Very few countries in the world have "licensure" for engineers. It's not a protected term of any sort in the US nor in most of Europe. Canada is one of the few places that's strict about it. Occupational licensing is a form of job market restriction that's generally frowned upon.

In the three European countries I've lived in (2 in EU + UK), licensed engineers must sign off on new building construction plans, and take responsibility for the suitability of the design.

Licensed engineers exist, but the term "engineer" is not protected.
