Sites penalized for having same texts ?

Is this possible that having similar content (90% the same in some pages) is something bad even when they target different countries ?
Yes, there was a Panda and EMD update around Sep 27 which could have affected your website traffic. Are they EMD? If not, it could be Panda - which focuses on low quality and duplicate content.
Does google send some kind of notification if your site gets penalized ?
No, unless there was a manual review of your website - in which case they would send you a notification via Google Webmaster Tools.
Re-written all the text, in order to show completely different texts, would it help getting back the organic traffic ?
Yup, that's how you recover from Panda (for the most part).
