b) that the reference situation for the analogue television, established by RRC-06, for the territories governed by the Stockholm 1961 (ST61) Agreement, coincides with the updated version of the ST61 Plan, as included in BR IFIC No. 2569 with a publication date 16 May 2006;
c) that the updated version of the ST61 Plan, as included in BR IFIC No. 2569, contains all frequency assignments successfully coordinated by 15 March 2006, which were communicated to the Radiocommunication Bureau by 15 March 2006, provided that the relevant information (e.g. TB3 notices or equivalent statements) has been provided to the Bureau by 21 April 2006;
d) the necessity for harmonizing the scopes of the ST61 Plan and the analogue television plan annexed to the Regional Agreement established by RRC-06,
