domain name for european parliament

Hello,

I received a request for a domain name from the European Parliament.
They propose the name
	ep
which is acceptable; I would like some advice on the most appropriate
top level domain.
I see 3 alternatives:
1. Creation of a new top level domain. They already proposed
	eur
   Considering the status of the European Community, such a request
   looks reasonable to me.
   Is the also acceptable? Better names?
2. Use an existing top level domain such as
	int
   (and join "nato" there).
3. Register 
	ep
   under be (because the current connection is realized in Belgium).
   From a political point of view this is not a good solution.
   I would probably also imply that they will register also
	ep.fr
	ep.lu
I suggest to discuss this in Praag.
Regards,
Pierre
