European model meets judge (6)
I believe the answer is:
esteem
'judge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'european model meets' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'model' indicates anagramming the letters.
'meets' is an anagram of 'steem'.
'e'+'steem'='ESTEEM'
(Other definitions for esteem that I've seen before include "Think well of" , "Admire - honour" , "credit" , "Respect, admire" , "Consider" .)
