In addition, the International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is currently in the process of revising the guidelines regarding static magnetic fields and time varying low frequency range fields on which the directive was originally based: these studies could confirm the need to set less stringent action and limit values than those set by the directive for low frequency fields.

Therefore they require different levels of protection and response at different times, i.e. versatile solutions.

exposure limit values are provided for current density for time-varying fields up to 1 Hz, to prevent effects on the cardiovascular and central nervous system,

People are affected to different degrees with a variable evolution over time.

There were three new market entrants, who varied in the proportion of European works in their broadcasting schedule (ranging from 17% to 76%).

1. Expresses its concern that the report has not adequately analyzed the causes of the structural crisis or the inappropriate policy-mix or appropriate counter-cyclical economic policy; notes also that structural measures - such as common management of productivity gains, shared responsibility for socially orientated employment dependent on social contracts or collective agreements, and reduction of working time linked to productivity gains - take time to show their positive effects while the current slowdown will negatively affect them as well as growth rates;
