For Europeans it's a terrible strain to accommodate us (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

austrians

'for europeans' is the definition.
(Austrian is an example)

'a terrible strain to accommodate us' is the wordplay.
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'to accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'strain' with letters rearranged gives 'trians'.
'a'+'trians'='atrians'
'atrians' placed around 'us' is 'AUSTRIANS'.

'it's' acts as a link.

(Another definition for austrians that I've seen is " nationals".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
