Europe wants end to anonymous Bitcoin transactions

Money-laundering powers seen as crimp on terror funds if virtual currencies offer (unlikely) help

stupid eu .. they are falling out with each other over refrugee crisis ..they are attacking bitcoin for hiding this.. but they wont succeed in this.. bitcoin is unstoppable..

I can't see anything about stopping anonymous transactions, here it is:

......
The plan therefore calls for virtual currency exchange platforms to be brought under the scope of the European Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which would mean exchanges would have to report just who used their services and when they were used. The Action Plan says “The Commission will also examine whether to include virtual currency 'wallet providers'.”
......

Reputable exchanges have KYC anyway and about wallet providers... even if they will be super-over-regulated there would be solutions like bitcoin core etc. So IMO all this changes nothing
