This report briefly sets out the Commission’s strategy for a coherent EU radio spectrum policy as part of the i2010 initiative, which seeks to encourage the development of the digital economy. In particular, the need for a gradual but systematic liberalisation of radio spectrum use is essential. While bearing in mind national interests in this matter, common action at EU level will give a critical contribution to the coherence and final success of this task.

The Commission intends to improve the effectiveness of the use of the radio spectrum in the EU by using a coherent toolbox of concrete actions in coordination with the Member States:

- The definition of a common set of rules for spectrum management is needed to provide predictability for investors and borderless functionality of equipment for users.

Implementing flexibility of spectrum usage: The Commission proposes to introduce spectrum markets in the EU by 2010. A coordinated EU introduction would avoid undermining the benefits of an integrated European market in e-communications and could generate as much as € 9 bn/year net benefits.

Assisting the development of a common EU technological base by supporting the uptake of broadband, Ultra Wideband-enabled products (UWB), short range devices, such as wireless ”smart tags” (RFID).

Furthermore, two areas identified by the Commission in i2010 as “flagship ICT initiatives”, will be considered for integrated actions to satisfy their spectrum requirements:

Technologies for independent living and health: many assistive and medical applications are wireless, such as social alarms for the elderly and radio telemetry between patients and monitoring equipment. The intelligent car shall interact with its environment by radio means, via for instance inter-vehicle communications (IVC).

Optimising the impact of EU actions - Some general issues shall also be further developed in the near future:

Regulatory impact assessment: appropriate methodologies are needed to assess the economic and societal consequences of specific decisions. Efforts should be undertaken to co-opt the knowledge of industry and other stakeholders via position papers, public consultations and/or independent studies. Reviewing the validity of harmonisation measures: the continued relevance of EU measures shall be assessed periodically. Instead of across-the-board “sunset” clauses, which could bluntly pre-empt reasoned review results, each annual report should consider existing EC spectrum regulation, and propose targeted action as necessary. National implementation: the Commission will monitor and encourage the timely implementation of EC spectrum harmonisation measures at national level to remove barriers to a single market for radio technologies across the EU.

Supporting EU interests in international negotiations

The active promotion of EU policies in international spectrum negotiations is essential. Preparations for two ITU conferences are on-going:

• The Regional Radiocommunication Conference (RRC-06) involving some 120 countries, will develop a technical plan for digital land-based broadcasting.

• The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) : the Commission shall identify common EU priorities and objectives for these global radio negotiations. Main issues at stake in 2007 shall be the global identification of additional spectrum for advanced mobile communications, for aviation systems and for short-wave radio broadcasting.

Following these two conferences, the Commission shall assess results and the extent to which the current process supports EU policies, principles and laws in international negotiations.

Developing the institutional set-up of spectrum policy at EU level

The Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC) and the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) are working well. However, spectrum policy developments in the EU rely also on close interaction between these EC mechanisms and CEPT. With EU expansion, the “actors” in these decision-making bodies have become very similar.

While experiences to date are positive, future action needs to be more complementary , without undue overlaps and with clear understanding of where appropriate decisions are best taken. A “sequential” approach, applied systematically and based on modalities defined in the RSD, would best use the “added value” of each mechanism. The underlying justification for action would be assessed and agreed using Community mechanisms (Commission with RSC and RSPG), while the necessary and often complex technical compatibility and development work would be undertaken by CEPT pursuant to a mandate. In the light of this work, the Commission would then adopt technical implementing measures with the assistance of the RSC.

This Communication constitutes the first report on activities undertaken under the Radio

Spectrum Decision (RSD). It informs the Council and European Parliament about the activities undertaken

to date pursuant to the Radio Spectrum Decision and seeks their support for the policy perspectives for future action.

The report describes past and future actions and challenges related to the implementation of a successful Community policy in this area. The RSD has established a policy and legal framework in the Community to coordinate policy approaches and, where appropriate, harmonise conditions for the availability and efficient use of the radio spectrum necessary for the establishment and functioning of the internal market in Community policy areas.

The Commission counts on the essential contribution of other actors such as CEPT, standardisation bodies like ETSI, and the Member States to make this process work.

Two different platforms have been established for the spectrum policy mechanism:

- Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC);

- Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG).

Mandates have been issued to CEPT to develop harmonised technical solutions for specific issues in line with Community objectives and policies.

The successful achievement of the RSD's aims will depend on the active cooperation by all relevant actors and concurrence of various elements:

-CEPT should continue to support the implementation of the RSD, notably by delivering in a timely manner results in line with Community policy objectives, so that they can be transposed into Commission decisions.

-The mechanisms to prepare and adopt Commission decisions under the RSD should be sufficiently flexible and responsive to rapidly-evolving societal needs and wireless technologies.

