In order to complement the information already sent, Republic of Estonia hereby provides the Commission with detailed information about local measures granting exemptions from the Article 6(10) of the Regulation as a number of frequency assignments in Estonia will be retained on the 25 kHz channel spacing after 31 December 2018 due to local measures as well as to accommodate State aircrafts. We also wish to clarify the date of exemption from the Article 6(10) of the Regulation stated in the attachment - the date 02/01/2020 is 2 days overdue from the exemption date 31/12/2019 stated in the letter sent by the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications at 12 April 2017 as we wish to align the conversion dates with AIRAC dates.
