2010/0252(COD) Radio spectrum policy: first programme
2011/03/14
ITRE
19 amendments...
Amendment 64 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 4 (4) This first programme should in particular support the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth given the huge potential of wireless services to promote an information-based economy, develop and assist sectors relying on information and communications technologies and overcome the digital divide. It is also a key action in the Digital Agenda for Europe4 which aims to deliver fast broadband internet in the future network-based knowledge economy, with an ambitious target for universal broadband coverage
Amendment 83 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 9 (9) As underlined in the Digital Agenda for Europe, wireless broadband is an important means to boost competition, a pan- European level playing field, consumer choice and access in rural and other areas where deployment of wired broadband is difficult or economically unviable. However, spectrum management may affect competition by changing the role and power of market players, for example if existing users receive undue competitive advantages. Limited spectrum access, in particular when appropriate spectrum becomes scarcer, can create a barrier to entry for new services or applications and hamper innovation and competition. Acquisition of new usage rights, including through spectrum trading or other transactions between users, and the introduction of new flexible criteria for spectrum use can have an impact on the existing competitive situation. Member States should therefore take appropriate ex ante or ex post regulatory measures (such as action to amend existing rights, to prohibit certain acquisitions of spectrum rights, to impose conditions on spectrum hoarding and efficient use such as those referred to in Article 9 paragraph 7 of the Framework Directive, to limit the amount of spectrum for each operator, or to avoid excessive accumulation of spectrum) to avoid distortions of competition in line with the principles underpinning Article 5(6) of Directive 2002/20/EC (the ‘Authorisation’ Directive) and Article 1(2) of Directive 87/372/EEC (the ‘GSM’ Directive). Member States may also take steps to achieve more even spectrum allocation between economic operators by reserving spectrum for new entrants to a frequency band or group of bands with similar characteristics.
Amendment 94 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 11 (11) Harmonised 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 conformity7 are essential to achieve efficient spectrum use and should take account of legally defined sharing conditions. European standards for non-radio electric and electronic equipment and networks should also avoid disturbance to spectrum use. The cumulative impact of the increasing volume and density of wireless devices and applications combined with the diversity of spectrum use challenges current approaches to interference management. These should be examined and reassessed together with receiver characteristics and more sophisticated interference avoidance mechanisms, with the aim of avoiding harmful interference or disturbance to the existing and future spectrum users.
Amendment 127 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 14 (14) Since a common approach and economies of scale are key to developing broadband communications throughout the Union and preventing competition distortion and market fragmentation among Member States, certain authorisation and procedural conditions could be defined in concerted action among Member States and with the Commission. Conditions could include coverage obligations, spectrum block size, the timing of granting rights, access to mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) and the duration of rights of use. Reflecting the importance of spectrum trading for increasing efficient use of spectrum, facilitating the emergence of new pan-European operators and developing the internal market for wireless equipment and services, these conditions should apply to spectrum bands that are allocated to wireless communications, and for which rights of use may be transferred or leased.
Amendment 138 #
Proposal for a decision Recital 20 (20) To evolve from current practice and building on the principles defined in the Council Conclusions of 3 February 1992 on procedures to be followed at the World Administrative Radio Conference of 1992, and where the World Radio communications Conferences (WRC) and other multilateral negotiations touch upon principles and policy issues with an important Union dimension, the Union should be able to establish new procedures to defend its interests in multilateral negotiations
Amendment 161 #
Proposal for a decision Article 1 – paragraph 1 a (new) This Decision is without prejudice to existing EU law and to measures taken at national level, in compliance with EU law, to pursue general interest objectives, and in particular relating to content regulation and audiovisual policy and to the right of Member States to organise and use their spectrum for public order and public security purposes and defence.
Amendment 172 #
Proposal for a decision Article 2 – point a (a) encouraging efficient use of spectrum to best meet the increasing demand for use of frequencies, while at the same time respecting the important social, cultural and economic value of spectrum;

