COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2025/105
of 22 January 2025
2025/105
(9)
The Commission, in its Communication of 26 September 2012 to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions (5), recognised cultural and creative industries as one of Europe’s most dynamic economic sectors and an essential driver of cultural diversity in Europe. In particular, Article 8(5) of Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), stresses the importance of PMSE and requires Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, to seek to ensure the necessary frequency bands for such equipment, in accordance with the Union’s objectives to improve the integration of the internal market and access to culture.
(10)
The requirements for social and cultural events will often exceed the amount of 32,3 MHz available in the 800 MHz and 1 800 MHz frequency bands. Since the spectrum requirements for audio PMSE use vary significantly, there is a need to ensure at Union level the availability of at least 62,3 MHz of sustainable spectrum to meet recurring ordinary needs for users of audio PMSE devices.
(11)
The additional amount of at least 30 MHz of spectrum to meet possible demand for audio PMSE applications at social and cultural events should be selected from tuning ranges to be decided by Member States, preferably in the 470-790 MHz spectrum range.
