Is there a way to know what streams contain changes when you pull them into another stream?
Looking at the EU stream are you able to tell that you're bringing in changes from the UK stream? For example, say there was a defect in the UK stream that got fixed in the UK stream. And now you want to pull that fix into the EU stream. Is there a way to tell you got it fixed in the EU stream from the UK stream?

The change set does not have any information on itself that would tell in which streams the change set is contained. The streams know what change sets they contain. Since there can be any number of streams that could contain a change set, there is also no practical way to store that information either.
Also, you can accept change sets directly from work items, and they don't even need to be contained in any stream for that.
RTC allows you to search a number of streams or workspaces if they contain a specific change set. That way you can tell if a change set is missing on a stream where you want it, for example.

The easiest way to get an overview of where a change set is (how many streams contain the change-set) is to right click the change-set in the work item (in Eclipse client) and select "locate change-set" (don't remember the exact wording). In this new screen, then select (add my workspaces and streams from project). Then you will see which stream has the change and not.
