The European Commission has decided to designate EURID (European Registry for Internet Domains) as the Registry for the dot EU (.eu) Top Level Domain (TLD). The .eu is intended to become the European identification of websites and e-mail addresses. The three founder members of EURID are currently managing the country codes .be (Belgium), .it (Italy) and .se (Sweden). Two associated members are from acceding countries. EURID has committed to consult stakeholders from the European Internet Community and to ensure contacts with regional and international organizations involved in the Internet.
