Recommendation T/R 61-01 (Nice 1985, Paris 1992, August 1992, Nicosia 2003)

CEPT RADIO AMATEUR LICENCE

Recommendation proposed by the ''Radio Regulatory'' Working Group (RR)

Text of the Recommendation adopted by the "Electronic Communications
Committee" (ECC):

INTRODUCTION

The Recommendation as approved in 1985 makes it possible for radio
amateurs from CEPT countries to operate during short visits in other
CEPT countries without obtaining an individual temporary licence from
the visited CEPT country. Good experience with this system is gained.

The Recommendation as revised in 1992 has the aim to make it possible
for non-CEPT countries to participate in this licensing system. The
appropriate provisions for this are found mainly in the new Appendices
III and IV. The original Recommendation had to be adapted slightly,
but it retains the same applicability within CEPT as before.

The Recommendation as revised in 2003 reflects the outcome of WRC-03
concerning Article 25 of the ITU Radio Regulations. The mandatory
Morse code requirement has been removed and the number of amateur
classes has been reduced from two to one.


"The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications
Administrations,

considering

a) that the Amateur Service and Amateur Satellite Service are
Radiocommunications Services according to Article 1 of the ITU Radio
Regulations and governed by other provisions of the ITU Radio
Regulations as well as national regulations,

b) that it is necessary to harmonise licensing procedures for
temporary use of radio amateur stations in CEPT countries and non-CEPT
countries,

c) that Administrations are responsible, in accordance with Article 25
of the ITU Radio Regulations to verify the operational and technical
qualifications of any person wishing to operate an amateur station.

d) that in accordance with Article 25 of the ITU Radio Regulations
(rev WRC-03), administrations shall determine whether or not a person
seeking a licence to operate an amateur station shall demonstrate the
ability to send and receive texts in Morse code signals;

e) that the ability to send and receive texts in Morse code signals is
not required for the purpose of this Recommendation;
f) that the issue and administration of temporary licences to foreign
visitors based on bilateral agreements involves a considerable
increase in work for Administrations,

g) that the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) supports the
simplification of procedures to obtain temporary operational
privileges for foreign visitors in CEPT countries and in other
countries,

noting that

this Recommendation bears no relation to the import and export of
amateur radio equipment, which is subject only to relevant customs
regulations,

noting further that

despite the procedures of this Recommendation, Administrations always
have the right to require separate bilateral agreements when
recognising the radio amateur licences issued by foreign
Administrations,

recommends

1) that CEPT member Administrations recognise the principle of the
CEPT radio amateur licence issued under the conditions specified in
Appendices I and II, on which the Administrations of the countries
visited will not levy administrative charges or spectrum fees.

2) that Administrations, not being members of CEPT, accepting the
provisions of this Recommendation, may apply for participation in
accordance with the conditions laid down in Appendices III and IV".

Recommendations





Appendix I

GENERAL CONDITIONS FOR THE ISSUE OF THE
"CEPT RADIO AMATEUR LICENCE"

1. GENERAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO "CEPT RADIO AMATEUR LICENCE"

The ''CEPT radio amateur licence" can be included in the national
licence or be a special document issued by the same authority, and
will be drafted in the national language and in German, English and
French; it will be valid for non-residents only, for the duration of
their temporary stays in countries having adopted the Recommendation,
and within the limit of validity of the national licence. Radio
amateurs holding a temporary licence issued in a foreign country may
not benefit from the provisions of the Recommendation.

The minimum requirements for a "CEPT radio amateur licence'' will be:

i) indication that the document is a CEPT amateur licence;
ii) a declaration according to which the holder is authorised to
utilise an amateur radio station in accordance with this
Recommendation in countries where the latter applies;
iii) the name and address of the holder;
iv) the call sign;
v) the validity;
vi) the issuing authority.

A list may be added or provided indicating the Administrations
applying the Recommendation.

The CEPT Licence permits utilisation of all frequency bands allocated
to the Amateur Service and Amateur Satellite Service and authorised in
the country where the amateur station is to be operated.
2. CONDITIONS OF UTILISATION

2.1 On request the licence holder shall present his CEPT radio amateur
licence to the appropriate authorities in the country visited.

2.2 The licence holder shall observe the provisions of the ITU Radio
Regulations, this Recommendation and the regulations in force in the
country visited. Furthermore, any restrictions concerning national and
local conditions of a technical nature or regarding the public
authorities must be respected. Special attention should be paid to the
difference in frequency allocations to the radio amateur services in
the three ITU Regions.

2.3 When transmitting in the visited country the licence holder must
use his national call sign preceded by the call sign prefix of the
visited country as indicated in Appendices II and IV. The call sign
prefix and the national call sign must be separated by the character
"/" (telegraphy) or the word "stroke" (telephony).

2.4 The licence holder cannot request protection against harmful
interference.


3. EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THE CEPT LICENCE AND NATIONAL LICENCES

3.1 The equivalence between the CEPT licence and national licences in
CEPT countries is given in Appendix II.