-The political will to improve co-ordination of radio spectrum policies between Member States, via the RSPG, should be sufficiently strong to deliver actionable recommendations on such issues.

-Proper synergy and timing coordination between RSPG policy initiatives, RSC implementing measures and other Community activities must be ensured.

The long-term ability of this policy to meet its objectives and to deliver benefits to European citizens depends on effective cooperation between all actors concerned, i.e. the Commission, Member States at the policy and technical levels and the European Parliament. These instances have agreed on a policy framework to support the timely introduction of innovative wireless applications, while balancing the current and future needs of different sectors, including public services.

Effective spectrum regulation is a fundamental requirement for an information-based modern society, enabling citizens to benefit from a wide choice of new applications and industry to increase its productivity via technological innovation. A continuous analysis and reform of spectrum management is required to make best use of this resource. Given Europe's leadership and interest in wireless applications, this is a task which needs to be taken up in full awareness of the issues at stake.

It informs the Council and European Parliament about the activities undertaken to date pursuant to the Radio Spectrum Decision and seeks their support for the policy perspectives for future action. The report describes past and future actions and challenges related to the implementation of a successful Community policy in this area. The RSD has established a policy and legal framework in the Community to coordinate policy approaches and, where appropriate, harmonise conditions for the availability and efficient use of the radio spectrum necessary for the establishment and functioning of the internal market in Community policy areas. The Commission counts on the essential contribution of other actors such as CEPT, standardisation bodies like ETSI, and the Member States to make this process work. Two different platforms have been established for the spectrum policy mechanism: - Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC); - Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG). Mandates have been issued to CEPT to develop harmonised technical solutions for specific issues in line with Community objectives and policies. The successful achievement of the RSD's aims will depend on the active cooperation by all relevant actors and concurrence of various elements: -CEPT should continue to support the implementation of the RSD, notably by delivering in a timely manner results in line with Community policy objectives, so that they can be transposed into Commission decisions. -The mechanisms to prepare and adopt Commission decisions under the RSD should be sufficiently flexible and responsive to rapidly-evolving societal needs and wireless technologies. -The political will to improve co-ordination of radio spectrum policies between Member States, via the RSPG, should be sufficiently strong to deliver actionable recommendations on such issues. -Proper synergy and timing coordination between RSPG policy initiatives, RSC implementing measures and other Community activities must be ensured. The long-term ability of this policy to meet its objectives and to deliver benefits to European citizens depends on effective cooperation between all actors concerned, i.e. the Commission, Member States at the policy and technical levels and the European Parliament. These instances have agreed on a policy framework to support the timely introduction of innovative wireless applications, while balancing the current and future needs of different sectors, including public services. Effective spectrum regulation is a fundamental requirement for an information-based modern society, enabling citizens to benefit from a wide choice of new applications and industry to increase its productivity via technological innovation. A continuous analysis and reform of spectrum management is required to make best use of this resource. Given Europe's leadership and interest in wireless applications, this is a task which needs to be taken up in full awareness of the issues at stake. type: Follow-up document body: EC

