Commission Decision (EU) 2021/1038 of 23 June 2021 granting a transitional period to the Kingdom of the Netherlands pursuant to Decision 2008/477/EC as regards an update of relevant technical conditions applicable to the 2500-2690 MHz frequency band (notified under document C(2021) 4433) (Only the Dutch text is authentic)

A transitional period is hereby granted to the Netherlands under Decision 2008/477/EC subject to the conditions laid down in that Decision.

The Netherlands is hereby authorised to implement, until 11 May 2030 at the latest, time division duplex (TDD) instead of frequency division duplex (FDD) in the 2565-2570 MHz and 2685-2690 MHz sub-bands.

The Netherlands shall continue to ensure that the implementation of TDD pursuant to Article 2 does not unduly defer implementation of Decision 2008/477/EC, does not create undue differences in the competitive or regulatory situations between Member States and does not affect the terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services already operating or to be deployed in the 2500-2690 MHz frequency band in accordance with the technical parameters harmonised by Decision 2008/477/EC within other Member States.

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