Amendment 258 #
Proposal for a decision Article 4 – paragraph 4 4. Member States shall ensure that selection conditions and procedures promote investment and efficient use of spectrum. In addition, Member States shall promote the ongoing efficient use of spectrum for both networks and user applications.
Amendment 274 #
Proposal for a decision Article 5 – paragraph 2 – introductory part 2. In order to implement fully the obligations of paragraph 1, and in particular to ensure that competition is not distorted by any accumulation, transfer or modification of rights of use for radio frequencies, Member States
Amendment 288 #
Proposal for a decision Article 5 – paragraph 3 3. Member States shall ensure that authorisation and selection procedures avoid delays and promote effective competition by preventing any potential anti-competitive outcomes for the benefit of EU citizens and consumers.
Amendment 314 #
Proposal for a decision Article 6 – paragraph 3 3. Member States shall, by 1 January 2013 make the 800 MHz band available for electronic communications services in line with the harmonised technical conditions laid down pursuant to the Decision No 676/2002/EC.
Amendment 339 #
Proposal for a decision Article 6 – paragraph 4 4. Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, shall ensure that the provision of access to broadband content and services using the 790-862 MHz (800MHz) band is encouraged in sparsely populated areas, in particular through coverage obligations; in doing so, they shall examine ways and, where necessary, take appropriate measures to ensure that the freeing of the 800 MHz band does not adversely affect programme making and special events (PMSE) users nor lead to disruption of the existing broadcasting services.
Amendment 343 #
Proposal for a decision Article 6 – paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. The Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, shall implement necessary technical and regulatory measures in order to avoid harmful interference from electronic communications services in the 800 MHz band to broadcasting and PMSE services below 790 MHz.
Amendment 372 #
Proposal for a decision Article 8 – paragraph 1 1. The Commission, assisted by the Member States, which shall provide all appropriate information on spectrum use, shall create an inventory of the entire existing radio spectrum use and of possible future needs for spectrum in the Union
Amendment 386 #
Proposal for a decision Article 8 – paragraph 2 2. The inventory referred to in paragraph (1) shall allow the assessment of the technical efficiency of existing spectrum uses and the identification of inefficient technologies and applications, unused or inefficiently used spectrum and spectrum sharing opportunities, based on clearly defined and transparent assessment criteria and methodologies. It shall take into account future needs for spectrum based on consumers’ and operators’ demands, and of the possibility to meet such needs.

Amendment 145 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 7 (7) The Presidency Conclusions of the European Council of 4 February 2011 acknowledged that the EU energy efficiency target is not on track and that determined action is required to tap the considerable potential for higher energy
Amendment 184 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 15 (15) The rate of building renovation needs to be increased, as the existing building stock represents the single biggest potential sector for energy savings. Moreover, buildings are crucial to achieving the EU objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990. To ensure this, it is essential that this Directive maintains a long-term view and establishes roadmaps for drastically reducing the energy use of both private and public buildings by 2050. Buildings owned or occupied by public bodies account for a considerable share of the building stock and have high visibility in public life. It is therefore appropriate to set a long-term target and an annual rate of
Amendment 206 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 17 a (new) (17a) Taking into account that buildings represent 40% of the final energy use in the EU and 36% of the CO2 emissions, and given that the Roadmap for moving to a low carbon economy in 2050 establishes an objective of 90% emission reduction from the building sector, this objective will only be achieved if the EU takes strong action in the building stock as a whole, as an essential part of its energy infrastructure. This is why, following the exemplary role of the public sector in building renovation, Member states must also, within a long-term perspective and preserving the principle of subsidiarity and cost-effectiveness, establish path ways for the renovation of commercial and private buildings.
Amendment 217 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 19 (19) To tap the energy efficiency and savings potential in certain market segments where energy audits are generally not offered commercially (such as households or small and medium-sized enterprises), Member States should ensure that energy audits are available. Energy audits should be mandatory and regular for large enterprises, as energy savings can be significant. Furthermore, Member States should take positive steps to encourage energy efficiency and savings in these market segments. First by encouraging electricity and gas distributors to restructure their tariffs and second by reviewing the application of variable rates of VAT.
Amendment 239 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 21 (21) When designing energy efficiency improvement measures, account should be taken of efficiency gains and savings obtained through the widespread application of cost-effective technological innovations such as smart meters. To maximise the saving benefits of these innovations, final customers should be able to visualise indicators of cost and consumption and have regular individual billing based on actual consumption. In particular, Member States should require electricity and gas distributors to adopt a common system of display to facilitate decisions by consumers.
Amendment 248 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 23 (23) High-efficiency cogeneration (CHP) and district heating and cooling has significant potential for saving primary energy which is largely untapped in the Union. Member States should draw up national plans to develop high-efficiency CHP and district heating and cooling where appropriate to their climate and housing structure. These plans should cover a sufficiently long period to provide investors with information concerning national development plans and contribute to a stable and supportive investment environment. New electricity generation installations and existing installations which are substantially refurbished or whose permit or licence is updated should be equipped with high-efficient CHP units to recover waste heat stemming from the production of electricity. This waste heat could then be transported where it is needed through district heating networks. To this end, Member States should adopt authorisation criteria to ensure the location of installations in sites close to heat demand points. Member States should however be able to lay down conditions for exemption from these obligations where certain conditions are met.
Amendment 268 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 27 (27) Most EU businesses are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They represent an enormous energy saving potential for the EU. To help them adopt energy efficiency measures, Member States should establish a favourable framework aimed at providing SMEs with technical assistance and targeted information while recalling that the best incentive for SMEs must be the financial savings to be achieved through energy efficiency measures.

