In 1999, the '''eu''' was approved as the two letter-alpha code for the European Union by the ISO-3166 Maintenance Agency.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/reports/2005/eu-report-05aug2005.pdf www.iana.org]</ref> Subsequently in 2000, the European Council endorsed the creation of .eu TLD during its meeting in Lisbon to improve the electronic commerce within the European Union. On April 22, 2002, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union enacted Regulation (EC) No 733/2002 which calls for the implementation of the .eu ccTLD to represent and promote the image of European community in the global information networks.<ref>
