PURPOSE: to ensure coordinated transition in spectrum\nuse of the 470-790 MHz frequency band in the Union according to\ncommon objectives.
\nPROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and\nof the Council.
\nROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European\nParliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative\nprocedure and on an equal footing with the Council.
\nBACKGROUND: rapidly growing wireless broadband traffic\nmakes enhanced wireless network capacity a necessity.\nWireless connectivity requires access to spectrum in the bands\nbelow 1 GHz, being the sweet spot for both wide coverage and high\nspeeds.
\nIn its strategy\nfor the digital single market (DSM), the Commission highlights\nthe importance of the 694-790 MHz (700 MHz)\nfrequency band for ensuring the provision of broadband services\nin rural areas and stresses the need for a coordinated release of\nthat frequency band, while accommodating the specific needs of\naudiovisual media services distribution.
\nAt present the UHF broadcasting band comprises the\nrange of frequencies from 470 to 790 MHz (the UHF\nband). This band is used for digital terrestrial television\n(DTT) and audio programme making and special events (audio\nPMSE) equipment, essentially wireless microphones.
\nThe 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12),\nthe International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Conference that\nrevises the binding Radio Regulations, decided that the 700 MHz\nband should be allocated to both the broadcasting and mobile\nservice in Region 1 (Europe and Africa) as of 2015.
\nThe absence of a Union-wide common legislation for the\nUHF band would create detrimental fragmentation in the use of the\nUHF band within the Union.
\nThe Commission responded to the outcomes of the\nEuropean stakeholder process and international agreements under the\naegis of the ITU by developing a strategy for the Union on the\nlong-term use of the UHF band. The strategy will promote the\ndigital single market and ensure efficient management of radio\nspectrum in the UHF band, reflecting its social, cultural and\neconomic value.
\nThe UHF band strategy has three major\nstrands:
\nThis proposal contributes to the target of 1200 MHz\nfor wireless broadband, which is one of the key objectives of\nDecision\n2012/243/EU of the European Parliament and the Council\nestablishing a multiannual radio spectrum policy programme\n(RSPP).
\nIMPACT ASSESSMENT: the preferred option chosen by the\nCommission seeks to reach the following strategic objectives: (i)\ncoordinated designation and authorisation of the 700 MHz frequency\nband for wireless broadband by 2020; (ii) coordinated designation\nof the sub-700 MHz frequency band for flexible use, subject to\nnational demand, which would safeguard the continued provision of\naudiovisual media services to a mass audience (in a\ntechnology-neutral way), including free-to-view distribution, as\nwell as spectrum availability for audio PMSE use.
\nCONTENT: in accordance with the UHF band strategy,\nthis proposal lays down two binding common deadlines for Member\nStates for repurposing the 700 MHz frequency band for wireless\nbroadband:
\nIn addition, the proposal also:
\nThe Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted\nthe report by Patrizia TOIA (S&D, IT) on the proposal for a\ndecision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the use\nof the 470-790 MHz frequency band in the Union.
\nThe committee recommended that the European\nParliaments position adopted at first reading following the\nordinary legislative procedure should ament the Commission proposal\nas follows:
\nFlexibility option: the\nCommission proposal stipulated that by 30 June 2020, Member States\nshall allow the use of the 694-790 ('700 MHz') MHz frequency band\nfor terrestrial systems capable of providing wireless broadband\nelectronic communications services only under harmonised technical\nconditions set by the Commission.
\nMembers proposed that Member States may delay the\nmaking available of the band for up to two years on the basis of\nduly justified reasons. Where a Member State does so, it shall\ninform other Member States and the Commission accordingly and shall\ninclude those duly justified reasons in its national\nroadmap.
\nMember States that delay the use of the 700 MHz\nfrequency band shall cooperate with neighbouring Member\nStates with a view to coordinating the process of releasing the\nband for wireless broadband electronic communications\nservices.
\nThis Decision is without prejudice to the right of\nMember States to organise and use their spectrum for the purposes\nof public order, public security and defence.
\nTransfer or leasing of the rights of use of\nspectrum: the proposal stipulates\nthat, by 30 June 2022, Member States must allow the transfer or\nleasing of the rights of use of spectrum for electronic\ncommunications services in the 700 MHz frequency band.
\nMember States shall allow the transfer or leasing of\nthe rights of use of spectrum for terrestrial systems capable of\nproviding wireless broadband electronic communications services in\nthe 700 MHz frequency band, in accordance with open and transparent\nprocedures, as from the date of the granting of such\nrights.
\nUse of the 700 MHz frequency band or amendments to\nexisting rights: when Member States\nauthorise the use of the 700 MHz frequency band or amend existing\nrights to use the 700 MHz frequency band, they shall take all\nnecessary measures to ensure a consistent and continuous\nhigh-quality level of coverage of their entire population and\nterritory, at the fastest possible broadband speeds, and at least\n30 Mb/s both indoors and outdoors, including coverage in\npredetermined national priority areas where necessary, and along\nmajor terrestrial transport paths, for the purpose of allowing\nwireless applications and European leadership in new digital\nservices to contribute effectively to Union economic\ngrowth.
