I appreciate that - however when it comes to what is actually legal and what is not I beleive these requirements are not legal requirements in the Netherlands. I have no idea about the other countries.
The Netherlands is a strange place:- At this time of year a lot of people change their tyres from summer to winter tyres. There isn't a legal requirement for this in the Netherlands but there is in Germany, and I assume (but do not know) that in more northern countries snow chains would also be necessary if not legally required.
The "trick" about all season tyres is slowly filtering through here but it has taken a long time for people to cotten on...
