.EU Final Countdown Begins

26 Aprile 2005

EUROPA, a provider of coverage of European Union affairs, today announced the final countdown to the advent of Europe’s own '.eu' internet identity, by the end of 2005, has begun. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) will soon put the .eu top level domain in the Internet root, further to a 21 March agreement between the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the .eu Registry.

The '.eu' tld will be a new top level domain that will not replace the existing national TLDs in the EU e.g. '.fr' for France and '.be for Belgium, but will complement them and give users the option of having a pan-European Internet identity.

"The agreement reached between ICANN and EURid constitutes a landmark in the history of the .eu project. It gives the green light for the final technical preparations to permit .eu to become a reality before the end of the year," said Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding.

EURid is yet to accredit registrars who will be able to accept the first applications to register .eu names. EURid, with the cooperation of the Commission, is working on these final preparations with the aim of launching the first phase of registration later this year.
