The Commission requires registration, and high visibility paint and lighting for Amateur (and other) antennas and towers more than a certain height above ground level, and coordination with the FAA. Recently, they've required evaluation for RF safety. Authorities probably have like rules in Europe. Outside antennas here in the USA have to comply with the National Electrical Code, and there must likewise be similar standards in Europe.
The FCC didn't exactly regulate antennas for the 57 meter band; they said we had to keep ERP referenced to a dipole at 50 watts PEP or less, and show in our logs how we did that. They left how up to us. One result of the restriction is that, on authorized Military Affiliate frequencies in that range I can use several times higher power than permitted under the Commissions Amateur rules -- with the same antenna(s) and equipment.
