Hi Jay,

This is a poignant plea.  However, it also highlights
the fact that EU and other regional TLDs are merely
a species of generic TLD loosely associated with a
political-economic organization brand.  Once an EU
domain were denominated, non-discriminatory treatment
would compel similar benefits to be accorded every
other political economic association in the world.

The dubious aspect of all this is whether it brings
any additional benefits at all to those in the region
concerned.   The only one it would seem to benefit
is the organization involved.
