WRC Agenda item 1.3 Consider upgrading the radiolocation service to primary allocation status in the bands 9 000-9 200 MHz and 9 300-9 500 MHz Radar Group (CAA/MCA/MOD) The radiolocation service in the bands 9 000-9 200 MHz and 9 300-9 500 MHz shall be upgraded to primary status Footnote 5.476 shall be suppressed extending by up to 200 MHz the existing primary allocations to the Earth exploration-satellite service (EESS) (active) and the space research service (SRS) (active) in the band 9 500-9 800 MHz The band 9 300-9 500 MHz shall be allocated to the Earth Exploration-satellite service (active) and to the SRS (active) on a primary basis indicating that this extension is limited to EESS (active) and SRS (active) systems that need a band wider than the bandwidth available between 9 500-9 800 MHz The band 9 800-9 900 MHz shall additionally be allocated to the Earth exploration-satellite service (active) and to the space research service (active) on a primary basis, indicating that this extension is limited to Earth exploration-satellite service (active) and space research service (active) systems that need a bandwidth wider than the bandwidth available within 9 300-9 800 MHz. Footnote 5.476A shall be extended to cover also the bands 9 300-9 500 MHz and 9 800-9 900 MHz and the footnote text shall be modified accordingly.

WRC Agenda item 1.4 to consider frequency-related matters for the future development of IMT‑2000 and systems beyond IMT‑2000 Europe is proposing no change for allocations to services in RR Article 5 for the bands 410 - 430 MHz, 2300 - 2400 MHz, 2700 - 2900 MHz and 4400 - 4990 MHz.

WRC Agenda item 1.5 to consider spectrum requirements and possible additional spectrum allocations for aeronautical telecommand and high bit-rate aeronautical telemetry Europe supports at least 105 MHz additional spectrum requirements to satisfy wideband aeronautical mobile telemetry requirements above 3 GHz based on studies related to Aeronautical flight testing No secondary allocation to the mobile service in the frequency band 3 – 16 GHz has been identified for the implementation of wideband aeronautical telemetry and associated telecommand Due to successful results of sharing studies to accommodate spectrum requirements for telemetry, Europe supports a primary allocation to the aeronautical mobile service in the band 5091-5150 and 5150-5250 MHz for telemetry applications limited to those systems for which compatibility analyses have been completed by WRC-07 Due to the unavailability of the aeronautical technology it is assessed that the bands already allocated to mobile service above 16 GHz are not suitable for the short term telemetry and associated telecommand requirements

WRC Agenda item 1.6 to consider additional allocations for the aeronautical mobile (R) service in parts of the bands between 108 MHz and 6 GHz Europe proposes three new allocations (112-117.975 MHz, 960-1 164 MHz and 5 091-5 150 MHz) for the Aeronautical Mobile (R) Service on a primary basis and limited to systems that will operate in accordance with international aeronautical standards These allocations to be reviewed at WRC 2011 Europe also proposes one new allocation (5 091-5 150 MHz) for the Aeronautical Mobile Service on a primary basis and limited to aeronautical security applications to study current satellite frequency allocations, that will support the modernization of civil aviation telecommunication systems Suppress Resolution 415

WRC Agenda item 1.13 to review the allocations to all services in the HF bands between 4 MHz and 10 MHz, excluding those allocations to services in the frequency range 7 000-7 200 kHz and those bands whose allotment plans are in Appendices 25, 26 and 27 This sub-part addresses only the Resolution 351. It is proposed to modify the part A of Appendix 17 in order to reduce the actual frequencies for NBDP to the GMDSS requirement (see Appendix 15), to release the rest of the majority of the frequencies for the possible use for data transmission using digital technology (e.g. see Recommendation ITU-R M [HF DATA]) in the maritime mobile service, including the bands for Morse frequencies. In part B of Appendix 17 changes are proposed accordingly to part A. The section dealing with Morse frequencies are candidates for suppression due to the new utilisation proposed above. The spectrum remain available for the maritime mobile service. In part B Section I Radiotelephony, it is proposed to add a note authorizing the Administrations to notify assignments to stations in the maritime mobile service other than those using radiotelephony

WRC Agenda item 1.16 to consider the regulatory and operational provisions for Maritime Mobile Service Identities (MMSIs) for equipment other than shipborne mobile equipment) Europe proposes amendments to Article 19 of the Radio Regulations to allow for the assignment of MMSIs to search and rescue (SAR) aircrafts, aids to navigation and crafts associated with a parent ship.

WRC Agenda item 1.17 to consider the results of ITU-R studies on compatibility between the fixed-satellite service and other services around 1.4 GHz Europe proposes to suppress the provisional allocation to FSS in the 1.4 GHz band

WRC Agenda item 1.20 to consider the results of studies, and proposals for regulatory measures if appropriate regarding the protection of the EESS (passive) from unwanted emissions of active services Limit unwanted emissions of radiolocation stations in the band 1350 – 1400 MHz into the passive band 1400 – 1427 MHz to -29 dBW/27 MHz This is a mean power Applicability date of systems installed after 1st January 2015

WRC Agenda item 1.21 to consider the results of studies regarding the compatibility between the radio astronomy service and the active space services it is proposed to specify threshold limits for some bands where studies have concluded and included in the ITU-R Report SM.2091 that the RAS protection criteria may be met and that the limits would not unduly constrain the development of active services. These threshold levels should be incorporated in the update version of Annex of Resolution 739.

WRC Agenda item 7.2 Aviation Centric to consider results of ITU-R studies in accordance with Resolution 222 (Rev. WRC-07) to ensure spectrum availability and protection for the aeronautical mobile-satellite (R) service, and to take appropriate action on this subject, while retaining the generic allocation for the mobile-satellite service; to consider spectrum requirements and possible spectrum allocations to support remotely controlled air operation as well as payload radiocommunication applications of unmanned aerial systems based on the results of ITU-R studies to review the progress made regarding the development of new AM(R)S systems and the decisions made by WRC-07 concerning these AM(R)S systems, in accordance with Resolution

WRC Agenda item 7.2 Threats to Aviation to review the appropriateness of the international regulatory framework in accordance with Resolution 951 (Rev. WRC-07) and take appropriate action to consider a secondary allocation to the amateur service in parts of the frequency band 415 – 526.5 kHz to consider, in accordance with Resolution [EUR/10A25/10] (WRC-07) , the adequacy and possible improvement of the regulatory status and recognition of the increasingly essential role of Earth observation carried out in the Earth Exploration Satellite Service (active and passive), the Meteorological Satellite Service, the Meteorological Aids Service and Radiolocation Service to consider spectrum requirements and a global allocation to support cognitive radio systems in the context of heterogeneous radio networks environment to consider requirements for new applications in the radiolocation service and review allocations or regulatory provisions for implementation of the radiolocation service in the 30-300 MHz frequency range band, specifically in the 150-173 MHz frequency band
