Default European License

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a European pilot's license based
on a US license?

If so, what does it take? Is there only paperwork, or is a checkride
involved?

I believe it varies with the country. France is quite easy as you only
have to send them a copy of your licence, Medical, and a picture and
they automatically send you a french licence. I am going to fly at St
Auban French Mt Soaring School this spring and they had a French
licence back to me about 2 weeks after I sent in the material. Spain is
also easy as they don't seem to require that you get a Spanish licence
and I was able to fly with my USA licence. Don't know about other
countries.
