For France. (Original: French) The French Delegation, on behalf of the Governments of France, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America, taking note of declaration No. 8 by the Delegation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, states that the said declaration contains an incomplete and therefore misleading reference to the Quadripartite Agreement. The relevant passage of that Agreement, to which the Soviet representative referred, stipulates that the ties between the Western Sectors of Berlin and the Federal Republic of Germany will be maintained and developed, taking into account that these sectors continue not to be a constituent part of the Federal Republic of Germany and not to be governed by it. FP – 1 – 80 – In addition, coordination with other government authorities responsible for the sound broadcasting frequencies used in the Western Sectors of Berlin and the submission to the International Frequency Registration Board of notices for the registration of frequencies have no bearing on matters of security or of status. The Federal Republic of Germany coordinates the frequencies and submits the notices for their registration on behalf of the Western Sectors of Berlin with the authorization of the Governments of the three powers concerned. With regard to the other statements made in this connection, States which are not parties to the Quadripartite Agreement are not qualified to give an authoritative interpretation of its provisions.
For France. With regard to the station Sud-Radio 819 kHz, the French authorities, in conjunction with the competent administrations for the Valleys of Andorra, will seek practical means of installing a directional antenna at the Sud-Radio station in order to reduce the radiation from that station in the directions of Warsaw (sector between azimuths 45° and 55°) and Rabat (sector between azimuths 210° and 225°). The Administrations concerned will carry out a bilateral study on these arrangements with a view to the desired coordination. The Administration of Syria cannot agree to the assignment of frequency 666 kHz to radio broadcasting transmitter in Greece with power 250 kW at night because it decreases the usable distance to the Syrian existing transmitter to 19 km. The Administration of Syria reserves the right to take all requisite action with respect to the transmitter to avoid prejudice to radio broadcasting and to the economic interests connected therewith. The Administration of Syria cannot agree to the assignment of frequency 954 kHz to Turkish station Trabzon which decreases the coverage area of the Syrian transmitter to 14 km with interference more than 100 dB. The Administration of Syria cannot agree with the harmful interference from Bulgarian high power transmitter working on frequency 747 kHz. The Administration of Syria requests the Administration of Bulgaria to make every effort to reduce the interference level. No. 8
For France. With regard to the assignment to France for Sarrelouis station (Europe I) 182 kHz, 2 000 kW, the French delegation wishes to state that the problem of substantial interference in the Sarrelouis station service area caused by the Oranienburg station in the German Democratic Republic has not been satisfactorily settled during the Conference. The countries interested in the use of this channel have agreed to continue to seek a solution after the Conference.
For France. Having taken cognizance of the statement No. 48 of the Delegation of the Kingdom of Morocco relating in particular to the frequencies 1 206 kHz and 1 377 kHz, the French Delegation enters full reservations with regard to the action its Administration might find necessary to take if the service areas of its Bordeaux and Lille transmitters should be reduced as a result of unilateral decisions by the Kingdom of Morocco. FP – 84 – Having taken cognizance of the statement No. 69 by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria relating to several frequencies. including that of the Paris station on 864 kHz, the French Delegation observes that the Bulgarian station included in the present Plan makes the largest contribution to interference with the Paris station, to which the frequency of 863 kHz was exclusively assigned under the Copenhagen Plan. The French Delegation accordingly reserves its Administration’s right to take all appropriate action to counteract the consequences of any unilateral decisions by the People’s Republic of Bulgaria.
For France. The Administration of France, faced with the imperative necessity of avoiding a reduction in the coverage area of its aeronautical radionavigation service, operating in accordance with the conditions laid down in No. 297 of the Radio Regulations, Geneva, 1959, cannot agree to the putting into service of the Yugoslav television station Ucka on the vision carrier frequency 217.25 Mc/s unless the maximum effective radiated power does not exceed 10 kW in the xxxxxx 000°-000°.
For France. (Original: French) In signing the Final Acts of the Regional Administrative Conference for the Planning of the Maritime Radionavigation Service (Radiobeacons) in the European Maritime Area (Geneva, 1985), the Delegation of France reserves its Government's right to take whatever action it may consider necessary to ensure the protection and proper operation of its maritime radionavigation service which uses the phase measurement multifrequency system. (Original: English) Recognizing the vital contribution made by maritime radiobeacons to safety at sea, the above-mentioned Contracting Members view with concern the decision of the Conference to defer the entry into force of the Agreement until 1992. There will therefore be a period of seven years before the new Frequency Plan for maritime radiobeacons can be implemented and during that period the beacons must continue to operate under the Paris Arrangement of 1951. The above-mentioned Contracting Members therefore urge all Contracting Members and the IFRB to do everything possible to preserve the integrity of the new Plan so that when it is brought into use maritime radiobeacons can continue to contribute to safety at sea in the European Maritime Area.
For France. (Original: French) In signing the Final Acts of this Conference, the Delegation of France declares that only part of the requirements it submitted have been met and that implementation of the decisions adopted by the Conference in this regard are likely to raise many difficulties. The French delegation therefore wishes to reserve its Government's right to take all appropriate action to ensure the protection and proper operation of its maritime mobile service after the date of entry into force of the Plan. (Original: English) Recognizing the vital contributions made by aeronautical radiobeacons and maritime communications to safety, the Delegations of the above-mentioned countries view with concern the decision of the Conference to defer the entry into force of the Agreement until 1992. There will therefore be a period of seven years before the new Frequency Plans for aeronautical radiobeacons and maritime communications can be implemented. The Delegations of the above-mentioned countries therefore urge all administrations in Region 1 and the IFRB to do everything possible to preserve the integrity of the new Plans so that when they are brought into use, aeronautical radiobeacons and maritime communications can continue to make their vital contributions to safety. (Original: English) The declarations made by certain delegations in No. 4 of the Final Protocol, being in flagrant contradiction with the principles and purposes of the International Telecommunication Union, and therefore void of any legal validity, the Government of Israel wishes to put on record that it rejects these declarations outright and will proceed on the assumption that they can have no validity regarding the rights and duties of any Member State of the International Telecommunication Union. In any case, the Government of Israel will avail itself of its right to safeguard its interests should the Governments of these delegations in any way violate any of the provisions of the Final Acts of the Regional Administrative Conference for the Planning of the MF Maritime Mobile and Aeronautical Radionavigation Services (Region 1) (Geneva, 1985). The Delegation of Israel further notes that declaration No. 4 does not refer to the State of Israel by its full and correct name. As such it is totally inadmissible and must be repudiated as a violation of recognized rules of international behaviour.
For France a Government Entity is either an agency; a minister; a commission, board, office, or council (national, regional, or local); a city; a region; or any entity subject to the French Public Law and under the administration of a government entity. 2.
