This does not sound like the ID cards used in Germany, so I am not sure if the reference to Europe makes much sense. I don't know anything about the ID cards in other European countries though, so Germany might be an exception. The ID cards in Germany are used in a similar way to American driver's licenses I guess.
If you mean the thread title--it's a line from Yes, Minister. Hacker and Humphrey are discussing how the British public would react to a European ID card. Bernard suggests calling it Euroclub Express.
The Germans will love it, the French will ignore it, and the Italians will be too chaotic to enforce it. Only the British will resent it.  :yes:
