Not sure if it meets the European criteria but I use a combination of DNSimple and Porkbun and am very happy with them both.

For less common ccTLDs, Gandi is still hard to beat since they support virtually everything. Apart from that, I have no regrets moving... I saw the writing on the wall about 2 years ago and moved virtually all my domains away from them.

Neither of these meets the European criterion.

Shame because they're good registrars. I wonder why the European requirement though (since the TLDs themselves are ultimately governed by the registries and you can always use your own - or third party, EU based - name servers).

Because of GDPR, it’s so much simpler so have a host within the EU than elsewhere and especially simpler than having one in the US

Not sure I understand why GDPR has anything to do with domain _registration_ (not hosting).
