European Union gets an internet domain name
Welcoming the news that the name of European Union will now be spread widely as a high level domain name for all of Europe's citizens, Graham Watson MEP, leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe said: "The .eu domain name is of huge symbolic value in the history of the integration of our continent. It will do for internet surfers what the Euro did for cross border shoppers and shows that Europe exists alongside Member States as a valid and useful level of governance and citizenship, bringing added value without detracting from national cultures."
