Fee reduction extended for .eu dispute proceedings

Brussels and Prague, 18 December 2012 –The fee for a basic .eu Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedure will continue to be cut by 50% until the end of 2013, announced the .eu registry EURid and the Czech Arbitration Court (CAC), the institution appointed to rule on .eu domain name proceedings. Since the introduction of the reduced fee in July 2012, the average number of ADR cases filed per month has risen by 80%. “This increase does seem to indicate that there was some sort of financial barrier that prevented some parties from claiming their rights through .eu ADR proceedings,”
