Well it depends what you call European license ... you have the European license basically any licence from a European country (quite obvious) then you have a JAA licence which is the same as the previous one but this time the country is a JAA member then you have the JAR FCL licence and this time the country is not only JAA member but also approved by the JAA training wise ... for example, right now the British CAA can deliver a JAR FCL but Ireland only deliver JAA license waiting to set up all the exams ... hope I was clear enough and good luck ... but check carrefully where you will train
