Allocation of frequency bands Section 2 (1) The allocation of frequency bands, that is their entry into the National Table of Frequency Allocations (hereinafter referred to as NTFA) (into the Table, the footnotes and the annexes) specifies the operation of radio services in both their international and national environments. (2) Annex 2 contains the table of the international and national frequency allocations (hereinafter referred to as Table). (3) The Table establishes: a) the international allocation of frequency bands to radio services in the separate Regions, according to the Radio Regulations (hereinafter referred to as RR); and Administrative regulations complementing the Constitution and Convention of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) [promulgated in Hungary with the Government Decree No. 191/1997 (XI.4.)Korm.].

2 b) the national allocation of frequency bands to radio services and for civil, non-civil and common use. Section 3 (1) The first three columns in the International Allocation part of the Table present, as per the RR, the frequency allocations valid in the three Regions (introduced in Annex 3), thus also in Hungary that belongs to Region 1. These columns establish the allocated radio services according to their respective category of service for each frequency band and the reference numbers of the international footnotes containing the conditions for the use of frequencies (in particular: use of frequencies different from the radio services entered into the Table, limitations, technical requirements, traffic and procedural provisions). (2) The international footnotes are listed in Annex 4 beginning with the number 5.53 in accordance with the numbering in the RR. (3) The fourth column in the International Allocation part of the Table establishes the radio services according to their respective category of service that may be operated in the territory of Hungary under the conditions specified in this decree and other legal rules and the requirements pertinent to the use of frequencies in Hungary, specified by the international footnotes, according to the RR. (4) Radio applications of radio services operating in accordance with the international allocation relevant to Hungary are entitled to protection from interference on an international level, according to their respective category of service. Section 4 (1) The second part of the Table headed Allocation in Hungary establishes the frequency bands allocated in the territory of Hungary to the different radio services for non-civil, civil and common use, according to their respective category of service as well as references to relevant international footnotes and national footnotes specifying realisable radio applications in these bands and further conditions. (2) The national footnotes are denoted by a capital H. (3) The national footnotes are listed in Annex 5.

3 (4) According to this decree, in the territory of Hungary the frequency bands allocated to the maritime mobile service are also allocated to the inland waterway mobile service. In the territory of Hungary, the validity of the maritime mobile service as defined in the RR extends to the inland waterways as well. Section 5 (1) In the frequency bands allocated to the radio services listed in the column of the Table headed Non-civil, users specified in a separate legal rule and falling under the competence of the frequency management related to non-civil use as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (hereinafter referred to as NATO) and the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty, and other participant states of the Partnership for Peace may request or use frequencies under the conditions specified in the AoEC, this decree and other legal rules. (2) In the frequency bands allocated to the radio services listed in the column of the Table headed Civil, any natural or legal person, company or other organisation having no legal personality may request or use frequencies under the conditions specified in the AoEC, this decree and other legal rules, with the exception of those named in subsection (1). (3) The civil and non-civil frequency management authorities may mutually request frequencies from the frequency bands allocated for non-civil or civil use, for defence, national security, governmental, public safety, administrative and other purposes of public interest in connection with unpredictable events, cases or purposes for temporary, time limited use by their respective customers requesting a frequency assignment. (4) In the cases referred to in subsection (3) mutual understanding between the civil and the non-civil frequency management authorities shall be required for the use of frequencies. (5) The radio applications operating in the frequency bands identified in the column of the Table headed Civil may also be used by users falling under the competence of the frequency management related to non-civil use, provided that, according to a separate legal rule, the equipment used by the application may be operated without an individual radio licence. (6) The use of frequencies in Hungary by the armed forces of the NATO, the member states of the North Atlantic Treaty and other participant states of the Partnership for Peace, related to military activities shall be considered non-civil, that related to providing programme services shall be considered civil.

4 (7) The frequency bands allocated to the radio services listed in the column of the Table headed Common may be used both for civil and non-civil purposes. In these bands, frequency assignments and putting radio stations of radio applications in operation shall be subject to an agreement and/or successful coordination between the non-civil and the civil frequency management authorities. Section 6 (1) The category of service established by the Table may be primary or secondary in the context of the operation of the radio station of a given radio service and its protection from interference. In the Table, the names of primary services are printed in capitals, whereas those of the secondary services are printed in normal characters. (2) Radio stations of a primary radio service: a) shall not cause harmful interference to radio stations of the same or other primary radio service(s) to which frequencies are already assigned; b) cannot claim protection from harmful interference from radio stations of the same or other primary radio service(s) to which frequencies are already assigned. (3) Radio stations of a secondary radio service: a) shall not cause harmful interference to radio stations of primary radio services to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; b) cannot claim protection from harmful interference from radio stations of a primary radio service to which frequencies are already assigned or to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date; c) can claim protection from harmful interference from radio stations of the same or other secondary radio service(s) to which frequencies may be assigned at a later date. (4) In the international allocation of frequency bands, protection from interference or limitation of use with regard to causing interference is established for the user by the category of service on an international level. (5) In the national allocation of frequency bands, protection from interference or limitation of use with regard to causing interference is established for the user by the category of service (that in some cases might be different from the RR) on a national level. (6) In the frequency bands specified in the national footnotes of the Table, radio applications may operate on a tertiary basis even independently of the radio service classification. Radio stations of such radio applications: a) shall not cause harmful interference to radio stations of primary and secondary radio services;

5 b) cannot claim protection from harmful interference from radio stations of any radio service or radio application. Section 7 When applying the decree, both the entries and the footnotes of a given box of the Table shall be considered, taking into account that the provision of a given international or national footnote: a) applies solely to a given radio service when the footnote is entered into the Table along with that radio service or b) may apply to any radio service in the given box of the Table or to the given frequency band when the footnote is entered at the bottom of that box, directly above the line limiting the respective frequency band. Use of frequency bands Section 8 The national footnotes specify the radio applications realisable in a given part of a frequency band, the available frequency bands (or frequencies), and the possibilities, conditions and duration of the use of a frequency band (or a frequency), in accordance with the provisions of the AoEC. The footnotes contain the references to international agreements or documents according to which the given radio application has been introduced or may be introduced in Hungary. be Section 9 (1) In the national footnotes of the Table, a given frequency band (or frequency) may a) assignable, b) reserved, c) planned, or d) envisaged, in terms of the possibilities of putting into use by an applicable radio application (radiocommunication system or equipment group) of the given band (or the given frequency).
