The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is the oldest governmental international organization, established in 1865, having become in 1947 a specialized agency of the United Nations. Portugal was one of the founding members of the ITU and has participated intensively in its work, having ratified all its instruments. Within the scope of activities of the ITU?s radiocommunications sector, regional conferences take place on a regular basis, dealing with specific radiocommunications issues of the regions concerned.
In 1985, a Regional Administrative Conference was held in Geneva in order to carry out the partial revision of the Regional Agreement concerning the planning of the broadcasting service in the VHF and UHF bands in the European broadcasting area (also known as the Stockholm Agreement, 1961.) At this Conference, the final acts that comprise the Protocol amending the Regional Agreement for the European Broadcasting Area, Stockholm (1961) were approved.
