There is also Foxconn P45AL, which has the benefit of being actually
available in Europe.
(Also supports 16GB RAM, and has more slots because of ATX form factor.)

The problem is that there is no word about VT-d support on the product
page or in the manual.

(Has P45 chipset, which needs BIOS support for VT-d, according to
Wikipedia.)

Any idea how to find out?

Thank you for your help:
