Following a meeting with European competition regulators, Apple is “optimistic” about extending the reach of iTunes in Europe next year. The meeting was arranged between a variety of online music providers, to set up a common road map for providing their services. The joint statement can be read here.

Presently, iTunes exists in France, Germany, UK,  Austria, Belgium, Finland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark. Many of these nations don’t have localized languages in their version, and iTunes videos are also lacking.

Also involved in the meeting was Amazon, BEUC, EMI, Nokia, PRS for Music, SACEM, STIM and Universal. Hopefully this will mean our European readers will have readier access to the iTunes store before long.
