Hi, Carsten --
I'd assume that you have "Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes" in mind for the acronym ARCEP - the French independent administrative Authority in charge of Post and Electronic Communications. If so: what is their regulation (efforts) that might affect interconnection as you mention ARCEP explicitly? https://ripe64.ripe.net/presentations/103-RIPE_64_ARCEP_panel.pdf

tl;dr = Registration of interconnections may be required. Industry says that this would be a huge disincentive to peer. Be (possibly) afraid.
It sounds frightening but it hasn't been a huge amount of work for us. And to be frank we aren't telling them a lot more than they could find out themselves by getting a collection to Renesys, looking at the RIPE database and looking at PeeringDB And if it helps them to go after some of the european monopolists then I'm all for it Nigel
