<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This is to advise you that Spain does not oppose to the use of the “es” label under the TLDs posted for comments on
<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/two-character-labels">https://www.icann.org/resources/two-character-labels</a> on the 8th September and which encompass TLDs from “ski” to “bzh”. However, Spain objects to the use of the “es” label under “bio” since
this is a string falling under category 1 of GAC advice relating to new gTLDs and whose use is subject to certain requirements according to Regulation (EC) 834/2007 of the Council, of 28<sup>th</sup> June 2007 on organic production and labelling of organic
products (article 23). We would rather make sure that the registrant of “es.bio” undertakes to use the name for purposes related to organic food or forage produced or sold in Spain and makes a commitment to abide by applicable regulations instead of letting
it free to be registered (or auctioned) by anyone on a “first come, first served” basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Likewise, we would like to restrain the use of “es.theatre” so that only entities aiming to offer information or services in relation to plays in Spain or written by Spanish authors can register them and if applicable,
they respect intellectual property rights on them. “Theatre” is a category 1 string.
