Answer
Yes, operations have been taking place from European continental territory and in European airspace for some time, e.g. scientific/weather stratospheric balloons1 , sounding rockets or military HALE RPAS transiting above Europe at FL550-FL600.
[1] Sounding rockets and stratospheric balloons have been launched from Northern Europe (SE, NO) for more than 50 years.
