Just announced today, the bitcoin exchange Bitstamp has said they have been granted a license by the Luxembourg government to be a fully regulated and licensed exchange in the EU. In a statement made by the exchange, they said that they went through a rigorous application process with the Luxembourg financial regulator, the Luxembourg Financial Industry Supervisory Commission (known as CSSF) which spanned nearly two years, and included security reviews in addition to an audit by Ernst & Young Luxembourg. Bitstamp’s license is passportable into the 28 EU member states providing all European customers with a robust, secure platform for bitcoin trading.

They already did KYC and this will only be scrutinized more when dealing with Bitstamp. For those that don't mind KYC this is just a net positive. For those that don't like it, you can still (and will always be able to) trade person-to-person, using local trading platforms.
