I'm not too sure about it. 'EU' is ambiguous here: does the data owner mean European Union? Or Europe as a continent? Or the RIPE service region? Or just 'many countries'?

Maybe I should clearify this. This goes back to the time when we created a LIR that would span over all european countries - eu.telianet. This LIR was created to provide addresses for our global backbone and not for a specific country. Hence the name EU. provides services for all our operations within europe - and outside as well. When we started to do the IPv6 request for TeliaSonera we had two options: 1) To request thru each LIR we have today wich would result in a number of "small" blocks. or 2) Do a single request for the whole global TeliaSonera wich would result in one large address block. We went for 2) and the natural choice was to use a LIR that was already covering most countries. So the choice became our "EU LIR". Regards -- amar TeliaSonera /Telia Net
