I have looked at the whois output.  I also looked at the reason for
listing eu.

1) If microsoft has nothing to do with it, don't prove your case by
using the whois entry for microsoft.{be|eu}.

2) It seems there currently is a public whois server for eu, something
apparently not true when this listing was created.  The format of the
output has nothing to do with the current listing.
