They claimed that it wasn't covered because the machine was brought in Germany. I live in The Netherlands and brought it here. Also I contacted Apple Support to checked my serial number and then gave me the address to take it to. Which I did.
They charged me $100 to get my machine back without repair.
Also bear in mind that the EU is a single market, warranties etc are, by law, required to be honoured over the ENTIRE single market. Not just one country.
Especially when the closest Apple Store to me is IN GERMANY.
I have since returned it to Amazon who will refund it (they're taking their sweet time though, I need to call them next week as they should have transferred already).
