EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations require that, for the duration of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the intensity of the electromagnetic energy at which certain apparatus operates is such that it does not cause undue interference with wireless telegraphy apparatus used for public safety purposes within defined protection areas.
The Schedule to these Regulations specifies the protection areas.
Non compliance is a ground for OFCOM giving notice under section 55 of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006.
The approval of the Secretary of State has been given in accordance with section 54(7) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006.
These Regulations were notified to the European Commission and to other member states in accordance with Directive 2004/108/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the approximation of the laws of Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility (OJ No. L390, 31.12.2004, p.24) and Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations (OJ No L204 21.7.1998, p.37) as amended by Directive 98/48/EC (OJ No L217 5.8.1998, p.18).
