Implementation of the .eu Top Level Domain (Regulation (EC) No 733/2002)

Publication of lists with regard to geographical and/or geo-political concepts

(2005/C 191/06)

In accordance with article 5.2 of Regulation 733/2002 on the implementation of the .eu Top Level Domain, a number of Member States have notified to the Commission and to the other Member States limited lists of broadly-recognised names with regard to geographical and/or geo-political concepts which affect their political or territorial organisation, that may in consequence not be registered (Article 5.2a), or be registered only under a second level domain (Article 5.2b).

The Regulation requires the Commission to publish these lists which can be found in their original format as notified by Member States on the following website:

http://europa.eu.int/information_society/policy/doteu/library/article_5-2

These lists can also be found by selecting the homepage of the Directorate-General Information Society: http://europa.eu.int/information_society and then following the path IS Industry → Communications → Internet → Quicklinks — Policies — dotEU → Library.

According to the procedure foreseen in Article 5(2) of Regulation 733/2002, a Member State or the Commission can raise objections to an item included in a notified list within 30 days of this publication.

Objections need to be submitted in writing by any of the following means of communication, although the Commission suggests using email wherever possible:
