wall board
I am not aware of a standard term used throughout the EU, or even in Britain! I have seen it referred to as wall board, gypsum board, and even by trade name - Gyproc.

: That is the generic name of the gypsum board, plasterboard, wallboard, and the trade names are Sheetrock, Gyprock, Rigips.
