   Other Official Committees

In 2010, EETT participated in the operations of the following EU Committees and Groups, contributing in the shaping of European developments:

  • Forum of European Supervisory Authorities for Electronic Signatures (FESA): The purpose of the forum is the collaboration between the competent bodies, the exchange of views, and the development of common positions on issues arising from the implementation of Electronic Signatures.
  • Working Group Frequency Management (WGFM): This is a working group of the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) responsible for frequency management at the level of CEPT members. WGFM issues special regulatory provisions (decisions, recommendations and reports) on all matters regarding frequency management, such as fixed, mobile and satellite services, broadband services, short-range devices, ultra-wideband devices and new technologies for the use of radiofrequencies.
  • Radio Spectrum Committee (RSC): It was formed pursuant a European Commission Decision in order to determine harmonized conditions for the availability and effective use of the radio spectrum. These conditions are indispensable in establishing and operating the internal market in community policy sectors such as Electronic Communications, Transport and Research and Development.
  • Participation in the joint one-day conference of RSPGBEREC: In November 2010, the Radio Spectrum Policy Groups (RSPG) and the Body of European Regulators of Electronic Communications (BEREC) organized a joint one-day conference, with the participation of EETT. The aim of the conference was to facilitate the exchange of views between the National Regulatory Authorities regarding the impact of the proposed Radio Spectrum Policy Program (RSPP) on the main sectors relevant to RSPG and BEREC and especially on the effective use of the radio spectrum, market development and competition.
  • Telecommunications Conformity Assessment and Market Surveillance Committee (TCAM): It was established in order to assist the European Commission and deliver opinions on issues relating to the implementation of Directive 1999/5/EC on Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (RTTE) and, where appropriate, publish guidelines on particular issues.
  • Administrative Cooperation Group (ADCO): Its main responsibility is to support actions towards a common approach to the problems involved in monitoring the RTTE market.
