After our friendly neighbourhood math guy calculated that with 10 digits, there are 7.5 billion numbers, I don't see the reason why europe has country codes. I suppose it could have been a territorial thing from the past that is too counterproductive to remove.
I'm just glad that all we'll have to ever dial is 10 digits within north america.

ok, so I dial Paris to Roma
I dial 011-then 10 digits = 13
Now I want to dial Houston, from Calgary
I dial 1-then 10 digits (area code + 7) = 11
Its the same amount of digits, its just that we dont have to dial the 2 zeros in front of the 1 in our country code.
Theoretically its still just dialing the 3 digit country code then 7 digit ph. number
