...actually, the question is more "where"?
I live in europe and we would like to setup an advertising company, active in all european countries (in the end). So I would like to claim all extensions: .de .fr .nl .be .es .....
I have a godaddy account but they don't offer all of them.
Any ideas?

Go to Google and use "domain, european, tld, register". Many are listed.
BTW, it doesn't matter waht the domain extension is, your site will be "active" all around the entire world.

One more thing:
If you buy only a few (eg. .com .nl .fr .de), are the remaining ones also claimed implicitly (on the principal of trademark or intellectual property) ?
If in the future I'd like to buy some more (eg .co.uk), can I register it and even claim it (even if a bad dog has registered it in the mainwhile just to harress me on this point) ?

Sorry, but that's going to be basically impossible. Alot of the European countries require you to fill in a bunch of forms, and provide proof that you have registered a business through the government in that country. Some also require that you show proof of residence in that country, etc. That's why you can't just pick them up at GoDaddy or any other registrar. You have to goto the country specific registrar.
So sorry, but unless you're willing to registered a business in each country, and get a residence in some of them too, then you can't register a domain in all European countries. :)

Hmm, I just did a quick search and came across several sites, eg. http://www.europeregistry.com/
On page http://www.europeregistry.com/domains/domains-search.htm it seems there are no restrictions.
What you think?
