In Europe they won't give a landing clearance until much later on, in fact until the runway is clear. We do have a "land after" call in the UK but generally they don't use it with commercial aircraft.
Not true. As stated a few posts back, in CDG they give you landing clearance when you check in with tower, even if there are aircraft ahead of you. It makes sense at places that have landing only runways (AMS is the other where it would probably work well but they don’t do it yet)
