Launch of .eu internationalised domain names (IDNs)
From 10 December 2009, companies and private persons based in the European Union will be able to register .eu Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs).
IDNs are domain names that contain non-ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) characters.
