The .eu domain is now open to all applicants within the European Union who wish to register web addresses.

The domain was made publicly available at 1000 BST today on a first-come, first-served basis from more than 1,000 accredited registrars.

Trademark holders and public bodies have been able to register their .eu domains since December in the 'sunrise' period.
