Most European countries have ccTLDs which are not bound by ICANN rules
(they may have signed a vague, non-committal memorandum of
understanding, though).  Several of these ccTLDs publish full
registrant details, including DENIC in Germany.  So the impact of
European privacy law is certainly more complicated than you claim.
