Mission statement

The Committee for ITU Policy (Com-ITU) is responsible for organising the CEPT’s engagement with the ITU for all activities except World Radiocommunication Conferences.

The committee co-ordinates its members’ positions for the Plenipotentiary Conferences (PP), World Telecommunication Development Conferences (WTDC), World Telecommunication Standardisation Assemblies (WTSA), and various other meetings.

The committee also plays an important role in communicating the CEPT’s views directly to the ITU Council, whose membership is just a part of the ITU membership as a whole.

Com-ITU normally establishes sub-groups specific to each meeting to prepare European positions and common proposals. The degree of commonality of approach amongst members depends upon the issue concerned, and the optimum balance required between individual member states.

Com-ITU also interacts with the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) on general ITU - matters such as the budget.
