No, it's the European Working Time directive that limits them, not for flying hours, but time at work on standby - each 24-hour shift is the equivalent of 3 normal working days, in theory anyway.

There is still discussion about whether time at home on call counts as duty time or not or if you don't get called out at night and are able to sleep.
