"Mr President, I would like to express my gratitude that the work of the Echelon committee has received such coverage in the Finnish media this evening. It is one of the major news stories of the day. I would also like to say to the Commissioner that we appear to have got into the habit of celebrating Tuesday evenings here together– all the usual suspects, as we are on these issues. It is almost a little absurd.
The rapporteur and the previous speakers have highlighted the significance of efficient use of the latest resource to be in short supply, namely frequencies. It is important that we have transparency in the use of these. As Mr Pohjamo said, it is also important to report the terms for the frequencies used. It should also be possible to reserve frequencies for services useful to society on special terms.
As has been mentioned, it is actually the institutional issues which are difficult. I personally am a little afraid that we may have worked a bit too quickly and that we are in the process of developing quite a few hierarchies. We talk about technical implementation provisions. We also talk about the political level and the mandates given to the CEPT. In other words, the system is quite complicated. Our group came up with a proposal for a call back procedure. However, I hope we agree that what in this context have been called technical implementation measures do not include technical matters. Otherwise, we would be moving much too far into the CEPT’s territory.
There are also certain other aspects which may need correcting tomorrow. There is still a proposal to send observers to the High Level Group. Parliament’s proposal refers to both a high level group and a committee. We simply cannot have both representation in a high level group and also a call-back procedure. That would be too much. We must look at how we can correct this before tomorrow."@en1
