The European Commission yesterday set up an advisory group to
co-ordinate regulation on the radio spectrum, which is used for the
transmission of mobile and fixed wireless communications. The Radio
Spectrum Policy Group will assist the Commission in policy and
harmonisation issues.
The Group will comprise high level representatives from Member
States and the Commission, as well as observers from the European
Parliament, European Economic Area and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute.
The first meting of the Group will be held in the second half of
2002. The Group’s work will be complemented by that of the Radio
Spectrum Committee, which will focus on technical implementing
measures for efficient use of radio spectrum.
Another advisory group, the European Regulators Group has also
been set up to assist the Commission in the areas of electronic
communications networks and services.
