Registration of .EU Domain Names
The European Union (EU) domain names
.eu is Europe’s Top Level Domain (TLD). Available to all companies and
organisations established in the European Union and to every resident's
citizen, it does not replace the existing national country code TLDs
(such as .fr, .de or .uk), but complements them and gives users the
option of having a pan-European internet identity on their websites and
e-mail addresses.
For citizens, the .eu TLD is a place in cyberspace, in which their
rights as consumers and individuals are protected by European rules,
standards and courts.
For companies, a .eu website enhances their internet visibility within
and beyond the EU single market, advertises their pan-European outlook
and provides greater certainty as to the law, which should in turn
foster electronic commerce and boost economic competitiveness and
growth. Before '.eu', firms wishing to take advantage of the single
market were obliged to either base their internet presence in one
country or to create websites in each of the EU countries in which they
operate.
