Implementation of the .eu Top Level Domain

The Commission accepts all the Council's adjustments to the text for a proposed Regulation on the .EU Top Level Domain bar the proposed changes to article 6. By revising article 6 the Council seeks to establish a regulatory specific committee aimed at assisting the Commission on the management of .EU TLD. The Commission maintains the position that it would rather seek assistance from the advisory committee to be established by the Directive on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services. Until this Directive has entered into force, the Commission will seek assistance from the committee established for telecommunications services through the implementation of open network provision. Commission assistance from the later two committees, as opposed to the creation of a new committee, will ensure it remains updated on developments in the ever evolving world of information and communication technologies associated with internet use. The Commission notes that Parliament's amendment 39 supports the Commission position. To conclude the Commission had decided to maintain its initial proposal and thus rejects Article 6 of the Council's common position. For the rest, the Commission accepts all of the Council's modifications noting that they add both clarity and insight to the proposed Regulation.�
