The EU approved a convention upon the reciprocality of driving disqualifications between member states back in 1998 but it doesn't come into force until all member states have signed up to it (and that hasn't happened yet).
In the meantime, EU nations are free to use that convention as the basis for bilateral agreements. The UK and Ireland have entered into such an agreement (which came into effect in 2010) but no other EU nations have yet entered into bilateral agreements with the UK, and none are in the pipeline. (There are separate agreements about the reciprocality of driving disqualifications between the UK and the Isle of Man, and between the UK and the Channel Islands).
So the short answer to your question is 'No'.

It's not that they don't care, more that they don't know about them, OG.
If a foreign national is banned in his own country there is nothing to prevent him from moving here, applying for a UK driving licence, buying a car, insuring it and driving it around. The DVLA and UK insurers have no access to foreign driving records.

//how did he manage to get down the wrong slip road? //
he didn't. he left the motorway at junction T5 in the correct manner but was unable to get through the toll gates because his card was rejected. the intermediate toll gates are all unmanned so there was nobody to help him. so he turned round (it's plenty wide enough to do that) and retraced his path back to the main carriageway, where he was filmed doing his U-turn.
