From January 8, 2014 domain registration in the .eu domain zone that unites countries of European Union will become available for citizens, organizations and business representatives of three more countries – Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway. These countries are not in the European Union, but are members of the European Economic Area. European Commission made this decision.
“We welcome this positive development which has been in the air for some time”, said Marc Van Wesemael, general manager of Eurid registrar, administrator of .eu domain zone. “The more countries and businesses that benefit from .eu’s unique identity, the stronger its brand becomes. Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway have had close economic ties with the European Union since the Community’s early years. Granting them access to the .eu top-level domain is a natural step forward in that relationship.”
