However intervention from the Administrations as far as the installation and use of equipment is concerned needs to be proportionate. Administrations and especially users, retaile
4、rs and manufacturers will benefit from a more deregulated system of authorising the use of radio equipment. 2 BACKGROUND There is a general agreement that when the efficient use of the frequency spectrum is not at risk and as long as harmful interference is unlikely, the installation and use of radi

Within the EEA, Directives 1999/5/EC (the R that it therefore would be desirable for CEPT Administrations to have common licence regimes at their disposai in order to control the installation, ownership and use of radio equipment; that there i

9、tions according to Community law; that TBR 028 contains provisions ensuring to prevent VSATs from unintended and unauthorised transmissions: noting (a) that VSATs operate with geo stationary satellites as part of the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) within the frequency bands 12.5 - 12.75 GHz (space-to
10、-Earth) and 14.0 - 14.25 GHz (Earth-to-space) under the control of the satellite system (authorised, if applicable), providing analogue or digital communications; (b) that VSATs using the frequency band indicated under a) fulfil the criteria for exemption listed in ERCREC 01-07, .e. by complying wit
11、h TBR28 or, for CEPT countries having implemented EU Directive 1999/5EC, by complying with that Directive. (c) that this Decision applies only to VSATs: using a transmitter power of no more than 2 watts; using an equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) of no more than 50 dBW; used beyond

Where justified, administrations may require a simple form of registration; 2. that
13、 this Decision shall enter into force on 27 March 2000 at the latest: 3. that CEPT Administrations shall communicate the national measures implementing this Decision to the ERC Chairman and the ER0 when the Decision is nationally implemented.
