As stating, .EU domains must be owned by citizens or organizations located in the European Union. Because of Brexit, this is no longer the case for UK citizens and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in 2018, that the European Commission suggested that .EU domains owned by UK citizens could be canceled at the end of the Brexit transition period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respectively, the number of UK registered domains ending in .EU shrunk from over 300,000 in 2017 to 81,000 at the beginning of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in October, EURid, the registrar for .EU domains began notifying UK registrants about these new measures coming into effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>On 1 October 2020, EURid has notified by email all UK registrants and their registrars that they will lose their eligibility as of 1 January 2021 unless they demonstrate their compliance with the .eu regulatory framework by updating their registration data before 31 December 2020.<\/em>\u201d &#8211; EURid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does This Mean for Suspended EU Domains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The domains suspended on January 1, 2021, can no longer be used for websites, email addresses, or other web-based applications and services. Further to this, registrants of suspended domains have until April to meet the new regulation and show that they are eligible to hold the domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After April 1, 2021, UK registrants who cannot prove that they are eligible for an <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/internet\">Internet<\/a> .EU domain will have their domain moved to &#8220;withdrawn&#8221; status. A withdrawn domain is a domain that cannot support any service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 1, 2022, any domain names still in the &#8220;withdrawn&#8221; status will be revoked from ineligible UK registrants and become generally available for re-registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are eligible to hold .EU domain names as per the new regulations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A Union citizen, independently of their place of residence;<\/li><li>A natural person who is not a Union citizen and who is a resident of a Member State;<\/li><li>An undertaking that is established in the Union; or<\/li><li>An organization that is established in the Union, without prejudice to the application of national law.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The affected domain names will be reinstated as soon as the UK registrants update to reflect valid contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until end of March, UK registrants can prove their eligibility by showing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>They are a legally established entity in one of the eligible EU27 or the EEA Member States; or<\/li><li>They are resident in one of the eligible EU27 or the EEA Member States; or<\/li><li>They are citizens of one of the EU27 Member States<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ref: [<a href=\"https:\/\/eurid.eu\/en\/register-a-eu-domain\/brexit-notice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>], [<a href=\"https:\/\/eurid.eu\/en\/news\/brexit-eu-domain-name-holders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a>], [<a href=\"https:\/\/eurid.eu\/en\/welcome-to-eurid\/statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 81,000 .eu domains owned by 50,000 UK registrants have been suspended as the Brexit transition period comes to an end.
