Well, I appreciate your trying to get this CE in Europe, too, but unfortunately, it looks like it's not happening 
I posted on the EU PS Blog to Square Enix Community Manager Lee Williams the following question:
And his reply:

I'm disappointed, and kind of surprised tbh, because Europe tends to always get awesome CEs, and usually gets CEs when the US doesn't.
Not only is our FFX HD LE not as good as the US one (no OST for one thing), but now we aren't getting the CE for LRFF13 at all.
I'll take what we can get, though, but it's a shame all the same.
But thanks for trying, and I'm glad there was some success for you guys in North America.

@Azuardo: Aw thats some sad news maybe they`ll change their mind? I mean SE said that there was no Collectors edition planned but now we got one for North America.
(Thanks Maz Ioa for your work, I believe that your petition did influence them at least a little bit)
Really hope that they`ll still do one, or at least a limited edition. I don´t understand why there is such a difference between the countries. Why can´t they just release the same thing for everyone
I know that I would only get it if you can buy it on amazon (will get a voucher for it on Christmas) but it would be nice for other people to be able to purchase it at least online in their country. A special edition for only a part of the gamers feels kinda bad. And they should know that this could leave some fans angry.
But there is still some time till February I´ll keep on hoping.

Uh... Why does he say "won’t be a Collector’s Edition for Lightning Returns: FFXIII coming to Europe EITHER."? Perhaps he didn't actually read your post.
Regardless, you may not be able to order the edition with the pocketwatch and the artbook but you could still technically order the Nordic Edition I believe. Pre-ordering the Nordic Edition would net you Cloud's set and all seven Samurai sets (the Nordic edition comes with the Samurai costumes not offered for pre-order bonus by EU stores). That's as close as possible for now.

Ah, the "either" part may be in response to him reading when I said I was disappointed that the FFXHD LE for EU will not contain the OST that is in the US edition. I think the "either" comes from him knowing it's two disappointments in one for me, heh. You'd probably have to read my full post at the site for it to make a bit more sense.
On second thought, it could be the fact that the US is getting a "Limited Edition" for FFXHD, AND a "Collector's Edition." Since Europe is only getting what is being called the "Limited Edition," I believe it makes sense that he says "LR isn't getting a Collector's Edition in Europe either" because FFX technically isn't getting a CE in Europe too—just a LE. Hope that makes sense.
That's something to consider... Would you perhaps have any links to buy this from, as a UK person? I do have LR pre-ordered at the UK's GAME, which comes with a steelbook and Cloud's DLC. Amazon UK has three Samurai DLCs, but I'm content with what's in the GAME order. I doubt I'd spend the cost of importing to get the Samurai DLC, too, but I wouldn't mind having a look at it. Many thanks.

I don't have any links, but I'll get in touch with the person I know who lives in the Nordic territories. My understanding was that it was pretty easy to import the Nordic edition of XIII-2 as long as you were EU-based, since it uses the EU PSN. It's really just a collection of countries Square Enix couldn't be bothered to distribute the game in themselves, so Namco Bandai handles it. If the steelbook and so on is enough for you, I would imagine the NE probably doesn't tickle the fancies either. I'll let you know if I find a good place to grab it from though.
