I wonder how many companies have it, I’d hazard a guess and say it won’t be a major problem. |

So you can't register or renew. eu domain names after we leave but I'd presume as it doesn't mention that paid up domain names will still work until they expire.

"Who says?
The registery that distributes the .eu domain.
I mean this was obviously going to happen, you have to be resident in the EU to use the tld .eu"
That is right  |

All the packaging with EU labelling, that needs to go to.
The UK Government says it will adopt a pragmatic approach to EU-labelled stuff still on sale from March 30, but producers need to invest in redesigns of their labels.
The images on cigarette packets? Those belong to the EU and will need to be changed by UK producers, too.

Seems Eurid who own the .eu registry are not happy with eu bureaucrats for undercutting their business,.eu 3.75 million customers of which 10% are uk customers.With Britain expected to bomb out of the Union on March 30, that would give as many as nearly 750,000 registrants just eight weeks to figure out how to move their domains or risk losing them on May 30. The EU then foresees putting all the unmoved domains back on the market one year later, in batches, starting May 30, 2020.
Or, in other words, once the EU has decided you are no longer a citizen, it will take your property away from you, without compensation, and then one year later sell them to others one year later, presumably at auction. Classy.
Um, so, is it legal?
Even the bureaucrats that came up with this terrible policy foresee that it may not be legal, and have included a section about challenges: "With respect to domain names that are ON HOLD, meaning for which there is a legal court case pending, these domain names will remain registered until there is an outcome of the court case. However, they will be SUSPENDED and will cease to function as of 30 May 2019," they have ruled. That follows the UK government advising .eu domain holders that they may wish to go to court over the whole sorry mess.
In the event of a deal, things are marginally better. In that case, British .eu registrants, or Europeans living in the UK, would have until the start of March 2021 to move their domain before they are taken away from them. |

"
my supplier 3 has sent me text messages saying that roaming charges will not be put on again. Staying as it is after march 29. No charge in US or Asia so why charge in EU?...
Not sure about Vodafone, 02 and EE though |

However, it's not the EU that has decided we will no longer be citizens is it? The UK collectively has told the EU that it no longer wants to be a part of it, it doesn't want to be citizens.
And one very tiny part of no longer being a EU citizen is that you no longer have the right to rent an internet address that says you're a EU citizen. Nobody is taking property away without compensation; no-one owns a domain name, you only lease them. And guess what, you've voluntarily torn up the lease agreement so you're out. It may be a sorry mess, but it's a sorry mess that has been demanded and won by brexiters. If you voted remain, you get to be able to complain and try to change it. If you voted leave, then you got what you asked for, shut up moaning and take everything that comes with it.
To paraphrase something that brexiters keep saying: You won, get over it! |

"I don't think you lose your domain name on the 29th March, you just can't renew after then or rent one to start with. "
From the .EU domain names registration authority:
"As of 30 May 2019, 00:00:00 CEST, all registrants who did not demonstrate their eligibility will be deemed ineligible and their domain names will be WITHDRAWN. A WITHDRAWN domain name no longer functions, as the domain name is removed from the zone file and can no longer support any active services (such as websites or email) but the record will remain in the .eu registry database, and may be reactivated if the eligibility criteria are satisfied.
Twelve months after the UK withdrawal, i.e. on 30 March 2020 00:00:00 CET, all the affected domain names will be REVOKED, and will become AVAILABLE for general registration. For security and stability reasons, the release of all affected domain names will occur in batches from the time they become available."
So as of 30th May, any .eu name registered to a UK citizen or UK based business will in fact cease to operate. There will then be a 10 month period during which the name will not be available for anyone to use, but after that the name will be up for grabs by any EU citizen or business.
Brexit, the gift that just keeps giving. |

"I'm not sure many UK businesses use a .eu domain anyway.
Most are either .co.uk .com or even .uk
You just trying to stir up trouble again Shag? lol"
Apparently there are just over 317,000 domain names that will be cancelled. So no, can't imagine it causing any inconvenience whatsover. Brexit, you bought it, you get to take it home  |

Never said it wouldn't hurt EU businesses as well. Just that it's going to hurt the UK a damn sight more than it'll hurt the EU. There's about what, maybe 10% of EU business that involves commerce and communication with the UK? Possibly more, i really don't claim to know the exact figures. But probably 80% or so of UK business that is dependent on the EU, or on countries where our interaction is subject to EU regulations.
So brexit will hurt the EU, it'll be like cutting off a foot. But for us it's going to be like cutting off both legs and one arm. |

I dunno. It is a pretty good reference to see all the lies being told now. All the promises that vote leave made that are all turning out to be bollocks.

Leave.EU and Vote Leave were separate campaigns. The Vote Leave campaign was designated the official campaign by the electoral commission, and Leave.EU wasn't. |

Yeah you know now I think about it, I remember Vote Leave putting up big public notices saying that Leave.EU was a bunch of shysters and everyone should ignore everything they said. I remember when Vote Leave got themselves a bus with a big sign on it saying to ignore the 350 million to the NHS messages of Leave.EU, that it was just a lie. When Nigel Farage stood up at Question Time and said, no no Leave.EU doesn't represent our position, we are suing them for all the lies they are telling about us....  |
