EU domains coming Nov 2004
January 7th, 2004

European companies and individuals will be able to use .eu domain names from November 2004.
Anyone living in the EU as well as any business with its headquarters, central administration or main base in the Union will be able to register the .eu domain name.
From September 2004, those holding prior rights to a name (trademarks) can register the .eu domain during a 'sunrise period', reports The Register.
General registration is planned for November on a first-come-first-served basis. Any name may be used, except those taken during the 'sunrise period' or blocked by registration.
However, the .eu domain name will have a difficult task catching up with the more popular domain names already in use.
The suffix ".com" appears on 20 million websites worldwide. In the EU, the German domain name ".de" has the most sites, with 6 million, closely followed by ".uk" which has 4 million.
