Fox skips the UK all the time, even when they release in other EU territories.
I think it has a lot to do with the studios finally admitting that importing US discs into the EU is commonplace, and has become even moreso with region-free discs and compatible video standards. So instead of making covers, disc art, ratings submissions etc, for every country, they just master one (or two) disc(s) and watch it (them) spread all over via importing.
