In addition under the single European act the entire country of Europe is one export zone for crypto control purposes.

Unfortunately, not yet. The European Commission has proposed amending the Dual-Use regulations to allow the free circulation of crypto products among member states, while extending controls to 'intangible' goods (i.e. Internet downloads). Until then an export license is required. Licenses are granted more readily and with fewer conditions (e.g. permitted end uses) for exports to other EU nations and Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and the US. Amazing the minutiae you have to trawl when co-authoring a paper on crypto export controls ;) Ian.
