lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I should first of all like to thank the rapporteur for her outstanding cooperation and the excellent way in which she has worded her report. I should like to home in on a few points. Firstly, the method of registration of a ‘.EU’ domain. The principle underlying the registration policy is that anyone who wants to register a ‘.EU’ domain also has the related trademark rights. Two interests need to be weighed up in this connection. On the one hand, countering abuse and, on the other, making registration for SMEs and for citizens as simple as possible. Two models are possible in this connection. The first model prescribes extremely strict requirements to be applied in advance of someone obtaining such a ‘.EU’ name. This will then lead to a shortage of names because the thresholds are too high. The second model prescribes subsequent intervention in the unlikely event of improper use or speculation. That is why I should like to refer to Amendment No 34, which spells this out clearly. We prefer the second model because it is much more SME-friendly, results in many more domain names and – in my opinion – in many more domain registrations. That is the right way forward in my view. My second point concerns clarity on behalf of citizens and businesses. ‘.EU’ offers EU citizens clarity, for it stipulates that registration is only possible for people or businesses lawfully based within the EU. That is what Amendment No 24 is about. That translates into more legal certainty, more confidence and an increase in within the European Union. I believe that that is what it is all about. Finally, my third point. All of this fits in with the EU policy which we aim to pursue. We want to assume a favourable position worldwide in the Information Society. In my opinion, the ‘.EU’ Internet Domain sets the right tone for this, for which I am extremely grateful."@en1
