No. If it's not ECE, then it's not legal. And (If I recall) You can't buy and ECE helmet in the sates and have it be legal in Europe unless the dealer you buy it from is an ECE authorized importer.
I don't think ECE allows half shells, just open face or 3/4. I could be wrong though. ECE testing does have an open face requirement but I think the shell has to cover your ears, bringing you to the 3/4 helmets, well they are more like 5/8 helmets over there.
Like this MOMO (which I kinda like):

But I'm just some schmuck from the states, there's enough of those guys from across the pond around here to answer this better than I can.
