". – The adoption of the regulation to make the .eu top level domain a reality is now reaching its final stage. I would like to express my thanks, particularly to the rapporteur, Mrs Flesch, for her sustained efforts to reach a compromise. I wish also to thank, in particular, Mrs McCarthy and Mr Harbour and also Mr Carraro. Their understanding of some of the complexities raised by this initiative has contributed significantly to the outcome we are discussing today. It is my pleasure to indicate that the Commission can accept the compromise amendments from 7 to 12. Several of the amendments proposed introduce useful additional clarifications to the provisions of the common position.
The Commission can support the amendment relating to the examination of the first-come, first-served method amongst the existing options when defining the registration policy and within the boundaries of the regulation's framework. It can also support the amendment introducing the cost-recovery principle in the policy relating to the extra-judicial settlement of conflicts. The most complex issue to address was without doubt the type of committee and procedure to select for this Regulation. The Commission can accept Amendments 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
With respect to Amendment 6 of the recommendation for second reading, as adopted by the Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy Committee, the Commission cannot support the amendment to Article 8. However, in the light of Parliament's concern over the implementation of the .eu top level domain, the Commission wishes to state the following:
The Commission shares the view of the European Parliament that, to be successful, the .eu top level domain should be in place very quickly and should not be burdened by an excessive regulatory framework. An advisory procedure was therefore considered by the Commission to be the most appropriate for this regulation. In line with the decision adopted at the Stockholm European Council in March 2001 to adopt all the necessary measures to ensure that the .eu top level domain is available users, as soon as possible, the Commission has resolved, however, to accept the regulatory procedure for Article 3(1) and Article 5, in order to facilitate the early adoption of this regulation, and with the confidence that this step can further promote the spirit of collaboration needed to achieve the objective set at the Stockholm Council.
The Commission stresses that the selection of the Registry, to organise administer and manage the .eu top level domain, should take place as early as possible and that all reasonable efforts will be made to ensure a prompt publication of the call for expressions of interest after the entry into force of the regulation. This presupposes that the criteria and procedures for the designation of the Registry are completed in due time. The Commission is committed to submitting the measures required for the implementation of the .eu top level domain in a timely fashion and shall do its utmost to ensure that the relevant procedures are completed and promptly to allow the .eu registry to become operational as early as possible after the entry into force of the regulation, unless exceptional circumstances intervene. The Commission calls on the Member States to fully subscribe to this objective and to provide the support required for achieving it."@en1
