https://www.startpage.com/ is based in the Netherlands, works really well too in my opinion. I've been using it ever since I started actively avoiding Google.

Edit: One caveat is that it's majorly owned by an American parent company.

My understanding is that this is basically just presenting Google results. Certainly better for privacy but doesn't do much for tech sovereignty.
