EU: “Great Firewall of Europe”: Council of the European Union: Creation of a "virtual Schengen border" and "EU black-list": see Doc no 7181/11 (pdf) which says:

"The Presidency of the LEWP [Law Enforcement Working Party and the Customs Cooperation Working Party] presented its intention to propose concrete measures towards creating a single secure European cyberspace with a certain "virtual Schengen border" and "virtual access points" whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU "black-list".
