We really need to be looking to what the nations of Europe are doing (as we have been of course, as the crypto laws of Europe have always been interesting to us, even if the machinations of the U.S. get most of the attention, for obvious reasons).
But the latest developments, like the December meeting in Paris and another international meeting advertized for March -96, seem to take place on a Worl Government basis (OECD). Obviously various national governments understand that they can't really act on their own. I don't think the EC will propose any actual laws on their own but together with the US, Canada, Australia and possibly Japan.
