agreements apply over a long time-frame, European interests must be safeguarded and agendas ‘future-proofed’ to address spectrum requirements of important policies. Beyond electronic communications, relevant EU policies include sustainable development and climate change. The legislator seeks more EU coordination in international spectrum negotiations.

6.3.Conclusion on follow-up impact assessments

As follow-up measures of significant impact must have separate impact assessments, the IA already lists follow-up measures for which an IA is obviously needed.

A communication is planned on collective spectrum use. Once more information is available, an IA will be drafted to accompany further measures on authorisations and collective spectrum use.

Technical harmonisation measures were not subject to IAs in the past. The RSPP might require such measures for specific types of spectrum use, whichwould be subject to an IA if their impact is sufficiently significant and if the decision making process (involvingstakeholders, CEPT, RSPG and Radio Spectrum Committee) does not sufficiently justify the measure.

Where option 2 is chosen, the need for further IA will be examined based on Commission guidelines and on preparatory work and identification of the form of possible action.
7.Monitoring and evaluation

Given the RSPP general strategic nature, evaluation and monitoring should equally remain at general strategic level. Further concrete measures to be adopted following the RSPP will be evaluated individually in due course.

Monitoring specific EU policy indicators will benefit from more detailed evaluation in individual sectoral policy initiatives e.g. in energy efficiency, space policy or Digital Agenda.

In cooperation with RSPG, the Commission will also monitor whether technological and regulatory national and international developments influencespectrum demand and use.
