Regulation 16 Radio spectrum coordination among Member States

(1) Without prejudice to obligations under international law and relevant international agreements such as the International Telecommunications Union Radio Regulations and the ITU Radio Regional Agreements, the Regulator shall take all necessary measures, in accordance with these Regulations, to ensure that the use of radio spectrum is organised in a way that no other Member State is prevented from allowing on its territory the use of harmonised radio spectrum in accordance with European Union law, especially due to cross-border harmful interference between Member States.

(2) The Regulator, in carrying out the tasks assigned to it under these Regulations, shall cooperate with national regulatory authorities in other Member States and, where appropriate, through the RSPG, in the cross-border coordination of the use of radio spectrum in order to -

(a) ensure compliance with paragraph (1), and

(b) resolve any problem or dispute in relation to cross-border coordination or cross-border harmful interference between Member States, as well as with third countries, which prevent Member States from using the harmonised radio spectrum in their territory.
