lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, Parliament has reason today to be rather self-critical. As early as 11 April 2000, the Commission submitted its communication on Internet policy 1998 – 2000 and we know that the ICANN meeting in Melbourne was concluded yesterday. Mr Paasilinna, the Commissioner and I have had the privilege of being able to read newspapers which have reported something of what has supposedly taken place in Melbourne. If you log on to ICANN's own home page, you find only scanty details of what has actually happened. Has the putting of the domain names .bytes, .info and .pro into use been delayed? Is it true that a Norwegian company has got the top domain name? How are the negotiations going for the EU regarding our own top domain name? Many such questions remain unanswered, and it is amazing that there is nothing to read on the matter on the net. The Commission and the rapporteur correctly stress that openness is required in the administration. Even Mr Paasilinna said that there could be cause for criticism in this area. I also wonder what allies the Commission had in Melbourne. Did we have any representatives at the meeting? How representative can ICANN be considered to be? The same question was asked by Mr Paasilinna. I think that Parliament needs to take considerably greater advantage of the fact that the former Swedish Prime Minister, Carl Bildt, has been appointed to head a panel for the administration of ICANN. We therefore have good reason to be self-critical. We have reason to consider how, for one year, we have been able to delay the handling of this matter. We need to work more quickly. The report raises many other important issues, including those that were debated in preparation for the summit in Stockholm. Here, I would like to express my agreement with the words of praise directed at the Commissioner for pointing out how to launch the Europe programme, while at the same time the Finance Ministers are snatching away the basis for the same programme. I am extremely grateful that the Commission and other Member States want to raise this serious issue in Stockholm."@en1
