However, from their first announcement in January:
"The .eu domain name will not replace existing EU country domain names, but
will be offered as an alternative."
As they say in this latest report that it would " let companies avoid the
necessity of registering" I think that there may be a missing word, a *not*
before the eliminate. Otherwise the earlier statement is irrelevant as there
would not be a possibility of registering in different countries. (Also
going by their standard of checking - you can sort the search by date or
*revelance*).
