The Registrar verification response identified the Respondent as being “Arcelor Limited” located at “Avenue Emile Vandervelde 453 Industriestraat 301 De Haan Namur, 8420 Belgium”. Furthermore, the disputed domain name resolves to a website purporting to provide information on a company \"ARCELOR LIMITED\" (including vacancy and investment opportunities) with its headquarters allegedly located in Schifflange\/Luxembourg and operating particularly in the steel sector.<\/p>\n

(1) no such Belgium company is identified in the Belgium company registry;<\/p>\n
(2) the phone number displayed on the website belongs to a non-governmental organization SORDES; and,<\/p>\n
(3) the Complainant had a plant in Schifflange, but it has been closed.<\/p>\n
