With you being on top of the oil changes and using high quality oils, it is nothing to worry about.
The Dino oil that I use, used to have the ACEA A3/B3 rating on the bottle but doesn't anymore. It is still the same oil though with the same American rating.
I wouldn't be surprised if the ACEA rating has to be renewed every year for lots of money and they just don't feel like paying the yearly fee for some oils.
After all, ACEA is a European rating system with a very French sounding name (Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles) and we know what US feels about following Euro rules when they have their own rating system API (The American Petroleum Institute).
