Standby on your characteristic and insulting American bashing for a moment and realize the requirements. I know its difficult.

When giving a Flight Review, the instructor has the OPTION to review maneuvers equivalent to the pilot's license. There is no real PTS for the Flight Review. The PTS is for the rating held.

From the FAA Commercial PTS (Practical Test Standards). Note that the stall demonstration is an "approach" to stall done at a minimum safe altitude.

References: FAA-H-8083-3; AC 61-67; POH/AFM.
Objective: To determine that the applicant:
Exhibits satisfactory knowledge of the elements related to accelerated (power on or power off) stalls.
Selects an entry altitude that allows the task to be completed no lower than 3,000 feet AGL.
Establishes the airplane in a steady flight condition, airspeed below VA, 20 knots above unaccelerated stall speed or the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Transitions smoothly from the cruise attitude to the angle of bank of approximately 45° that will induce a stall.
Maintains coordinated turning flight, increasing elevator back pressure steadily and firmly to induce the stall. Recognizes and recovers promptly at the “onset” (buffeting) stall condition.
Returns to the altitude, heading, and airspeed specified by the examiner.
Accelerated Stalls (ASEL and ASES)

This has been accomplished for years here in America, BTW. Accomplished with the above parameters, the maneuver is instructional and entirely safe.
