PRESS RELEASE
New Commission Decision creates a single reference point for uniform EU
radio spectrum information (16 May 2007)Radio spectrum users will soon
benefit from greater clarity on what spectrum is available and how this
may be used across Europe. Such information helps industry to make
informed decisions when developing business opportunities, and so will
stimulate investment. It is also essential for secondary trading of
rights to use spectrum, which is also a Commission objective. The
Decision, adopted on 16 May, builds on existing requirements in the EU
Telecom Rules and defines a common format and level of detail for
information that Member States should provide.
