“Let us consult upon to-morrow’s business”*: consultation on radio spectrum policy programme

Posted on March 4, 2010 | Filed Under spectrum policy 

Now that the interregnum is over and Neelie Kroes has taken the reins of DG INFSO, the long dry spell that we had to endure without consultation documents from the Commission finally is a thing of the past. After it started the universal service consultation started two days ago (see this post), the Commission today released a consultation document calling for input in preparation for the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (press release). The “multiannual spectrum policy programme”, as it is called in Article 8a, paragraph 3, of the Framework Directive, as revised by Directive 2008/140/EC (”Better Regulation” Directive), “shall set out the policy orientations and objectives for the strategic planning and harmonisation of the use of radio spectrum in accordance with the provisions of this [ie: Framework] Directive and the Specific Directives.”

In Addition, a “Spectrum Summit“, jointly organized by Parliament and Commission, will be held on 22 and 23 March 2010.
