And as usual with the corrupt world of Brussels it stinks!

I've successfully registered 13 of 40 applications however many of the names unsuccessfully applied for are already proven to be domain squatters.

Even my very unusual surname has been grabbed!

For instance my company name, which was denied under the trademarks application since we are self-employed and for which we already have .com, .biz, .info, .co.uk, .in and .cn, for .eu has a registered address for an Adsense ad page!

Their servers are way overloaded with enquiries right now, will have to check over the weekend who grabbed all "my" other stuff!

This scenario actually is now making us reassess our proposed .eu marketing plans since this farce has just cocked-up our intended plans.

We all "knew" it was going to go wrong with Brussels being involved, they've now proven conslusively that they can't run anything correctly.

How long has this ineptitude taken? 3 years?
