Clause 2.3 of the CEPT Licence says ....

"2.3 When transmitting in a visited country the licence holder must use 
his national call sign preceded by the call sign prefix of the visited 
country as indicated in Appendices II and IV. The call sign prefix and 
the national call sign must be separated by the character "/" 
(telegraphy) or the word "stroke" (telephony). For a mobile amateur 
radio station the national call sign must be followed by the characters 
"/M" (telegraphy) or the word "mobile" (telephony). For a portable 
amateur radio station the national call sign must be followed by the 
characters "/P" (telegraphy) or the word "portable" (telephony)."

I don't see any mention of the word "slash".  That is an Americanism 
like center ;-)
