I think there probably is generally an issue with discs having to be separately replicated for each market, e.g. in the UK all movies must be BBFC certified, so the disc and package artwork must reflect that. Then the disc content needs to also be slightly different, e.g. FBI warning replaced by the relevant UK copyright notices. The UK is probably a reasonable sized market already, but for smaller European countries I can see that the studios might not see it as worthwhile yet to produce specific versions of large numbers of titles.
