Rachel,
According to Martek website their oils are in formulas in the UK (Wyeth SMA 
Gold) and in Spain.  Their patent was revoked by the European Patent Office 
following challenges by two potential competitors.  They state in the following 
article that their "sales" in Europe could be affected.

I have a news release from Martek dated Jan 6 1997 that states that Novartis 
has "introduced a preterm infant formula PreAdapta (Sandoz Nutrition) 
containing Martek's oils.  I have another news release dated November 12, 1996 that 
Nutricia based in the Netherlands has introduced its preterm infant formula 
Nenatal, containing Martek oils in Spain.  According to this news release Spain 
represented the 5th European country in which Martek oils are being marketed 
(Netherlands, Belgium, Finland and the UK).  Preterm infant formulas were 
marketed first in Europe and in other countries including Australia, Israel, Spain, 
France and Hong Kong.   Martek has license agreements with many infant formula 
companies around the world.
