2. An introduction to ECC PT1
Some History
ERC established ERC TG1 on UMTS/IMT-2000
(the group has held 17 meetings)
ECC PT1 developed major UMTS/IMT-2000 ECC deliverables implemented by most CEPT countries
ECC PT1 has been an active contributor to ITU-R TG 8/1, WP8F, WP5D and JTG 5-6 on IMT
1997
2000
2010
TG1 produced first ERC Decisions and developed responses to the first EC Mandates on UMTS
ERC PT1 held its 1st meeting in Mainz, Germany
ECC PT1 has held more than 35 meetings and continue addressing IMT matters

8. ECC PT1 Terms of Reference
ECC PT1 is responsible for the overall system aspects of IMT,
collaborating with WG Frequency Management on the IMT satellite elements.
In particular, ECC PT1 is mandated to:
Facilitate the development of IMT, both globally and at the CEPT level.
Consider the designation and frequency arrangements for spectrum, identified for IMT in the Radio Regulations.
Consider the sharing and compatibility issues in support of the work under item 2.
Co-ordinate positions on IMT for input to relevant ITU groups including the ITU process for the development of IMT-Advanced.
Contribute to or lead the preparation of responses to relevant EC Mandates related to IMT matters as appropriate.
Liaise with ETSI and other relevant bodies dealing with standardisation;
On request from CPG contribute to the preparation of CEPT positions for WRCs and other relevant fora.
Seek, where appropriate, contributions and assistance from and work collaboratively with relevant ECC subordinate bodies and the Office.

12. ECC PT1 input to the CEPT preparation for WRCs
ECC PT1 has contributed to the preparation of the European Common Proposals (ECPs) for the World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRCs) on the following Agenda Items:
WRC-2000:
1.6.1
1.6.2
WRC-2003:
1.22
1.33
1.34
WRC-2007:
1.4
1.9
review of spectrum and regulatory issues for advanced mobile applications in the context of IMT‑2000, noting that there is an urgent need to provide more spectrum for the terrestrial component of such applications, and priority should be given to terrestrial mobile spectrum needs, and adjustments to the Table of Frequency Allocations as necessary
identification of a global radio control channel to facilitate multimode terminal operation and worldwide roaming of IMT‑2000
to consider progress of ITU‑R studies concerning future development of IMT‑2000 and systems beyond IMT‑2000, in accordance with Resolution 228 (WRC‑2000)
to review the results of studies in response to Resolution 539 (WRC‑2000) concerning threshold values for non‑GSO BSS (sound) in the band 2 630‑2 655 MHz, and to take actions as required
to review and revise technical, operational and regulatory provisions, including provisional limits in relation to the operation of high altitude platform stations within IMT‑2000 in the bands referred to in No. 5.388, in response to Resolution 221 (WRC‑2000)
to consider frequency-related matters for the future development of IMT‑2000 and systems beyond IMT‑2000 taking into account the results of ITU‑R studies in accordance with Resolution 228 (Rev.WRC‑03)
to review the technical, operational and regulatory provisions applicable to the use of the band 2 500-2 690 MHz by space services in order to facilitate sharing with current and future terrestrial services without placing undue constraint on the services to which the band is allocated
