Question Flying in Europe...Big deal?

Hey all, just thought I might get some handy piece of advice by starting this thread. Mainly wanting to hear from pilots who have been in Europe and flown around there, whether for training,work or even recreational.
I have a frozen ATPL and I will soon be doing my IFR, hopefully heading to Europe with 500 odd hours..I know it ain't much but its better than a bare CPL with 250h!! I hope it makes a difference..
To complete my JAR licence I need to sit a CPL/ME-CIR flight test and have a minimum of 15h in European airspace. So I dare to ask..What are my chances of managing that in the minimum amount of hours? How does the airspace there compare to our's? Is every country different?
Am I better off to do a full IFR in Europe instead of converting it?
I might have to complete an MCC course too before I can apply to the airlines, just so my resume is more competitive...Any advice?
Thanx in advance, hope there is someone out there who can help!
