Part 91 is for non-commercial ops.
Part 135 and 121 are the rules for what you would call AOC operators.
I don't believe Europe offers an IFR clearance comparable to the FAA 'VFR-On Top' clearance. The description of this clearance sometimes confuses people. For the avoidance of doubt, the FAA allows PPLs to fly VFR over an undercast with no more formality than flying on a clear day.
