Medical Certificate Class III
is there any EUROCONTROL or ICAO regulation that stipulates that medical class 3 certificates shall be accepted without formality by other EUROCONTROL or ICAO Member States
-or-
can a German ATC pass the medical examinations in France and continue working in Germany as ATC ?

I believe that each (state) regulator is responsible for it's own jurisdiction and licencing including medical assessments; even though it's effectively the same medical standard(s) I think the answer is no.

There is European commission regulation
No 805/2011 of 10 August 2011
laying down detailed rules for air traffic controllers’ licences and certain certificates pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council
And it says that member states shall recognize both ATC and medical certificates issued by other state
So I would say that answer is YES. However I think not all States follow it. Let's take adverts on FG,when it says applicant shall have valid UK issued licence. Which in my opinion is discriminating for applicants from abroad,who hold other member states issued licences,thus their licence shall be recognized. So only Unit training would be required and nothing else.