In particular, the need for a gradual but systematic liberalisation of radio spectrum use is essential. While bearing in mind national interests in this matter, common action at EU level will give a critical contribution to the coherence and final success of this task. The Commission intends to improve the effectiveness of the use of the radio spectrum in the EU by using a coherent toolbox of concrete actions in coordination with the Member States: - The definition of a common set of rules for spectrum management is needed to provide predictability for investors and borderless functionality of equipment for users. Implementing flexibility of spectrum usage: The Commission proposes to introduce spectrum markets in the EU by 2010. A coordinated EU introduction would avoid undermining the benefits of an integrated European market in e-communications and could generate as much as € 9 bn/year net benefits. Assisting the development of a common EU technological base by supporting the uptake of broadband, Ultra Wideband-enabled products (UWB), short range devices, such as wireless ”smart tags” (RFID). Furthermore, two areas identified by the Commission in i2010 as “flagship ICT initiatives”, will be considered for integrated actions to satisfy their spectrum requirements: Technologies for independent living and health: many assistive and medical applications are wireless, such as social alarms for the elderly and radio telemetry between patients and monitoring equipment. The intelligent car shall interact with its environment by radio means, via for instance inter-vehicle communications (IVC). Optimising the impact of EU actions - Some general issues shall also be further developed in the near future: Regulatory impact assessment: appropriate methodologies are needed to assess the economic and societal consequences of specific decisions. Efforts should be undertaken to co-opt the knowledge of industry and other stakeholders via position papers, public consultations and/or independent studies. Reviewing the validity of harmonisation measures: the continued relevance of EU measures shall be assessed periodically. Instead of across-the-board “sunset” clauses, which could bluntly pre-empt reasoned review results, each annual report should consider existing EC spectrum regulation, and propose targeted action as necessary. National implementation: the Commission will monitor and encourage the timely implementation of EC spectrum harmonisation measures at national level to remove barriers to a single market for radio technologies across the EU. Supporting EU interests in international negotiations The active promotion of EU policies in international spectrum negotiations is essential. Preparations for two ITU conferences are on-going: • The Regional Radiocommunication Conference (RRC-06) involving some 120 countries, will develop a technical plan for digital land-based broadcasting. • The World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-07) : the Commission shall identify common EU priorities and objectives for these global radio negotiations. Main issues at stake in 2007 shall be the global identification of additional spectrum for advanced mobile communications, for aviation systems and for short-wave radio broadcasting. Following these two conferences, the Commission shall assess results and the extent to which the current process supports EU policies, principles and laws in international negotiations. Developing the institutional set-up of spectrum policy at EU level The Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC) and the Radio Spectrum Policy Group (RSPG) are working well. However, spectrum policy developments in the EU rely also on close interaction between these EC mechanisms and CEPT. With EU expansion, the “actors” in these decision-making bodies have become very similar. While experiences to date are positive, future action needs to be more complementary , without undue overlaps and with clear understanding of where appropriate decisions are best taken. A “sequential” approach, applied systematically and based on modalities defined in the RSD, would best use the “added value” of each mechanism. The underlying justification for action would be assessed and agreed using Community mechanisms (Commission with RSC and RSPG), while the necessary and often complex technical compatibility and development work would be undertaken by CEPT pursuant to a mandate. In the light of this work, the Commission would then adopt technical implementing measures with the assistance of the RSC. type: Follow-up document body: EC

PURPOSE : to present a proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community. CONTENT : this proposal seeks to complement the spectrum management activities of the International Telecommunications Union/World Radiocommunications Conference (ITU/WRC) and the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications administrations (CEPT) and of the Member States. The purpose of this proposal for a Decision is to create a policy framework to advise the Commission on market, technological and international developments impacting on the use of radio spectrum in the areas of communications, broadcasting, transport and R&D Community policies. The main objectives of the proposal are to: - to create a senior Official Spectrum Policy Group which should advise the Commission on the need to harmonise the use of radio spectrum in relevant Community policy areas; - to provide for a legal Community framework to ensure effective implementation of radio spectrum with the assistance of a Radio Spectrum Committee; - to ensure coordinated and timely provision of information on radio spectrum use and availability in the Community; - and to safeguard Community interest in international trade and radiocommunications negotiations.�
New
Following Parliament's first reading of the proposed Decision on radio spectrum policy in the EU, the European Commission was able to accept a large tranche of the amendments forwarded. Many of those accepted in full relate to a strengthening of the text vis-a-vis definitions. Further, the Commission was able to adopt an amendment introducing a new recital which calls upon Member States to ensure that the allocation and assignment of radio spectrum is based on objective, transparent, non-discriminatory and proportionate criteria. Those amendments accepted in part or in principle are done so on the understanding that some of the wording be restructured. Inter alia this includes amendments referring to: - the need to establish priorities between military and civil use of radio spectrum; - harmonisation of information, at a European level, in a more user friendly manner; - negotiations at the World Radiocommunications Conferences. A number of amendments were not accepted by the European Commission. Importantly, the Commission rejects Parliamentary proposals that all decision on harmonisation measures should be adopted under the Community legislative procedure, i.e co-decision. The Commission would rather such decisions remain within the remit of comitology. Similarly, the Commission, whilst accepting that the European Parliament should be kept informed about, and where appropriate, involved in consultations on Community radio spectrum policy issues, is nevertheless of the view Parliament should not be involved in the 'Senior Official Radio Spectrum Policy Group.' Also rejected are suggestions to modify internationally agreed and applicable definitions. Lastly, although certain elements in amendments 20 and 23 could have been accepted in principle by the Commission, the adopted compromise amendment could not be adopted. Reasons for this decision are four fold. Firstly, the compromise amendment suggests that a Senior Official Radio Spectrum Policy Committee will be created. This is not the case. Secondly, the amendment suggests that the Commission should always propose measures to the Parliament and the Council. This is only the case where such proposals would go beyond the adoption of technical implementing measures - i.e in comitology. Thirdly, the amendment stipulates that the CRPT will always receive mandates in the development of technical implementing measures. This is only the case in areas where the CRPT is competent. In other words with regard to frequency allocation and information availability only. Fourthly,the amendment proposes to approve mandates by the Committee in accordance with a regulatory procedure. This would mean a departure from current practice under Community legislation. Thus, the Commission is unable to accept this aspect of the amendment.�
