Yeah, it's different in the EU. In the US, it's often expected from engineers to be on unpaid oncall—that is, these companies usually phrase being oncall as part of your ordinary duties, without additional compensation. And even if it's compensated, sometimes you cannot opt out of this without seriously harming your career.
Something ridiculous like that is luckily impossible in (most?) EU countries.
