A flag-of-convenience airline is a carrier that is established in a country other than the home country of its majority owner(s) in order to avoid regulations of the home country. Flags of convenience are often used to decrease labor costs and undercut established markets.
All the carriers you listed were originally established by entities in their operational countries and were later acquired by other EU owners whose intent was NOT "to avoid regulations of their home country."
Nice try, but no cigar.
