Press Release: New Commission Decision creates a single reference point for uniform EU radio spectrum information

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 2007, 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.
