PRESS RELEASE
".eu": Europe's new internet address opens for business on
7 December (1 December 2005)The Commission announced on 1 December that
the ".eu" top-level domain, which enables businesses, public bodies and
citizens to choose a pan-European Internet name for their web sites and
e-mail addresses, opens for business on 7 December 2005. A ".eu" suffix
enables users to project a Europe-wide presence, ambition or
affiliation. It complements, but does not replace, national country
codes such as France's ".fr", Poland's ".pl" or the UK's ".uk". A
sunrise period of 4 months will allow holders of prior rights -
including businesses - to apply for the registration of domain names
provided they are settled in the European Union. From 7 April 2006, the
Registry will open its doors for applications from the general public.
With the launch of .eu, the Commission lives up to the promise made at
the Lisbon European Council in 2000 to give Europe's Information Society
an identity on the web under reliable EU rules.
