I hope here are some glider pilots from EU.

I'm interested in getting some knowledge about how different countries in EU
have applied following regulation to gliders and how have glider clubs have
solved that.

Regulation:
http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/pri/en/...en00010006.pdf

I'm also interested in getting some hints about the tarifs if anyone
actually buys this third-party insurance for gliders. Insuring a single
place glider against hijacking seems at least a bit funny to me. Thus far
no-one has been able to explain me how to hijack Jantar Std or LS-4.

Our Jantar pilot is flying in wonderful conditions, enjoying the flight,
when his happiness is shattered by a call on the radio:

Hijacker: "Mr. Pilot, we are holding your wife hostage until you fly the
glider to the airport in Raininghardistan"
Pilot: "I don't believe you - put my wife on the radio!"
Wife: "I don't believe them either. I think this is just a clever ploy
by you to get me to retrieve you from some god-forsaken hellhole of an
airport in a tiny country I never heard of!"
Pilot: "No my dear! They are really hijackers! I am on my way to
Raininghardistan!"

An hour later...

Hijacker: "Mr. Pilot, you can turn around if you wish. Your wife has
decided to join our cause, as it is more interesting than being a glider
pilot's wife. Indeed, we are two wild and crazy guys, and we think she
is one hot babe, too!"
Pilot: "Oh my dear wife, please be sure to lock the trailer and put the
car keys under the floor mat before you leave, in case I don't make it
back and someone has to retrieve me!"

An hour later...

Wife: "Don't worry, Pilot dear, I have dispatched the hijackers with my
#14 knitting needle and the sewing scissors. All they wanted to do was
hang around airports anyway, so not really an improvement."
Pilot: "Bummer, my sweetkins." (to himself: "Perhaps I should take her
out to dinner tonight, as she may be too upset to cook").
