My understanding is that the E.U. doesn't have the concept of Public
Domain.  E.g., I was told that when an E.U. government creates
software with taxpayer money, it is not Public Domain as for the U.S.
(belonging to the people of the U.S.), but is copyrighted by their
government (belongs to the State).  The State may license the
copyright as they see fit.  I.e., once a copyright "expires" in the
E.U., the copyright ownership simply transfers from the holder to the
State.  Ownership doesn't transfer into the Public Domain as in
the U.S.  Another person in the E.U. told me they couldn't work on a
Public Domain project because there was no legal way for them to forfeit
copyright (no copyright) under E.U. laws, as E.U. laws and treaties
automatically copyright their works for the life of the author and some
years.

(Of course, you could Google or Wikipedia to confirm or correct.)
