Yes i saw itto late
Here in Belgium this weekend is European Music Festival and i made a banner because the big tent is in front of my store.
So hopefully they join our site.
I used www.eurobt.eu

Most official EU sites will switch from *.eu.int to *europa.eu on 9 May (Europe Day), by the way. The old web, mail, etc. addresses should continue to work for quite a while though.

Both

http://www.ecb.int and http://www.ecb.eu

work the same.

No, it was not me who dug this topic up - some spammer did. But as it's back up let me just add that the "official" address of the European Central Bank's website is http://www.ecb.europa.eu/ That is what the ECB uses in its press releases, brochures, etc. But of course it makes sense to keep the other - shorter - domain names functional.

I like the short address way better.

Sure, after all it's shorter. But I guess they do not "actively" use the .int domain because that is not specifically European, and an .eu domain can be had by anybody in the EU. That is why most EU bodies (Council, Parliament, Commission - and the ECB too) use that europa.eu type of address in their "communication" (media releases etc.). Makes sense, but of course .eu is easier to use ...

I see. That would make sense Thanks for the explanation.
