It is that way in most EU countries where there is a good and strong ccTLD. It seems to be less than 10% of the ccTLD in some countries.

I think that .eu needs more time, it's very young TLD. We also need more development under .eu domains, so it gets more popular and more valuable in time.

It should have been a lot better. The mistake that the European Commission made was giving the .eu ccTLD to the Belgian DNS.be to run. Eurid is really just DNS.be with a few changes. It will take at least five years for .eu to become valuable. While Eurid might claim that there are 59K Irish owned .eu domains, the reality is that there are less than 10K genuinely Irish owned .eu domains. The rest are owned by cyberwarehousing companies using Irish addresses. The same applies for the UK and for Cyprus.
The last web survey I ran on .eu ccTLD showed very little development and a lot of domain parking. Some domainers have had good results with parking but people in Europe think ccTLD first, .com second, then .net and .org. They rarely think of .eu first.
