Recital 17
(17) Protection of public health against electromagnetic fields is essential for citizens‘ well-being and for a coherent approach to spectrum authorisation in the Union; while subject to Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields, it is essential to ensure constant monitoring of the ionising and non-ionising effects of spectrum use on health, including the real-life cumulative effects of spectrum use in various frequencies by an increasing number of equipment types. While achieving appropriate public safety, Member States should ensure protective measures are technology and service neutral.
