Article 1 
The purpose of this Decision is to allow the use of the radio spectrum by equipment using ultra-wideband technology and to harmonise the conditions of such use in the Community.
This Decision shall apply without prejudice to Directive 1999/5/EC (the R&TTE Directive) and to any Community provisions allowing use of the radio spectrum by specific types of equipment using ultra-wideband technology.
Article 2 
For the purposes of this Decision:

1.. ‘equipment using ultra-wideband technology’ means equipment incorporating, as an integral part or as an accessory, technology for short-range radiocommunication, involving the intentional generation and transmission of radio-frequency energy that spreads over a frequency range wider than 50 MHz, which may overlap several frequency bands allocated to radiocommunication services;
2.. ‘non-interference and non-protected basis’ means that no harmful interference may be caused to any radiocommunication service and that no claim may be made for protection of these devices against harmful interference originating from radiocommunication services;
3.. ‘indoors’ means inside buildings or places in which the shielding will typically provide the necessary attenuation to protect radiocommunication services against harmful interference;
4.. ‘automotive vehicle’ means any vehicle as defined by Council Directive 70/156/EEC;
5.. ‘railway vehicle’ means any vehicle as defined by Regulation (EC) No 91/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council;
6.. ‘e.i.r.p.’ means equivalent isotropic radiated power;
7.. ‘mean e.i.r.p. density’ means the mean power measured with a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth, a root-mean-square (RMS) detector and an averaging time of 1 ms or less;
8.. ‘peak e.i.r.p. density’ means the peak level of transmission contained within a 50 MHz bandwidth centred on the frequency at which the highest mean radiated power occurs. If measured in a bandwidth of x MHz, this level is to be scaled down by a factor of 20log(50/x)dB;
9.. ‘maximum e.i.r.p. density’ means the highest signal strength measured in any direction at any frequency within the defined range.
Article 3 
The Member States shall, as early as possible and no later than six months following the entry into force of this Decision, allow the use of the radio spectrum on a non-interference and non-protected basis by equipment using ultra-wideband technology provided that such equipment meets the conditions set out in the Annex to this Decision and it is either used indoors or, if it is used outdoors, it is not attached to a fixed installation, a fixed infrastructure, a fixed outdoor antenna, or an automotive or railway vehicle.
Article 4 
Member States shall keep the use of the bands identified in the Annex by equipment using ultra-wideband technology under scrutiny, in particular with regard to the continued relevance of all the conditions specified in Article 3, and report their findings to the Commission to allow a timely review of this Decision.
Article 5 
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Below 1,6 -90,0 -50,0
1,6 to 3,4 -85,0 -45,0
3,4 to 3,8 -85,0 -45,0
3,8 to 4,2 -70,0 -30,0
4,2 to 4,8 -41,3(until 31 December 2010) 0,0(until 31 December 2010)
-70,0(beyond 31 December 2010) -30,0(beyond 31 December 2010)
4,8 to 6,0 -70,0 -30,0
6,0 to 8,5 -41,3 0,0
8,5 to 10,6 -65,0 -25,0
Above 10,6 -85,0 -45,0

2. 
A maximum mean e.i.r.p. density of – 41,3 dBm/MHz is allowed in the 3,4 to 4,8 GHz bands provided that a low duty cycle restriction is applied in which the sum of all transmitted signals is less than 5 % of the time each second and less than 0,5 % of the time each hour, and provided that each transmitted signal does not exceed 5 milliseconds.

Equipment using ultra-wideband technology may also be allowed to use the radio spectrum with e.i.r.p. limits other than those set out in the table in point 1 provided that appropriate mitigation techniques other than those set out in the first sub-paragraph are applied with the result that the equipment achieves at least an equivalent level of protection to that provided by the limits in the table set out in point 1.
