Article 1
The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the conditions for the availability and efficient use of the frequency bands 1 980 to 2 010 MHz (earth-to-space) and 2 170 to 2 200 MHz (space-to-earth) for systems providing mobile satellite services in the Community.
Article 2
For the purposes of this Decision, ‘systems providing mobile satellite services’ are systems capable of providing radiocommunications services between a mobile earth station and one or more space stations, or between mobile earth stations by means of one or more space stations, or between a mobile earth station and one or more complementary ground based stations used at fixed locations.
Article 3
1.Member States shall designate and make available as from 1 July 2007 the frequency bands 1 980 to 2 010 MHz and 2 170 to 2 200 MHz for systems providing mobile satellite services.
Any other use of these bands shall not cause harmful interference to systems providing mobile satellite services and may not claim protection from harmful interference caused by systems providing mobile satellite services.
2.Any complementary ground based station shall constitute an integral part of the mobile satellite system and shall be controlled by the satellite resource and network management system. It shall use the same direction of transmission and the same portions of frequency bands as the associated satellite components and shall not increase the spectrum requirement of its associated mobile satellite system.
Article 4
Member States shall keep the use of the relevant bands under scrutiny and report their findings to the Commission to allow for a review of this Decision if necessary.
