Hello Michael,

In October 2000, Christopher Wilkinson (Commission) reported that 
"ICANN will need a full proposal before an agreement can be 
concluded with the registry operator."
(http://www.ec-pop.org/1002/index.htm)

After that, an Interim Steering Group has identified several
options (10-Oct-00; http://www.ec-pop.org/1009prop/index.htm)
and the Commission has proposed a regulation for the implementation
of Dot.EU (12-Dec-00). This regulation will be considered
in May (EP) and April/June (Council), according to the Commission.
If all that works out, the Commission will call for proposals for
running the registry. Then the Registry shall enter into a contract 
with ICANN, having obtained the prior consent of the Commission.

So, no, the EU hasn't asked ICANN to do anything since then.

Best regards,
/// Alexander
