Crypto Law Survey updated

I have just updated my survey of existing and envisaged cryptography
laws and regulations. See the Crypto Law Survey at
http://cwis.kub.nl/~frw/people/koops/lawsurvy.htm

This update includes:
-new entries on Estonia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Romania, Turkey
     (import/export) and on Argentina, Malaysia, South Korea (domestic) 
-update on European Union (Commission Communication: advises
     export adaptation, wary of key recovery, EU will use encryption
     itself), Belgium (govt proposal), Brazil (import/ use controls
     possible in 1998), France (expected decrees delayed by NL),
     Germany (Kanther chip; no regulation intention), Sweden (Cabinet
     Office report), Turkey (perhaps domestic controls), 
     US (BXA seeks comments; Bernstein hearing scheduled; SAFE
     Act amended/ uncertain future; KMI FIPS meetings; AES candidate
     call) 
-clarification on Poland (import), Singapore, South Africa,
     UK (export) 
-URLs added to EU (KRISIS), France (critique), UK
     (list of responses), US (KMI FIPS, amendment S909) 

Kind regards,
Bert-Jaap

Where did you get the information that: "permit from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs is required for export and for transit through Estonia." ? 
I find it pretty hard to believe, because our company as probably the
leading security software reseller has imported and exported every kind of
crypto software to and from Estonia and done transit through Estonia. Or
could someone point me to the source of the sentence in your crypto law
survey?
