ANNEX A: INFORMATIVE ANNEX COVERING THE APPLICATIONS OPERATING UNDER GENERAL AUTHORISATION REGIME WHICH ARE NOT COVERED BY THE ANNEXES 1 TO 13 OF THIS RECOMMENDATION

Scope of annex
This annex covers information about terrestrial applications which are not included in Annexes 1 to 13 and for which frequency ranges are designated in ERC/ECC Decisions, and which are authorised by CEPT administrations under general authorisation (license-exempt regulation). The regulatory status of these radio applications, which may be different to the regulatory status of SRDs, are defined by the relevant ERC/ECC Decisions. Related national implementation information and national restrictions are provided within the Appendices 1 and 3. These applications are authorised under a general authorisation regime (exempted from individual licensing) and therefore protection of individual radio stations/radio equipment cannot be ensured. This is also the case for the applications covered by Annexes 1 to 13. With regard to potential new future applications, sharing and compatibility analysis for all of the concerned services and applications are to be studied and will look at the potential for interference in both directions in order to give a clear view on any future sharing environment. The regulatory status of both, the relevant radio application for which a spectrum designation already exists in a frequency band and the potential new radio application, needs to be taken into account. Such new equipment in a frequency band should implement an adequate spectrum sharing mechanism, since there is non-exclusive access to spectrum, in order to facilitate sharing between the various technologies and applications in the respective frequency band. Such new applications should only be allowed to operate when the mandatory features required in the respective ERC/ECC Decision are implemented, or any other mechanism providing a similar level of mitigation.
