Recital 3
(3) The strategic planning and harmonisation of spectrum use at Union level should enhance the single market for wireless electronic communications services and equipment as well as other Union policies requiring spectrum use, thus creating new opportunities for innovation and, employment creation and this will simultaneously contributinge to economic recovery and social integration across the Union, while at the same time respecting the important social, cultural and economic value of spectrum. To this end, the Union therefore needs a policy programme that covers the internal market in all Union policy areas involving the use of spectrum such as electronic communications, research and development, transport and energy.

Recital 15
(15) Additional spectrum may be needed by other sectors such as transport (for safety, information and management systems), R&D, public protection and disaster relief, e-health and e-inclusion. Optimising synergies and direct links between spectrum policy and R&D activities and carrying out studies of radio compatibility between different spectrum users should help innovation. The Commission's Joint Research Centre should help in developing the technical aspects of spectrum regulation, notably by providing testing facilities to verify interference models relevant to Union legislation. Moreover, results of research under the Seventh Framework Programme require the examination of the spectrum needs of projects that may have a large economic or investment potential, in particular for SMEs, e.g. cognitive radio or e-health. Adequate protection against harmful interference should also be ensured to sustain R&D and scientific activities.

Article 3 – point d
Article 3 – point d
(d) maintain and develop effective competition, in particular in electronic communication services, by preventing ex ante, or remedying ex post, excessive accumulation of radio frequencies by certain economic operators which results in significant harm to competition and distortion in the market;

Article 7 – paragraph 2
Article 7 – paragraph 2
2. In cooperation with the Member States, the Commission shall conduct studies and examine the possibility to design authorisation schemes which would contribute to a low-carbon policy, by saving energy in the use of spectrum as well as by making spectrum available for wireless technologies with a potential for improving energy savings and efficiency, including smart energy grids and smart metering systems.
Amendment 399 #
Proposal for a decision
Article 9 – paragraph 3
Article 9 – paragraph 3
3. Member States shall ensure that international regulations allow the full use of frequency bands for the purposes for which they are designated under Union law, and that a sufficient amount of appropriately protected spectrum is available for the implementation of Union sectoral policies.
