In Article 2 of Decision 2006/771/EC, the following point is added: ‘3. “category of short-range devices” means a group of short-range devices that use spectrum with similar technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios’
Article 3 of Decision 2006/771/EC is replaced by the following. ‘Article 3 1. Member States shall designate and make available, on a non-exclusive, non-interference and non-protected basis, the frequency bands for the categories of short-range devices, subject to the specific conditions and by the implementation deadline, as laid down in the Annex to this Decision. 2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, Member States may request the benefit of Article 4(5) of the Radio Spectrum Decision. 3. This Decision is without prejudice to the right of Member States to allow the use of the frequency bands under less restrictive conditions or for short-range devices which are not part of the harmonised category provided that this does not prevent or reduce the possibility for short-range devices of such a category to rely on the appropriate set of harmonised technical and operational conditions, as specified in the Annex to this Decision, which allow the shared use of a specific part of the spectrum on a non-exclusive basis and for different purposes by short range devices of the same category.’
The Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Decision.
Decision 2005/928/EC is repealed.
Member States shall report to the Commission on the implementation of this Decision no later than 1 September 2014.

( 2 ) As defined in Article 2(3). ( 3 ) Member States must allow the usage of spectrum up to the transmit power, field strength or power density given in this table. In accordance with Article 3(3), they may impose less restrictive conditions, i.e. allow the use of spectrum with higher transmit power, field strength or power density, provided that this does not reduce or compromise the appropriate coexistence between short-range devices in bands harmonised by this Decision. ( 4 ) Member States may only impose these “additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)”, and shall not add other parameters or spectrum access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3) mean that Member States may completely omit the “additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules)” in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised. ( 5 ) Member States may only impose these “other usage restrictions” and shall not add additional usage restrictions. As less restrictive conditions may be introduced within the meaning of Article 3(3), Member States may omit one or all of these restrictions, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised. ( 6 ) “Duty cycle” means the ratio of time during any one-hour period when a single device is actively transmitting. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3) mean that Member States may allow a higher value for “duty cycle”.
