This is a dangerous assumption. I was ramp checked in France a few years ago and the DGAC guys were very thorough. Checked everything – all fine - then asked to see my PLB. I fly a permit aircraft, so said I did not think it was a requirement. The answer was that French permit aircraft are not required to have one but that this only applied to the listed French permit categorises. Fortunately I had a PLB!

1 ICAO ANNEX 6
The mandatory carriage and operation of 406 MHz ELTs is described in the ICAO Annex 6 - Operation of Aircraft. The technical requirements are described in Annex 10 - Aeronautical Telecommunications Volume III.
Amateur built aircraft, registered in an ECAC country are given a general permission to use the airspace of the Netherlands (FIR Amsterdam) under certain conditions on a temporary basis. This is to facilitate international meetings, fly-ins, demonstrations or other recreational purposes.
The conditions are the following:
The Civil Aviation Authority of the country of registry has issued a non ICAO CofA, a permit to fly, or any other document permitting the operation of the aircraft;
The operating conditions and limitations set by Civil Aviation Authority of the country of registry are applicable whilst operating in the airspace of the Netherlands.
