.EU is the country-code TLD for the European Union. It has been available to all organizations and individuals in EU Member States since 2005. .EU is administered by EURid. As of December 2006, there were over 2 million .EU domains registered.
EU emphasizes the European identity of a company, organization, or individual and so is growing in popularity for websites with pan-European audiences. In addition, .EU can be used to complement an existing website registered under an EU member state's own ccTLD (e.g. company.de may wish to also register company.eu, especially if doing business in other European markets).
