http://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,16376,1585288,00.html Reading between the obvious lines of the propoganda, what this effectively means is that the EU could host its own root servers, blocking sites which it considers 'offensive' or 'not good for the member state'. It has nothing to do with US control or the independent organisation ICANN, but to do with the ability of ordinary citizens worldwide to access sites within the EU.
