So this effectively means don't register a .eu domain if there's any discussion in your country about an *EXIT?

- tehlike 8y agodon't register an eu domain at all - who knows if eu will exist in near future? edit: eu was founded in 1993. it's just around 26 years old, but already has a lot of problems.
- midasz 8y ago> who knows if eu will exist in near future ???????????????????? Absolute nonsense. That'd be like saying don't do business with US companies because they haven't had a functioning government in more than 40 days...
- Cthulhu_ 8y ago> That'd be like saying don't do business with US companies because they haven't had a functioning government in more than 40 days... 40 days is generous, the US's government hasn't functioned in years, if not decades.
- pgc 8y agoI don't know what Europe would look like without the EU. I'd say in the coming years the stability of it will be tested thoroughly. The countries that are calling the shots (namely France and Germany and their lapdogs) will be tested, too.
- rndgermandude 8y agoThe EU is the successor to the EEC (1957) and ECSC (1951).
- duiker101 8y agoI mean, looking at the state of things I'd say it's more likely the US will be annexed by Russia before the EU goes away.
- tebs1200 8y agoOh - I thought that had already happened.
- cm2187 8y agoDon’t know why you are getting downvoted, eu-hostile populist parties are on the rise everywhere in Europe. If your business depends critically on a domain, I think not relying on a .eu domain is a common sense precaution to take. And it doesn’t matter what the next election polls are. You are still going to depend on your domain in 10 or 15 years.
- cabalamat 8y ago> eu-hostile populist parties are on the rise everywhere in Europe Populist parties are on the rise, and many of them have made anti-EU noises in the past. However, with Brexit, they've got very quiet about leaving the EU. If Brexit does go ahead, I expect it will be sufficiently unpleasant that no-one else will want to leave.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoI wouldn't be too sure, some countries might get kicked out - Greece was at risk of that for a while. It's precarious. And there's a big power on the east who would love to see the EU (and the US) destabilize. The UK would fall apart even further after the Brexit; there's likely to be another Scottish referendum and they're likely to leave the UK and rejoin the EU.
- cabalamat 8y ago> some countries might get kicked out I don't think this is particularly likely, because the EU doesn't want more countries leaving. Maybe Hungary will, but only if Orban goes completely off the rails. > there's likely to be another Scottish referendum and they're likely to leave the UK and rejoin the EU. Wouldn't surprise me at all. What happens in the UK depends on how chaotic the Brexit process gets.
- robertony 8y ago> Greece was at risk of that for a while. Greece actually campaigned for it and the EU imposed more austerity instead.
