It requires a sim cutter. I am not sure if anyone in Europe offers pre-paid nano sims, but I'll find out in a few months.

looks like 3 does http://store.three.co.uk/SIM_Only/Mobile_Broadband_iPad_Nano...

when the smaller iPhone sims came out a couple years back there was a backlog on pay and go for a few months as they were reserved for their iPhone contract customers, same will happen with these tiny sims.

(I know that says iPad, so I'm extrapolating)

edit: Yes they have Pay and Go nano for iPhone 5 as well: http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchSimOnly?tariff=112

Cutting a normal SIM to size isn't that hard - or buy a SIM punch in advance to do it an a fail-safe way.
