Harmful interference means any disturbance which poses a risk to the operation of a radionavigation service or other security services or which repeatedly degrades or obstructs or interrupts a radio communication service operating in accordance with applicable international, Community or national regulations.
The right to protection against harmful interference, caused by any other station or equipment, is given to holders authorized to use the public radio domain who use it under the conditions authorized in the corresponding title or, where appropriate, under the conditions established in the National Frequency Allocation Tableand have the authorisation for placing in service where required.
Requests for intervention in the event of harmful interference are submitted using the established model, including as much data as possible that can help identify the origin and characteristics of the interference. Complaints for interference will be dealt with by the Provincial Head of Telecommunications Inspection corresponding to the province in which the interference occurs.
When the person responsible for causing harmful interference knowingly causes such interference, it is considered deliberate interference for the purposes of the very serious infringement established in the General Telecommunications Law.
The statistics on radio interference reported are published periodically and have been analyzed, investigated and, where appropriate, resolved by the technical services of the Provincial Telecommunications Inspection Headquarters using the infrastructure of the Radio Emissions Technical Testing Network (Red CTER).
