In the context of its policy on 3G mobile communications, the Commission launched a study with the purpose to formulate recommendations for future EU regulatory policy in assigning radio frequencies, based on a comparative analysis of 3G licensing conditions across the EU Member States and an assessment of their impact on the mobile sector competitiveness and the Internal Market.

Where, in the case of competitive or comparative selection procedures, fees for rights of use for radio frequencies consist entirely or partly of a one-off amount, payment arrangements should ensure that such fees do not in practice lead to selection on the basis of criteria unrelated to the objective of ensuring optimal use of radio frequencies.

It would therefore not be contrary to this Directive if the application of objective, non-discriminatory and proportionate selection criteria to promote the development of competition would have the effect of excluding certain undertakings from a competitive or comparative selection procedure for a particular radio frequency.

With regard to competitive or comparative selection procedures for radio frequencies Article 7 shall apply.

(21) Member States may use, inter alia, competitive or comparative selection procedures for the assignment of radio frequencies as well as numbers with exceptional economic value.
