Transition Altitude / Level

Hi All,

I'm trying to find a reference (specifically for European countries) that is clear about the transition altitudes/levels for each memebr state.

In the UK, the transition Altitude is the highest Altitude at which QNH is used as the controlling reference.

I know some states are different, and may refer to the transition altitude as a Flight Level.

Amsterdam appears to be the oddest of all, with different transition altitudes (given by ATIS) on the departure and arrival frequencies at the same time ...

Can anyone shine a light (not a laser)?
