Brussels - The European Commission announced that the new ".eu" top-level domain, which allows businesses, public bodies and citizens to choose a pan-European Internet name for their websites and e-mail addresses, opens for business on Dec. 7. A sunrise period of four months will allow holders of prior rights, including businesses, to apply for the registration of domain names provided they are settled in the EU, the Commission said. From April 7, the Registry will open its doors for applications from the general public.
