lpv:translated text	"This report is about a proposal for a regulation on the Internet Top Level Domain ‘.EU’. The Commission proposal is a response to the instructions of the Lisbon Council (23–24 March 2000). The Stockholm Council (23–24 March 2001) confirmed that "the Council will take the necessary measures, together with the Commission, to ensure that the .EU top-level domain is available to users as soon as possible." This wording may sound a little far-fetched and need some explanation. The regulation is meant to be a general act laying down a framework for the creation of an ‘.EU’ registry. This registry should enter into contracts both with the Commission and with ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Let me remind you that ICANN was created in October 1998 in order to stand up to American hegemony in Internet running. This private, non-profit-making company is concerned with four key Internet sectors, including DNS (domain name systems) and allocating Internet Protocol addresses. ICANN has a Policy Advisory Board of 19 members. Its external directors and members are appointed on a geographically balanced basis. ICANN also has four advisory committees, including the GAC (Governmental Advisory Committee) to which the European Commission and the Member States belong. To my great satisfaction, the European Union has decided to devote more attention to this body so as to play a decisive part in the international running of the Internet and to make ICANN more neutral. In the same context, if the European Union wishes to exist in cyberspace, it will have to create a domain name like its Member States. Then the national territories will be able to recognise each other on the Internet by means of domain names such as ‘.uk’ or ‘.be’. That would certainly be a factor in speeding up the development of the e-economy and e-commerce in Europe. I therefore felt it important to endorse the good work done by the rapporteur."@en1
