As per the basic rule that the script of the domain name string
must match the script of the domain name extension, only domain
names in Greek script can be registered under .ευ,
for example
<τομέα.ευ> (meaning
"domain.eu" in Greek). The same registration
requirements as for .EU and .ею apply, that is to say
that a presence in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or
Norway is required, or EU citizenship.
.ευ domain name applications are processed on a
first come, first served basis. There is no Sunrise period or any
period giving priority to Intellectual Property rights holders, as
is sometimes the case for the launch of new TLDs.
However, EURid automatically secured the .ευ
equivalents of existing .EU domain names in Greek script (for
example: <τομέα.eu>) in the name of
the same registrants. The .ευ domain names
and their .EU equivalent will co-exist until 13 November 2022, at
which point the latter will be phased out.
