If an organisation ever wanted to use those domains or if they were
being used inappropriately, then I am sure you would be able to have

afford to. Good luck to them. They'll need it.

Firms wishing to take advantage of the single market have until now been obliged to either to base their internet presence in one country or to create web sites in each of the EU countries in which they operate. This should foster electronic commerce and boost economic competitiveness and growth.
