Europe is a big place with lots of different cultures and regulations.

Eg in Germany, employers are both legally obliged to give a reference and to make it not-negative. It's a weird place.

Which they basically circumvent, by using a language where a reference which is just good and not extremely good means it's a bad reference.

Courts have started catching on and are punishing the most well known euphemisms, too.
