The ISIN of iShares STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Dist) is DE0002635307. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
iShares STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Dist) (EXSA) charges a total expense ratio of 0.20% a year, about $20 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
Measured against Europe equity (proxy: VGK), EXSA lagged by -0.16% a year — that is the cost you actually bore, versus a headline TER of 0.20%. It trailed by LESS than its stated fee, so securities lending or tax treatment recovered part of the cost. This realised tracking difference is the honest number to compare funds on; the TER alone is not.

iShares STOXX Europe 600 UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Dist) (EXSA) is domiciled in Germany (DE). Domicile decides the treaty rate applied to dividends the fund receives and whether the holding is exposed to US estate tax, so it affects your net return independently of the fund's fees.
