lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like to thank Mrs Niebler for her excellent report. The radio spectrum has become a central means of communication, bringing with it money and power. With no standardised allocation procedures, we all know the result of the third generation mobile phone deals – one company in the sector is currently going bankrupt every week. In some Member States there were no charges at all, while others used hybrid systems. The result of all this is a confused situation, not to mention unemployment. This was supposed to give us a cutting edge in global competition. Because radio waves transcend borders, it is clear that we need common European principles to administer them since, to put it bluntly, fifteen different interpretations of the same thing is a barrier to marketing. The Electronic Europe strategy demands that everyone should be included on equal terms. This makes things considerably more difficult and conflict must be removed. At the same time, cultural diversity should be encouraged and in this regard I mean, for example, public radio broadcasting, which must be given the necessary frequencies. I approve of this kind of political decision making but when deciding on commercial issues we have to have a level playing field with the same procedure, whether this be auction or some other procedure, throughout the whole of Europe so that the system does not end up on the verge of collapse as it is now. For this reason I support Amendments Nos 22 and 23 and Mrs Mann’s oral amendment. I think that this will see us achieve a balance in these sub-areas and gain an understanding of what is important and what is business."@en1
