Yes , here in the Netherlands it`s called PMR.
8 channels between 446.06875 and 446.09375
446.00625
446.03125
446.05625
446.08125
446.01875
446.04375
446.06875
446.09375
Only handhelds with a max power  500mWatt EMR.

Some HAM`s use them in the family , hobby intrested people
tend to use LPD equipment beacause they can contact the HAM`s ,
and PMR`s are not in the 70 cm band.
