In order to ensure that radio equipment uses the radio spectrum effectively and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum, radio equipment should be constructed so that: in the case of a transmitter, when the transmitter is properly installed, maintained and used for its intended purpose it generates radio waves emissions that do not create harmful interference, while unwanted radio waves emissions generated by the transmitter (e.g. in adjacent channels) with a potential negative impact on the goals of radio spectrum policy should be limited to such a level that, according to the state of the art, harmful interference is avoided; and, in the case of a re ...[+++]ceiver, it has a level of performance that allows it to operate as intended and protects it against the risk of harmful interference, in particular from shared or adjacent channels, and, in so doing, supports improvements in the efficient use of shared or adjacent channels.

Those conditions enable the market to be opened up to new radio equipment while limiting the risk of harmful interference by accumulation of an excessive number of items of radio equipment put into service, even though that equipment individually complies with the essential requirements set out in this Directive.

Pursuant to Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (the RTTE Directive) within such categories manufacturers should ensure that short-range devices effectively avoid harmful interference to other short-range devices.

Equipment operating within the conditions set in this Decision should also comply with the RTTE Directive in order to use the spectrum effectively so as to avoid harmful interference, demonstrated either by meeting harmonised standards or by fulfilling alternative conformity assessment procedures.

They are regulatory requirements aimed at managing the risk of harmful interference between neighbouring networks and are without prejudice to limits set in equipment standards under Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity (5) (RTTE Directive).

The Council expressed its support to the policy objectives to be achieved at WRC-03 in the context of the Community policies as defined in the Commission's Communication, in particular, the protection of third generation mobile communications (IMT-2000/UMTS) from harmful interference; the full operability of Galileo and the provision of all its planned services, the Public Protection and Disaster Relief (PPDR) with special attention to equipment interoperability and alternative wireless infrastructure platforms, including R-LAN systems especially identification of frequency bands for wireless access systems.
