Unfortunately things are not that easy...
The court verdict (some years ago) only said that a bank
is not allowed to make differences between national and
Euro-international transfers.

So there are banks which raised their national fees and get
"balance". For instance, my own bank has high national fees
when you go to the counter in person - and low fees only for online
banking.

And when you transfer (internationally) between bank A and bank B,
it is sufficient that one side has high fees in order to make the
transfer expensive.
