Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/750 of 8 May 2015 on the harmonisation of the 1452-1492 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Union (notified under document C(2015) 3061) (Text with EEA relevance)

This Decision is aimed at harmonising the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the 1452-1492 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in the Union.

1 No later than six months after the date of notification of this Decision, Member States shall designate and make available, on a non-exclusive basis, the 1452-1492 MHz frequency band for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services in compliance with the parameters set out in the Annex.

2 Member States shall ensure that the terrestrial systems referred to in paragraph 1 give appropriate protection to: (a) systems in adjacent bands; and (b) terrestrial broadcasting systems operating within the 1452-1479,5 MHz frequency band pursuant to an authorisation in force on the day of notification of this Decision or to subsequent renewal of such authorisation and in compliance with the parameters set by the Maastricht Special Arrangement of 2002, as revised in 2007.

3 Member States shall facilitate cross-border coordination agreements so as to enable operation of the systems referred to in paragraph 1, taking into account existing regulatory procedures and rights, and relevant international agreements.

Member States shall not be bound by the obligations under Article 2 in geographical areas where coordination with third countries makes it necessary for them to deviate from the parameters set out in the Annex. They shall aim to minimise the duration and geographical scope of such deviation.

Member States shall report on the application of this Decision no later than nine months after the date of notification. Member States shall monitor use of the 1452-1492 MHz frequency band and report their findings to the Commission upon request or at their own initiative in order to allow timely review of this Decision, when necessary.

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
