It is not clear why Class 2 operators must stay above 144 MHz, as

They may not want amateurs transmitting on a VHF-Low TV channel.

ISTR that most European countries dumped VHF-low channels many
years ago and that the UK dumped both VHF-Lo and Hi when they
went to the 625 line PAL colour system from the 405 line b/w system.

Perhaps someone "over there" can correct or update that info.
