It is about identification with EUrope. Yes, foo.de will also get foo.eu -
but
only if the company/organization/... is active in several countries.
Basically
the same idea as "friedrich" (with whom I fully agree about .1 .reg
.tm) had about
.com. Having .eu means beeing active in whole EUrope,
as .com should better mean
beeing active in the whole world (and not some
small us company in Hintertupfingen).
I
would recommend the same for .asia in case of sufficient demand.

No
- what for? Companies/organisations/*private* *persons* that act only
locally
should have a domain reflecting that.

This
is an issue completely independant of the .eu question. Please read
"freidrich"'s
post in the discussion about Working Group C.
