No, they are not.One of them, that being the one for Vatican City, is 14. 13, which is Spain is lower than 14.
No country in Europe has a 12 year old age of consent and QI was, as I like to call it, wrong.

Well...that well known area of accuracy Wikipedia says you're right, but the only official list of consent laws I could find says your wrong and QI is right, so, I dunno.
Wiki mind says 'The age of consent in Italy is 14 years, with a close-in-age exception that allows those aged 13 to engage in sexual activity with partners who are less than 3 years older.'
I'm glad it had the 'er'...

Hahaha!I like lower consent ages when accompanied by close age clauses (and I am far too old to 'benefit', I just think it is more sensible (and I have three daughters)).

your edited in link is wrong.The last time the Vatican made a law it was indeed 12 (many, many years ago) but they switched to being in line with Italy a long, long time ago as well and the age of consent there is now 14, regardless of what QI or your bad link says. It is possible to have sex at 13 in VC with permission from parents and if the partner is under 16, but I understand it never happens.
