A domain registry has not been designated from the commission right now. The official bid for the registry has been closed at Oct. 25th, 2002.
The commission lets examine fast by a consulting firm since November 25th to take two to three applicants into a final round. Technical stability and also the respective competition position is considered.

A preregistration will only be possible as soon as a registry starts operating. Probably this registry will introduce several queues for the preregistration, similarly to the info and biz registries.

emerion will offer preregistrations as soon as they are provided by the new official registry.

If you receive an offer to register a dot-eu domain right now, this is just an entry in a local data base without obligation.

Nobody can ensure whether the reserved domain will be actually registered to you, also no higher chances can be ensured by such a reservation to receive the appropriate domain name.

We will inform you about the further progress of the European Union domain and we will send an email to all our customers, as soon as a the development is important for registrants.
