THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision)(1), and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2010/166/EU(2) sets technical and operational conditions necessary to allow the use of GSM on board vessels (MCV services) in the Union.
(2) The development of enhanced means of communications supported by technical progress can improve the capacity for all citizens to be connected everywhere and at all times in line with the Radio Spectrum Policy Programme established by Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(3) and contribute to the implementation of the Digital Single Market. Moreover, spectrum should be used in accordance with the principles of technology and service neutrality set out in Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(4).
(3) Decision 2010/166/EU calls on the Member States to keep under review the use of the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz bands by systems providing MCV services in their territorial seas, in particular with regard to the continued relevance of all the conditions in that Decision and to instances of harmful interference. Member States are also required to submit to the Commission a report on their findings and the Commission should, where appropriate, review Decision 2010/166/EU.
(4) The reports provided by Member States to the Commission have strongly confirmed the need to allow new communication technologies for MCV use.
(5) In order to facilitate further deployment of MCV applications in the Union, the Commission gave a mandate on 16 November 2015 to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (‘the CEPT’) in accordance with Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC to examine the possibility for coexistence of seaborne devices using LTE technology with terrestrial electronic communications networks operating in the 1 710-1 785/1 805-1 880 MHz and 2 500-2 570/2 620-2 690 MHz bands and the coexistence of seaborne devices using UMTS technology with terrestrial electronic communications networks operating in the 1 920-1 980/2 110-2 170 MHz bands.
(6) Following that mandate, the CEPT adopted on 17 June 2016 its report 62 which concluded that it would be possible to operate MCV, provided that the relevant technical conditions are met, using LTE technology in the 1 710-1 785/1 805-1 880 MHz and 2 500-2 570/2 620-2 690 MHz bands and UMTS technology in the 1 920-1 980/2 110-2 170 MHz band. Therefore, Decision 2010/166/EU should be amended based on the results of CEPT report 62 to include those technologies and frequencies and allow the use of systems based on these technologies on board vessels.
(7) Without prejudice to the requirements set out in the Annex, and in order to protect other authorised uses of spectrum, Member States may place additional geographic restrictions on the operation of the MCV system in their territorial sea.
(8) Considering the importance of the UMTS and LTE technologies for wireless communications in the Union, the possibility to use MCV LTE systems and MCV UMTS systems as described in this Decision should apply as early as possible and not later than 6 months after the date of notification of this Decision.
(9) MCV technical specifications should remain under review in order to ensure that they match technological progress.
(10) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Decision 2010/166/EU is amended as follows:
Article 1 is replaced by the following:
The purpose of this Decision is to harmonise the technical conditions for the availability and efficient use of the 900 MHz, 1 800 MHz, 1 900/2 100 MHz, 2 600 MHz frequency bands for systems providing mobile communications on board vessels services within territorial seas in the Union.’.
Article 2 is amended as follows:
point 1 is replaced by the following:
“mobile communication services on board vessels (MCV services)” means electronic communication services, as defined in Article 2(c) of Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council(5), provided by an undertaking to enable persons on board a vessel to communicate via public communication networks using a system subject to Article 3 without establishing direct connections with land-based mobile networks;’;
point 7 is replaced by the following:
“vessel base transceiver station (vessel BS)” means a mobile pico-cell located on a vessel and supporting GSM, LTE or UMTS services in compliance with the Annex to this Decision;’;
the following points are added:
“the 1 900/2 100 MHz bands” means the 1 920-1 980 MHz band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 2 110-2 170 MHz band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
“the 2 600 MHz band” means the 2 500-2 570 MHz band for uplink (terminal transmit, base station receive) and 2 620-2 690 MHz band for downlink (base station transmit, terminal receive);
“LTE system” means an electronic communications network as defined in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision 2011/251/EU(6);
“UMTS system” means an electronic communications network as defined in the Annex to Implementing Decision 2011/251/EU.’.
Article 3 is replaced by the following:
1.Member States shall make available at least 2 MHz of spectrum in the uplink direction and 2 MHz of corresponding paired spectrum in the downlink direction within the 900 and/or 1 800 MHz bands for GSM systems providing MCV services on a non-interference and non-protected basis in their territorial seas.
2.As early as possible, and 6 months after the date of notification of this Decision at the latest, Member States shall make available 5 MHz of spectrum in the uplink direction and 5 MHz of corresponding paired spectrum in the downlink direction within the 1 900/2 100 MHz bands for UMTS systems and within the 1 800 and 2 600 MHz bands for LTE systems providing MCV services on a non-interference and non-protected basis in their territorial seas.
3.Member States shall ensure that the systems covered by paragraphs 1 and 2 comply with the conditions set out in the Annex.’.
Article 4 is replaced by the following:
Member States shall keep under review the use of the frequency bands by the systems providing MCV services in their territorial seas, which are referred to in Article 3(1) and (2), in particular with regard to the continued relevance of all the conditions set out in Article 3 and to instances of harmful interference.’.
The Annex is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 1 February 2017.
