I'm intrigued. The only foreign country I've been to in the past ten years that has required to see my passport is the USA - and regularly. They freak if you show them a Driving Licence (although it's in English) and they are forever asking for ID. But elsewhere I don't recall being asked for ID at all, other than checking in at hotels - and I'm not talking just EU but would include Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, Canada and probably some others I've forgotten about.
