The Kingdom of the Netherlands, for the Kingdom in Europe, declares that it will apply
the revision of the Radio Regulations adopted at this Conference in accordance with
their obligations under the EC Treaty.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands regrets that this Conference was unable to agree to
any allocation of additional spectrum for high-frequency broadcasting to help address
the long-standing inadequacy of spectrum in the 4-10 MHz range referenced in Resolution
544 (WRC-03).
This Conference presented a genuine opportunity to meet this need based on comprehensive
ITU-R studies and pragmatic balanced proposals that took into account all of the radio
services concerned.
The Netherlands authorities reserve the right to take such action as may be necessary,
consistent with the Radio Regulations, to meet the needs of their high-frequency broadcasting
services.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands, referring to the declaration made by the Republic
of Colombia (No. 74), inasmuch as these and any similar statements refer to the Bogota
Declaration of 3 December 1976 made by equatorial countries and to claims of those
countries to exercise sovereign rights over segments of the geostationary-satellite
orbit, and to any related claims, considers that the claims in question cannot be
recognized by this Conference.
The Kingdom of the Netherlands also wishes to state that reference in Article 44 of
the Constitution to the "geographical situation of particular countries" does not
imply recognition of a claim to any preferential rights to the geostationary-satellite
orbit.
