Everybody can apply for eu-domains.
There are many good names, which are still free at .eu. Secure your European identity and register the names which are
important to you.
EU-Domains with special characters or IDN domains have been around since 2009.
The difference to the new Cyrillic eu-Domains and Greek eu-Domains is that the Cyrillic or Greek special characters are now also right of the dot.
The new Cyrillic eu domain looks like this:
The principle is: Latin names only with Latin .eu, Cyrillic names only with Cyrillic eu version.
As of November 14, 2019, you can also register names at the Greek version of .eu.
The new Greek eu-Domain looks like this:

IDN or eu-domains with special characters
We are accepting registration of IDNs at .eu.
Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) are domain names that may contain non-ASCII characters. An example for an special character is e.g. è. These special characters include letters with accents and characters in non-Latin languages such as Greek, for example.
The implementation of IDNs at eu-domains supports all characters of all the 23 official EU languages.
Registration of expired eu-domains
We are registering eu-domains in quarantine.
If a eu-domain is deleted by the owner or the provider of the owner, it is not longer active, but stays restorable.
The status of the deleted eu-domains are in "quarantine". The owner or
provider of the owner can restore the eu-domains.
If the eu-domain is not restored within 40 days, the domain is definetly deleted.
ICANN Registrar Secura is able to register eu-domains in quarantine in the moment of their final deletion.
This is a service for domain owners, who have lost their eu-domains by negligence or for interested parties seeking
an interesting eu-domain.