\nIn addition, Member States may take due account of the\nopportunity to ensure that Mobile Virtual Network Operators\n(MVNOs) are able to obtain wholesale access to spectrum and of the\nopportunity to increase the geographical coverage of\nMVNOs.
\nThe Commission shall facilitate, where feasible, the\noption of jointly organised auctions, thus contributing to pan\nEuropean structures.
\nAudiovisual media services to mass\naudiences: the proposal obliges\nMember States to ensure that the 470-694 MHz frequency band (below\n700 MHz), or part of it, is available for the terrestrial provision\nof audiovisual media services to mass audiences and for use by\nwireless audio programme making and special events equipment\n(PMSE).
\nMembers proposed that Member States shall ensure\navailability until 2030 of the 470-694 MHz frequency band\nfor the terrestrial provision of broadcasting services to mass\naudiences, including free television and innovative user-driven\ninitiatives, and for use by wireless audio PMSE equipment, based on\nnational broadcasting needs and taking into account the\nprinciple of technological neutrality.
\nEach Member State shall ensure that any other use of\nthe 470-694 MHz frequency band on its territory is compatible with\nits national broadcasting needs and does not cause harmful\ninterference with the terrestrial provision of broadcasting\nservices in a neighbouring Member State.
\nNational roadmap:\nMembers considered it necessary for the Member States to adopt and\nmake public their national plan and schedule ('national roadmap')\nas soon as possible and in any event no later than 30 June\n2018.
\nMember States may, where appropriate and in accordance\nwith Union law, ensure that the direct cost, in particular for\nend-users, of migration or reallocation of spectrum use is\ncompensated adequately, promptly, and in a transparent\nmanner, in order to facilitate the transition in spectrum use to\nmore spectrum-efficient technologies such as DVB-T2 or\nHEVC.
\nImpact assessment: by\n1 January 2023 (as opposed to 1 January 2025), the\nCommission shall carry out an assessment and report to the Council\nand Parliament on developments in the use of the 470-960 MHz\nfrequency band, with a view to developing a common position on the\nreview of that frequency band at the World Radiocommunication\nConference in 2023.
\nThe assessment shall take into account technological\ndevelopments, changes in consumer behaviour but also the\nrequirements in connectivity to foster growth and innovation in the\nUnion.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 614 votes to 44,\nwith 28 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a\ndecision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the use\nof the 470-790 MHz frequency band in the Union.
\nParliaments position adopted at first reading\nfollowing the ordinary legislative procedure amended the Commission\nproposal as follows:
\nFlexible approach:\nMember States should be able to delay, on the basis of duly\njustified reasons, allowing the use of the 700 MHz frequency band\nfor terrestrial systems capable of providing wireless broadband\nelectronic communications services beyond a common Union deadline\nof 2020 for up to two years.
\nThe reasons for such a delay should be limited\nto:
\nIn the event that Member States delay allowing the use\nof the 700 MHz frequency band, they should inform the other\nMember States and the Commission accordingly and include the\nduly justified reasons therefor in their national roadmaps. Such\nMember States and any Member States affected by the delay should\ncooperate with a view to coordinating the process of\nreleasing the 700 MHz frequency band.
\nAs soon as possible and no later than 30 June\n2018, Member States shall adopt and make public their national\nplan and schedule (national roadmap).
\nTransfer or leasing of the rights of use of\nspectrum: upon the granting of the\nrights of use in the 700 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems\ncapable of providing wireless broadband electronic communications\nservices, Member States shall allow the transfer or leasing of such\nrights in accordance with open and transparent procedures pursuant\nto the applicable Union law.
\nUse of the 700 MHz frequency band or amendments to\nexisting rights: when Member States\nauthorise the use of or amend existing rights to use the 700 MHz\nfrequency band, they shall take due account of the need to achieve\nthe target speed and quality objectives set out in Decision\nNo 243/2012/EU (minimum target speeds of 30 Mbps), including\ncoverage in predetermined national priority areas where necessary,\nsuch as along major terrestrial transport paths.
\nFrequency band inferior to 700 MHz: Member States shall ensure availability at least\nuntil 2030 of the 470-694 MHz (sub-700 MHz)\nfrequency band for the terrestrial provision of broadcasting\nservices, while taking into account the principle of technological\nneutrality.
\nPivotal role of the EU:\nthe amended text stressed that the Union needs to take the lead by\nsecuring enough spectrum for the successful launch and development\nof 5G. It made reference to the resolution\nof 19 January 2016 in which it called on the European Parliament to\nhighlight that radio spectrum is essential for the future\ncompetitiveness of the Union.
\nPURPOSE: to ensure coordinated transition in spectrum\nuse of the 470-790 MHz frequency band in the Union according to\ncommon objectives.
