Corn syrup is not available in common shops. Cooks and other food professionals can get some through specialized channels, but for some reason in Europe we use saccharose obtained from beets instead of processing corn starch to make glucose. I have seen fructose syrup disguised as honey (there's even a piece of plastic honey comb in the bottle), but no glucose. On the other hand, maple syrup is easily available and quite common for pouring over pancakes.
We're more likely to find corn syrup of one kind or another than to find maple syrup at most supermarkets here. North America has a lot of corn products probably because of monopolies or something like that.
Fake honey. Now that's funny.
Corn syrup is much cheaper than beet sugar (most common in Europe I guess) or cane sugar (which is however quite cheap when produced by near-slaves in Central America). What I can't find an answer to is why corn syrup is unused in home cooking in Europe (while the industry uses it very much). I suppose corn wasn't commonly grown in Europe at the time when corn syrup started to be used in North America, and Europeans didn't get used to using it. But these are only guesses.

"Exotic" only being American ;)
Do you have pancake syrup there at all? That's usually flavoured corn syrup. Oh yeah people don't eat pancakes with syrup there. I'd help you out but the stuff usually comes in plastic bottles which would be difficult to ship :p
