The first phase of registrations for the new Top Level web Domain .eu began on December 7, 2005. This marked the start of a 4-month ’sunrise’ period during which only the holders of existing trademarks or other prior rights may register. Registrations for .eu will be fully open to the public from the beginning of April 2006. Eurid is the independent organization selected by the European Commission to operate the new registry for .eu. Pre-registering a domain name within the .eu TLD is not possible.

Dates applications will be accepted:

For trademark holders and public bodies: December 7, 2005 to April 6, 2006.

For holders of “other prior rights”: February 7 to April 6, 2006.

For the general public: from April 7, 2006.
