As far as I know the CFLs are the same everywhere in the world (if that's what your asking), and you find them in every supermarket and hardware store here (but hard to find higher wattages like in the US unless you look online).
I also use PL lights (in France they're called Turbo Neons), they diffuse light way better than a coiled CFL, and they pack twice the power in half the space compared to standard T8/T5 tubes. Perfect for terrariums, and the 55W one is the perfect size for my windowsills. And they're easy for me to get, so why not use them? I live only a few km away from the shop of rainforest-frogs.nl.
One dutch friend originally installed 4 x 36W PL over her Phals (they're in a roughly 2meter long 'growbox', and she had to turn off 2 of them because the plants were starting to fry.
