VoIP in the EU hasn't been completely sorted centrally (i.e. by the EU
parliament), last time they looked at it a few years ago it wasn't
perceived to be entranched enough to worry about, I suspect this will
change soon.

In the UK Oftel put out a guide, which says if you're running VoIP
services (i.e. back-end services, so maybe a SIP proxy/registration
server or interconnection with the PSTN) you are a Communications
Service Provider and covered by the same regulations as a traditional
voice provider.
