Trying to do a Bank Job

A legal challenge to the EU's capping of roaming rates, brought by the UK's four biggest networks, has failed at the European Court of Justice. Strictly speaking the case was against the UK's implementation of the rules, and thus was launched at the High Court of England and Wales in 2007 when the new rules were passed by the …
Because incoming phone calls have to be routed via a server in (I presume) the host country; you would expect this to cost more.
Whereas IP sites can be anywhere (often in the US) and should cost no more from one EU country than another; so to my mind "data roaming" is a meaningless concept.
Strangely enough roaming calls aren't generally routed through the home network - though the home network is required to provide cryptographic examples (rather than keys) for identification and receives billable event notifications.
Data is, as Chad H. points out, routed through the home network, which means Google still comes up in English and operator-specific services are available.

I recently got a message from T-Mobile telling me that they had slashed rates on roaming,
And indeed, the per minute rate is halved. But now they charge per minute rather than per second, and add a per-call fee. So what used to cost at minimum 23 cents, now costs 104 cents. The break even point is at 3 minutes 30 seconds. I checked my most recent calls from abroad, and almost all calls are under 1 minute.
