[Tuesday 12 July]— In response to today\'s ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union, Stefan Krawczyk, Senior Director and Counsel Government Relations, eBay Europe said: “The judgment provides someclarity on certain issues, and ensures that all brands can be traded online in Europe. As a marketplace, eBay provides a level playing field for all online sellers and will continue building constructive partnerships to expand the range of brands being sold on eBay.”

The managing director of the online marketplace eBay, Dr. Stephan Zoll, and the managing Director of the online payment service PayPal, Gregor Bieler, and other employees of the company have signed the initiative "ProNet Neutrality”.  eBay thus supports the call for a legal establishment of the principle of network neutrality.
