Is that the only specification needed to have a storage tank built and accepted?
RE: European material in a API650 tank
API-650, tank standard
API-2000, venting standard
NFPA-30, governs siting and spacing of tanks
ASCE 7, gives seismic and wind loading for the US.
ASME B&PV Code, Section IX- Weld qualification
Possibly various building codes or fire codes applicable to the project.
Code of Federal Regulations applicable to the project (available online)
Any state regulations applicable to the project
OSHA rules applicable to the project

The requirements of the API are pretty clear: Vendor shall certify that the material produced and tested according to a national standard meets all the requirements of API 650 Table 4-2. If it is not possible, Vendor shall choose another material among those listed in the API 650 chapter 4.
Alternatively, as JStephen said, the Vendor can provide dual or multiple certification for the material.
Hope this helps!
