Not all Visa/MC cards are Credit Cards though. In the UK, regular bank debit cards use those systems.
Across the EU, as I recall, there's an assortment of per-country bank/debit card schemes but not a common unified one.

'D Notices', back in the day, were only ever a cosy gentleman's agreement thing.
Basically the government saying "this specific thing would cause us a bunch of grief if you published it - be good chaps and STFU, eh?"
