were a significant issue for the EU For me and the other citizens of the EU who happen to live in another EU country, yes, it was a significant improvement.
