On 14 January 2004 the Dutch scientist Bert Jaap Koops, working for the information law department of the University of Tilburg, released an update of his extensive Crypto Law Survey, a unique collection of worldwide resources about cryptography and the law. The new version contains updates about the legal situation of cryptography in 6 European countries:

 - Belgium (current state of Program Act)
 - Italy (radio-amateur law)
 - Lithuania (export and import controls, no domestic law)
 - Netherlands (no TTP law)
 - Spain (new Telecommunications Act)
 - Switzerland (radio-traffic law)
