Integration hasn't proceeded as fast and as smoothly as a lot of Europe's politicians would like. From a domain point of view .de and .fr etc are going to be popular for a long time to come. A German looking for a loan or a holiday is still likely to prefer visiting a .de site than a .eu site and it's going to take many more years of brainwashing before that alters much. The .eu domain has hardly been used here in the UK and .co.uk is stronger than ever.
Here in the UK, we are still, on the whole, eurosceptic and I can't foresee see .uk being controlled from the EU. Fortunately UKIP do very well in the European elections (coming 2nd last year) every 5 years which acts as a very nice regular warning to the Government and the Tories that there is only so much integration that we're willing to put up with. Who knows, one day we might even get a vote whether we want to stay in the EU. It's long overdue.
