Check out www.CAE.COM too. They have a brand new one in BRU and one with AZ in Rome.
type rating
Unless there are some terminology differences when saying "type rating" in the EU vs USA, I assume you mean a rating that allows you to step into the left seat as PIC. If this will be your first foray into jets, look at the most commonly operated type in your area. From what I see in cruising the job postings, the B-737 ( -300 or better ) is the most common and would most likely be the type you'd be in line for as a guy breaking into the airline jet game. If you have no jet time, a B-767 rating with no line experience might not be as appealing to the employment people who will be looking to put you into a -737 job most likely. Good luck.

Unlike the US, in Europe you need a type rating to act as first officer in all multi crew planes (except some small ones such as King airs which are flown single crew and you act as pilots assistant but do not log time.)
If you have no jet time, as well as the rating done at one of the above training organisations you would need to find an airline willing to do the base training for you in the actual aircraft.
There are a few 737 ones on offer but I have not seen any 757/767 ones advertised.
Most operators want time on type as well as the rating if they don't train you themselves though with 6000 hrs turboprop you might be lucky with just the rating.
