If I remember well IBM relocated its European HQ to Madrid two years ago. Intel had R&D people in Barcelona some time ago (some parts of the Itanium were designed there). Also in Spain, Telefonica had a R&D office in Valladolid where they developed their Video and CDN. There is some support staff there, too. In Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca (Romania) there is a lot if tech outsourcing jobs for the EU market. Think maintainance and development. In France there us a town called Sophia Antipolis where Lucent (now Alcatel) and HP did software development for telco products (call managers, etc). The did support from there as well.
