International licences will lose a lot of their value if the international publishers cannot get exclusive rights to publish ebooks in their region.

Thats fine with me as long as we are talking about a localized language conversion. But there is no reason why I as a German reader am not allowed to buy an English edition from a US-publisher.
The German publisher won't lose any sales simply because he doesn't offer the English eBook version. Neither the printed one, btw.
If you're referring to the costs of converting books into eBooks: I've earned money that way. I've paid money that way. That means it
does indeed cause some costs.
