Title: European Commission launches cyber-squatter survey
European Commission launches cyber-squatter survey
======================
The European Commission has launched an online survey asking citizens if
they feel threatened or worried by 'cyber-squatters'. The Commission
fears that cyber-squatters might undermine the launch of the European
Union's new .eu internet domain, and says it will use the findings of
the consultation to consider taking action.

The Commission is banking on the .eu domain to raise Europe's profile as
an internet power and to facilitate ecommerce by creating an area
undisputedly operating under EU laws. It expects companies and
organisations active throughout the EU to register with the new domain
name.

Citizens have until 31 October, 2002 to complete the online
questionnaire, available on the Commission's website at
