The Dark Side?
Has anyone noticed that the Europa website appears to have been cloned? If you go to euramis.net you’ll see what appears to be a complete copy of Europa. Apparently Euramis stands for European Advanced Multilingual Information System, but whether that’s relevant to this site cloning issue, I have no idea. Does anyone know what’s going on? Is anyone allowed to say?

Dear Eric
I've emailed them to ask.

Thanks Angela - let us know what happens!
Hello Eric
Have had this answer from EU:
"Dear Mrs Joyce,
Thank you for your interest in our site. As to your question, the answer is that EUROPA has not changed url, it is still http://europa.eu . We have indeed noticed that a company has registered and used the url's euramis.net, euramis.com and euramis.org to point to our site. We are currently trying to prevent this from happening either through technical or legal means.
Best regards

So it was in fact a mistake!
