What you can transfer are "exclusive exploitation rights," which economically behave like the anglo-american Copyright, but it does not contain the "personality rights" of the author.
That's what we call "droits moraux" (moral rights) in France. Maybe Till can tell us if these "personality rights" are common to all countries in Europe. Are there European countries that have no such concept ? It exists in Germany (my guess), in France and ... ?
AFAIK Germany, France, Italy and Portugal have moral rights, even if these differ from country to country. For instance, in Portugal, it's a moral right to withdraw from use or distribution a work for "grave moral reasons" as long as the interested parties are indemnified.
