What does (fr) BU next to the 1 cent EURO Spain coin stand for in the catalogue?

​No idea. I've always thought it was for "French", and always thought it was weird. :P

It means on the French equivalent page there is a comment, which is not on the English page.
Also the other way round if there is something on the English page but not on the French they would see (en) on there alongside whatever the comment is, such as BU or anything.
I think BU is a grade like Brilliant Uncirculated. Yes, just seen this ...

and it is Brilliant Universel grade. There is also BE on there which is Belle Épreuve grade.

French https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/pieces81.html
Here is an example of a French page with (en) on it, saying Proof grade ...
