How do I create an AWS RDS Database in Europe

If I can create a database in Europe, I have a lot less to worry about with reagards to data protection. amazon's docs imply that I can create one in Ireland. When I get to the apropriate stage of the wizard though, I only get us-east-1a, us-east-1b and us-east-1c:

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there somewhere else I can select a more general region?

I've just discovered you can select the region from a drop down at the top right of the screen. (I spent ages looking for this before asking here, then moments later I saw it). Hope this helps someone else.
