You are right (sort of, it's not exactly oposite direction).
While the vast majority of European States use East/West, Portugal, Spain France and a part of Italy use the North/South magnetic tracks (090 to 269 ODD's and 270 to 089 EVENs) for level allocation.
The reason behind it is that the main traffic flows in those countries are mainly North/South, so it would not make much sense to use the East/West.
