European Steel and Steel Shapes 1

I'm working on a project where my company needs some structural components fabricated in Europe (Estonia, Norway, Germany, Holland or Russia) and I have a couple of questions:

1) Can someone point me in a direction for a book or publication of commonly-available European steel shapes? What would be perfect is an equivalent of the AISC ASD book listing section properties for I-beams, H-beams, channels, angles, pipes and rectangular and square tubes. A website would be ok for the short-term to get me started on some calculations, but a book or publication is ultimately what I'm looking for.

2) What is a commonly-available European structural steel specification similar to ASTM-A572, i.e., a mild carbon steel with a YS of around 50ksi?

Hope the questions make sense and aren't too silly.

Thanks.
