It seems that the call was not very well heard... I am a French citizen, and registered to vote in Ireland for the European elections and for the local elections, but obviously that is not enough. Anyway, looking at the European extensions, some calls seem not to be heard too... hey!! Gandi !! 6 are missing among the EU-15 (EU accession date before 2004):</p> <p>.ie Ireland (1973)<br /> .dk Denmark (1973, not Euro zone)<br /> .gr Greece (1981)<br /> .pt Portugal (1986)<br /> .fi Finland (1995)<br /> .se Sweden (1995)</p> <p>It was stated here by the Gandi UK Team, that the Irish ccTLD is quite expensive... well, from 19.50 to 30 Euro (excl. VAT) depending on the provider. But what about registering a .cat (36 E) .lu (30 E) .tv (36 E) or .tw (36 E) ? And some Irish providers are really small business. Nothing compare to Gandi's services and features, and to the support team. I tell you, I have some weird and contradictory answers sometimes from my Irish registrar... So, come on Gandi \ o /<br /> UK joined the EU in 1973, too, and smaller countries or &quot;later adopter&quot; are already in the extensions list !! I am happy that .gr and .se are on the wasy, but maybe we have to push the IE domain registry to make it easier for EU registrars. And you, Irish customers, let Gandi know that you are waiting to transfer your .ie domains! Should we write to the IEDR: do you have some points to relay/ask to them? There is a solution, I am sure, and if I can be of any help to you about this little part of Western Europe, you more than welcome (Céad Mile Fáilte) to ask, anytime.

Just need to validate technical tests.<br /> Nicholas: for .gr we are waiting for the greek registry final answer.</p> http://www.gandibar.net/post/2009/06/05/European-weekend#c169822 urn:md5:7281fdf5d178b78f52dd53f40bb0dcdc Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:44:14 +0200 Nicholas <p>I wish you could offer .gr tlds...</p> http://www.gandibar.net/post/2009/06/05/European-weekend#c169820 urn:md5:cc78ea9d2c2e5e71129205e973e10515 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:45:00 +0200 Tim <p>Please add .se (Sweden) too! The one-time application fee is only about 600 euro including VAT, and if you register at least 100 domains per year there's no yearly fee.
