● Private and public persons may submit applications to ART, provided that legislation and regulations allow them
to do so.
● Applications will be processed in a simplified way, in the spirit of the new "Authorisation" Directive.
● ART will send completed applications to the Ministry of Defence. The Ministry will then check that the projects
are not located near any sensitive area and that they are not likely to cause disruptions to military equipment. For
each application, ART will then submit its report and the draft authorisation to the Minister of
Telecommunications.
● Applications can be sent from 12 November 2002 so that the first experiments may be launched as soon as early
2003. Full reviews are to be sent to ART at the end of the temporary authorisations to determine whether the
technology guarantees quality and security to users.
