- de tekst van Recommendation No. 3: INTERPRETATION OF THE TERM "HARMFUL INTERFERENCE" IN THE CASE OF THE MF BROADCASTING SERVICE IN REGION 2

luidt als volgt:

"The Regional Administrative MF Broadcasting Conference, (Region 2), Rio de Janeiro, 1981,

Noting

that the definition of harmful interference given in Article 1 of the Agreement states, in part, that "Interference which seriously degrades, obstructs or repeatedly interrupts a radiocommunication service";

Considering

a) that the broadcasting service is the only ready means of communication to the general public in the event of abnormal situations such as highway closures, severe weather conditions or other situations of which the public should be urgently informed;

b) that safety of life may well be involved in the event of existing or imminent emergencies including natural disasters such as hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, forest fires, or tidal waves, and other disasters such as the escape of toxic chemicals or imminent explosion;

c) that the degradation, obstruction or repeated interruption of satisfactory reception within the protected contour of a broadcasting station is harmful to the interests of the administration concerned, to the station to which the assignment belongs and to the public;

d) that harmful interference can be experienced within the broadcasting service;

Recommends that the IFRB

should consider harmful interference to be the same level of interference as "objectionable interference" as defined in Annex 2 to the Agreement in interpreting the term "harmful interference" in the application of the Radio Regulations to the MF Broadcasting Service in Region 2.".