Amendment 630 #
Proposal for a directive Article 4 a (new) Article 4 a Without prejudice to Article 7 of Directive 2010/31/EU, Member States shall implement dedicated national roadmaps for the renovation of the buildings owned or occupied by public bodies. These roadmaps shall ensure measured reductions of delivered or final energy consumption (kWh and KWh/m2 or equivalent), as defined in Directive 2010/32/EC Annex 1, of at least 20%, 40% and 80% by 2020, 2030 and 2045, respectively. As part of these plans, all buildings owned or occupied by the national, regional and local authorities which- as from 1 January 2014- are subject to periodic modernisation works (for instance, because of age, poor quality or bad performance) will also be subject to energy renovation leading to the reduction of energy consumption mentioned above. When fulfilling requirements set out in paragraph 1, Member States shall ensure that deep renovations are carried out whenever technically feasible, starting first with the worst performing buildings, and encompassing all economically justifiable measures. These renovations shall be carried out at a rate and a depth that leads to a deemed or estimated annual cumulative energy performance improvement of at least 2.5% on average per year for the stock of public buildings as a whole until 2030, and beyond.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – broad lines of the specific objectives and activities – paragraph 15 All the activities shall take a challenge- based approach, in which basic science, applied research, knowledge transfer and innovation are equally important and interlinked components, focusing on policy priorities without predetermining the precise choice of technologies or solutions that should be developed. The emphasis shall be on bringing together a critical mass of resources and knowledge across different fields, technologies and scientific disciplines in order to address the challenges. The activities shall cover the full cycle from research to market, with a new focus on innovation-related activities, such as piloting, demonstration, test-beds, support for public procurement, design, end-user driven innovation, social innovation and market take-up of innovations.
Amendment 849 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – broad lines of the specific objectives and activities – paragraph 16 Social sciences and humanities shall be an integral part of the activities to address all the challenges. In addition, the underpinning development of these disciplines shall be supported under the specific objective ‘Inclusive, innovative and secure societies’. Support will also focus on providing a strong evidence base for policy making at international, Union, national and regional levels. Given the global nature of many of the challenges, strategic cooperation with third countries shall be an integral part of each challenge, paying special attention to supporting global efforts that require a critical mass for Europe to participate and where Europe could take the lead. In addition, cross-cutting support for international cooperation shall be provided under the specific objective ‘Inclusive, innovative and secure societies’.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 1 – point 3 – point 3.3 – point a – paragraph 2 Key activities shall be to provide excellent and innovative training to early-stage researchers at post-graduate level via interdisciplinary projects or doctoral programmes involving universities, research institutions, businesses, SMEs and other socio-economic groups from different countries. Full flexibility in terms of duration, host institution and number of trainees will be possible inside the overall agreed host network and financial volume for a project. This will improve career prospects for young post-graduate researchers in both the public and private sectors.
Amendment 1007 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 2 – point 1 – paragraph 12 A major component of ‘Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies’ are Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), defined as micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing systems. These multi- disciplinary, knowledge and capital- intensive technologies cut across many diverse sectors providing the basis for significant competitive advantage for European industry. An integrated approach, promoting the combination, convergence and cross-fertilisation effect of KETs in different innovation cycles and value chains can deliver promising research results and open the way to new industrial technologies, products, services and novel applications (e.g. in space, transport, environment, health, agriculture etc.). The numerous interactions of KETs and enabling technologies will therefore be exploited in a flexible manner, as an important source of innovation. This will complement support for research and innovation in KETs that may be provided by national or regional authorities under the Cohesion Policy Funds within the framework of smart specialisation strategies.

Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 2 – point 2.1 – paragraph 4 The potential of biological resources and ecosystems could be used in a much more sustainable, efficient and integrated manner. For examples, the potential of biomass from agriculture, forests and waste streams from agricultural, aquatic, industrial, and also municipal origins could be better harnessed
Amendment 1389 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – paragraph 2 A fully functional European bio-economy – encompassing the sustainable production of renewable resources from land and aquatic environments and their conversion into food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy as well as the related public goods - will generate high European added value. Managed in a sustainable manner, it can reduce the environmental footprint of primary production and the supply chain as a whole. It can increase their competitiveness and provide jobs and business opportunities for rural and coastal development. The food security, sustainable agriculture, and overall bio- economy – related challenges are of a European and global nature. Actions at Union level are essential to bring together clusters to achieve the necessary breadth and critical mass to complement efforts made by a single or groups of Member States. A multi-actor approach will ensure the necessary cross-fertilising interactions between researcher, businesses, farmers/producers, advisors and end-users. The Union level is also necessary to ensure coherence in addressing this challenge across sectors and with strong links to relevant Union policies. Coordination of research and innovation at Union level will stimulate and help to accelerate the required changes across the Union.

Amendment 1449 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 3 The roadmap to a competitive low-carbon economy in 205027 shows that the targeted reductions in greenhouse gas emissions will have to be met largely within the territory of the Union. This would entail reducing CO2 emissions by over 90 % by 2050 in the power sector, by over 80 % in industry, by at least 60 % in transport and by about 90 % in the residential sector and services. The roadmap also shows that inter-alia, gas, in the short to medium term, can contribute to the transformation of the energy sector.
Amendment 1462 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 3 – point 3 – point 3.1 – paragraph 4 To achieve these reductions, significant investments need to be made in research, development, demonstration and market roll-out of efficient, safe and reliable low- carbon energy technologies, including gas, and services.

Amendment 245 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 11 (11) Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation in the European Union (hereinafter ‘Horizon 2020’), focuses on three priorities, namely generating excellent science in order to strengthen the Union's world-class excellence in science, fostering industrial leadership to support business, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) and innovation and tackling societal challenges, in order to respond directly to the challenges identified in the Europe 2020 strategy by supporting activities covering the entire spectrum from research to market.
Amendment 283 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 21 a (new) (21a) Within the "Societal Challenges" priority a challenge-based approach should be followed, in which basic science, applied research, knowledge transfer and innovation are equally important and interlinked components. In order to ensure the appropriate balance between consensus-based and more disruptive R&D&I, at least 15% of the budget of the "Societal Challenges" priority should follow a bottom-up logic with open calls (no predefined call topics). Furthermore, the right balance should be stricken within the "Societal challenges" as well as within the "Industrial leadership" priorities between smaller and bigger projects, taking into account the specific sector structure, type of activity, technology and research landscape, while ensuring an acceptable level of success rate.
Amendment 480 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 13 – paragraph 1 1. Linkages and interfaces shall be implemented across and within the priorities of Horizon 2020. Particular attention shall be paid in this respect to the development and application of key enabling and industrial technologies, to bridging from discovery to market application, to cross-, trans- and inter- disciplinary research and innovation, to social and economic sciences and humanities, to fostering the functioning and achievement of the ERA, to cooperation with third countries, to responsible research and innovation including gender, and to enhancing the attractiveness of the research profession and to facilitating cross-border and cross- sector mobility of researchers.

Chemical and microbial food and feed contamination, risks and exposures will be assessed, monitored, controlled and traced throughout the food and drinking water supply chains from production and storage to processing, packaging, distribution, catering, and preparation at home. Food safety innovations, improved risk communication tools and improved food safety standards will lead to enhanced consumer trust and protection in Europe. Globally improved food safety standards will also help to strengthen the competitiveness of the European food industry.
Amendment 707 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – section 3 – point 2 – point 2.2 – point 2.2.3 – paragraph 1 The needs for the food and feed industry to cope with social, environmental, climate and economic change from local to global will be addressed at all stages of the food and feed production chain, including agricultural production, food design, processing, packaging, process control, waste reduction, by-product valorisation and the safe use or disposal of animal by- products. Innovative and sustainable resource-efficient processes and diversified, safe, affordable and high quality products will be generated. This will strengthen the innovation potential of the European food supply chain, enhance its competitiveness, create economic growth and employment and allow the European food industry to adapt to changes. Other aspects to address are traceability, logistics and services, socio- economic factors, the resilience of the food chain against environmental and climate risks, and the limitation of negative impacts of food chain activities and of changing diets and production systems on the environment.

Amendment 202 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) The main establishment of a controller in the Union, including a controller that is also a processor, should be determined according to objective criteria and should imply the effective and real exercise of management activities determining the main decisions as to the purposes, conditions and means of processing through stable arrangements. This criterion should not depend whether the processing of personal data is actually carried out at that location; the presence and use of technical means and technologies for processing personal data or processing activities do not, in themselves, constitute such main establishment and are therefore no determining criteria for a main establishment. The main establishment of the processor that is not also a controller should be the place of its central administration in the Union.
