I'm sorry to disapoint you, but there is no such central body. Europe isn't
a single country (yet). I fear that it might be quite complicated due to
the experimental status of the machine.
To make a start at the organisations you'll need to get in touch with:
-Netherlands: Ministerie van Verkeer en Waterstaat, Inspectie Verkeer en
Waterstaat, Divisie luchtvaart (Civil Aviation Authorities)[*]
-Germany: Luftfahrt Bundesambt (LBA)
-Great Brittain: Brittish Gliding Association (BGA) I think...
Maybe others can append the relevant authorities for other countries?

Association) in The Hague, section Gliding ). The Civil
