5. CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES
5.1. Need to be met in the short or long term
Short-term: selection and authorisation of mobile satellite system operators to provide pan-European services; long-term: actual availability of pan-European mobile satellite services.
5.2. Value added by Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergy
Community involvement will ensure a coherent selection outcome across the Community as well as prevent fragmentation of the internal market.
5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM framework
By facilitating the deployment of pan-European mobile satellite services, the proposal is expected to contribute to expansion of geographical coverage of broadband in line with the i2010 initiative as well as to enhancement of the competitiveness of European information and communication technology industries in line with the objectives of the renewed Lisbon strategy.
The main expected results are the following:
1) selection and authorisation of approximately 2-3 mobile satellite system operators to provide pan-European services using the 2 GHz radio spectrum at the end of 2008 – beginning of 2009;
2) actual availability to European consumers and enterprises of pan-European mobile satellite services, including high-speed internet access, mobile multimedia, public protection and disaster relief, starting in approximately 2011.
5.4. Method of Implementation (indicative)
( Centralised management
( directly by the Commission
( indirectly by delegation to:
( executive Agencies
( bodies set up by the Communities as referred to in Art. 185 of the Financial Regulation
( national public-sector bodies/bodies with public-service mission
( Shared or decentralised management
( with Member States
( with third countries
( Joint management with international organisations (please specify)
Relevant comments:
Selection of mobile satellite system operators will be carried out by the Commission through comitology procedures and, if needed, with the assistance of external experts.
Authorisation of the selected mobile satellite system operators will be carried out by competent authorities of Member States.
6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION
6.1. Monitoring system
The proposal provides for regular monitoring by competent authorities of Member States of compliance by authorised mobile satellite system operators with the conditions of authorisations, including progress towards fully operational systems. Information collected as a result of such monitoring shall be presented to the Commission.
6.2. Evaluation
6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluation
Not applicable.
6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)
Not applicable.
6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluation
An evaluation is foreseen upon finalisation of selection and authorisation of mobile satellite system operators.
7. Anti-fraud measures
Transparent procedures shall be used for appointment of external experts by the Commission.
8. DETAILS OF RESOURCES
8.1. Objectives of the proposal in terms of their financial cost
The financial cost has been calculated on the basis of the appointment by the Commission of a selection panel consisting of five experts working in Brussels for two 5-day periods (compensation of travel expenses being equal to €520 per expert per period, daily allowance being equal to €200 per expert and expert fee being equal to €700 per expert per day).
