EUROPEAN COMMON PROPOSALS FOR THE
WORK OF THE CONFERENCE

This contribution presents the European common proposals for WRC-07. These have been developed by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT[1]) Conference Preparatory Group (CPG). As in past conferences, the intent of these proposals is to provide timely and effective response to emerging radiocommunication needs while maximizing efficient use of the spectrum, protecting current services and their expected development, and enabling equitable access to frequencies by all countries and systems.

The European administrations welcome the opportunity offered by WRC-07 for in-depth discussions with the other ITU administrations on the issues included in this Conference agenda. To this effect, coordinators have been designated for each agenda item to act as point of contact with the other administrations to contribute to the efforts of the Conference in arriving at decisions that can be supported by all ITU countries.

Annex 1 to this contribution provides the list of European coordinators for each of the WRC-07 agenda items.

The detailed proposals are provided in 25 addenda to this contribution, one per agenda item of the Conference. The table of contents for these addenda is provided in Annex 2.

The table of co-signatures by European administrations is provided in Annex 3.
