Hosting the application in europe without a Premier account

I've built a Google App Engine application mostly for European users. I recently learned about the possibility to host it in the EU, and I'd like to do that.

The documentation at https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/uploading states

Note : If you have an App Engine Premier account, you can specify that your new application should reside in the European Union rather than the United States. For developers that do not have a Premier account, you will need to enable billing for applications that should reside in the European Union.

and

You must specify this location by clicking the "Edit" link in the "Location Options" section when you register the application; you cannot change it later.

I'm a bit confused by this because you cannot enable billing on an application before creating it, and once created you cannot change its location.

My questions are

  1. Am I missing something?
  2. What would be the best way to move my application to Europe?

Update

App Engine server location is now open to all Developeres.

Bear in mind, this must be specified when the application is being register; you cannot change it later. Server Location options is available under Show Advanced Options on the Create Project. This will allow you to choose either United States or European Union.
