Hi there Ludo,
With a bit of searching I've found at least one company in Europe that
supplies water based polyurethane varnish:
http://www.polymar.com/contact.htm
They have a head quarters in Belgium.

You can find out more here:
http://www.polymar.com/Polymar_about.htm

Why not give them an email and they should be able to tell you of a business
chain or shop in your area who can sell you the stuff?

There is at least one chemical company Europe who are researching and
selling chemicals used as a basis for water based polyurethane products,
there should be at least something available local to you.

Cheers,
G.
