Europe is more heterogeneous than the states, so it's not a fair comparison.
However, if it's worth anything, there are no capital requirements for starting a company with liability protection, which isn't the case in several European countries.
Americans also aren't required to register or deregister themselves with the local government whenever they move.
I can think of other examples (the lack of television taxes, religious taxes, &c). Again though, these examples depend a lot on each country, so I'm sure you can find exceptions for each of these depending on the European country you look at.
