English translation:low levels of cutomer loyalty
Explanation:
Following on from Marian's answer.

The problem with 'lack of...' is that it's preceded by high levels; high levels of lack of customer loyalty?? No.

So I would suggest: Despite low levels of customer loyalty common in Europe...

This would also contrast nicely with the 'high levels' later in the sentence.

neutral  Steven Capsuto: It exists but is not widely used, probably because "infidelity" is so linked in English to marital and sexual infidelity that it conjures up an image of customers who cheat on their spouses. Google turned up only 11 uses of this phrase.

disagree  António Ribeiro: Porquê dizer "lack of fidelity" quando se pode dizer "infidelity"? As referências que apresenta são todas para "customer fidelity" e não para "lack of customer fidelity".
