EUROPEAN COMMON PROPOSALS FOR THE WORK OF THE ASSEMBLY
__
Abstract: / This contribution presents the European Common Proposals for WTSA 16 that have been developed by the CEPT Committee for ITU Policy (Com-ITU). /

The European Administrations congratulate the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the authorities of Tunisia for hosting the 2016 World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA-16).

This contribution presents the European Common Proposals (ECP) for WTSA-16. These have been developed by the CEPT Committee for ITU Policy (Com-ITU).

The following proposals to WTSA-16 reflect the European priorities for ITU-T over the next four-year period. CEPT believes that WTSA-16 will be a successful conference and will positively contribute to the development of telecommunications across the globe.

The European Administrations welcome the opportunity offered by WTSA-16 for in-depth discussions with the other ITU members on the issues to be addressed during the Assembly. To this effect, coordinators have been designated for each item to act as point of contact with the other participants to contribute to the efforts of the Assembly in arriving at decisions that can be supported by all ITU members.

The structure of the European common proposals to WTSA-16and the list of European coordinators for each of the proposals are contained in Annex 1.

The table of co-signatures by European administrations is provided in Annex 2[1].
