Just lucky, apparently. The EU says[1]

May I register a “.eu” name if I live in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, or Switzerland?

Not yet, but the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) have begun discussions with a view to extending the scope of the .eu Top Level Domain to Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway ... Switzerland cannot be included in these talks as is not a member of the EEA.

You shouldn't have been able to register them. You were lucky!
