I have attached a plain text version to Bug 370505, it is available here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=342436 I still don't think a machine translation will be of any help. > Okay, I'm a bit confused.

In our system, qualified certificates are signed by intermediate CAs only. 'Qualified' does not necessarily mean that its more secure, it means that more regulations apply, and a qualified signature (based on a qualified certificate and created using a secure signature creation device) can be considered equivalent with a handwritten one according to the EU Directive. A non-qualified signature created in a secure environment can sometimes be considered more secure than a qualified one. Many regulations apply to the CA used for signing qualified certificates, but a lot less regulations apply to the root who signs the certificate for the key that is used for signing qualified certificates. I agree that this is not necessarily logical.
