I've been looking for this card myself for about a year and, like
yourself, have only found it available on US sites where the list
price is attractive, but the shipping and customs bring it back up to
the prohibitive EU prices.
I've tried on eBay, but you're only going to save at most Eur100, and
it's very very rare.
You may have some luck with the Intel SRCS16, it's exactly the same
card, down to the on-card BIOS and firmware versions.

If you find an acceptable source, I'd be interested in sharing the
delivery costs with you.
