While Europe does have per country operators, there are some operators that will provide very low roaming rates. I've not tried any of them though, and not all of them cover the whole of Europe yet.
Be aware that some countries (such as the UK) have a very competitive Pay As You Go market with very cheap flexible sims available with bundled data etc, while other countries, such as France, are a lot less competitive.

Vodafone are the only company I know of that have their own network across essentially all of Europe. Their roaming prices are not super cheap, and are dependent on where you buy your SIM card. If you buy your SIM card in the UK, the prices can be accessed here. A calling card may be a better option.
