There has been massive fraud in .eu and Eurid did nothing to stop it. The ccTLD is not a trustworthy extension for most of the EU. As a result of Eurid's incompetence and failure to manage the ccTLD, most of the ccTLDs in the EU directly gained and continue to gain registrations. That is why the ccTLD is of little value to domainers. While 3 million domains might sound impressive, breaking those domains down on a country by country basis and analysing the number of active websites shows that .eu ccTLD is not a serious player in the European domain landscape. I know it sounds harsh but sometimes the truth is so.
