Brexit And EU Domains

DOTeuWith the United Kingdom leaving the European Union (EU) on 31st January 2020 there are many questions regarding many aspects of life and business.

One such question refers to what happens to UK businesses and individuals who have registered a .eu domain.

Let us start with what the requirements are for registering a .eu domain:

  • Undertakings having their registered office, central administration, or principle place of business within the European Community;
  • Organisations established in the European Community without prejudice to the application of national law;
  • Natural persons who are residents within the European Community;

At the time of writing this article there are still many unclear aspects as to what Brexit will bring.
