Advocate General Verica Trstenjak has advised a non-resident is not allowed to circumvent the rules on eligibility by simply using a third party based in the EU.

| ... a non-resident undertaking cannot be allowed to circumvent the rules on eligibility by obtaining registration of a .eu domain name by means of a legal construction such as the commissioning of a third party organization that is established in the European Union and thus an eligible party |

Big ramifications if the ECJ backs this suggestion. One of the biggest non-EU cyberwarehousers in .eu dropped around 20K domains in the last month but it doesn't seem to be related to this.

This is the press release from the ECJ:
[curia.europa.eu...]
While it specifically mentions the Lensworld case, there is a paragraph that arguably nukes all front companies that have been set up by non-EU domainers and speculators.
