Today, Estonian legislation may well become an acceptable example of an effective mechanism for legal regulation of activities in the field of licensing the use of radio frequencies [1,112].
In particular, on the basis of § 8. "Management of radio frequencies" Electronic Communications Act (Passed 08.12.2004 RT I 2004, 87, 593 Entry into force 01.01.2005) [2] "(2) Radio frequency management consists of international and national planning radio frequency bands, coordinating radio frequencies and organizing the use of radio frequencies, publishing and updating information on the rights and conditions associated with the use of radio frequencies and exercising supervision in accordance with international agreements and this Law. The management of radio frequencies is based on objective, transparent, non-discriminatory and proportional criteria, taking into account, inter alia, economic, security, public and public interests, freedom of expression, cultural, scientific, social and technical aspects of the European Union, and taking into account the various interests of users radio frequencies ".
Let's consider other coordination norms of this law.
Based on § 13. Processing of applications for frequency authorizations and grant of frequency authorizations. (3) Prior to granting a frequency permit for the provision of air traffic services by radio, navigation or surveillance equipment, or for the use of other radiocommunication services in a given frequency band, if such use may affect flight safety, the Technical Supervisory Authority shall submit the frequency permit conditions for approval. frequency coordinator of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Estonia.
As stated in § 14. Refusal to grant a frequency authorization is possible in cases where, 9) the use of radio frequencies not approved in the course of international coordination, or 10) the state fee has not been paid.
By virtue of § 17 Transfer of right to use radio frequencies and grant for use on the basis of contract for use. (8) The Technical Supervision Authority may, if necessary, coordinate the transfer of the right to use radio frequencies or the granting of the right to use on the basis of a contract for use with the Competition Authority. The technical supervisor has the right to refuse to transfer the right to use radio frequencies or to grant the right to use on the basis of a use contract if it distorts competition.
From § 21. Use of radio frequencies for national defense purposes it follows: (1) The procedure and technical requirements for the use of radio frequencies allocated for (2) The establishment of technical requirements specified in part 1 of this article is based on the following: 1) the needs of the defense forces Estonia in the use of radio frequencies; 2) international agreements, including coordination agreements.
Thus, Estonian legislation has successfully used coordination mechanisms to regulate licensing activities.
