ECR group in the European Parliament: Cybersquatted!

Cyberquatting is coming to the EU. The victim: The ECR Group in the European Parliament. Brought to you by Jon Worth:

The new group took the name European Conservatives and Reformists (a contradiction in terms even in the name) but no-one thought to register any domain name for the new group before its establishment. So on 22nd June I had a look around to see what I could find – ecrg.info was still available and I purchased it and registered it with Google. Now more than 3 months on there is still no official ECR Group website as far as I can see, and the single page of my website has risen slowly up the Google results, so much so that I’m starting to get mails via the website from all sorts of organisations asking for information about the ECR’s MEPs and positions and even asking for speakers for conferences.

    The incompetence of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) is matched by that of Europe of Freedom and Democracy (EFD), where UKIP is the big fish.
