EC Decision 2007/344/EC on harmonised availability of information regarding spectrum use within the European Community was published on the 16^th of May 2007 and entered into force on 1^st January 2008. In accordance with this EC Decision, Member States shall input into EFIS information about the use of radio spectrum on their territory.

In 2012, another mandate to CEPT was issued to further develop EFIS in relation to the RSPP (Radio Spectrum Policy Programme of the European Parliament and the Council as set out in 243/2012/EU). This mandate recognised the existing role of the ECO Frequency Information System (EFIS) and the potential to develop it in a way which would enable it to serve as a primary input to the spectrum inventory. - The following Commission Implementing Decision 2013/195/EU defines the practical arrangements, uniform formats and a methodology in relation to the spectrum inventory, in particular, that data should be made available by Member States through EFIS.
