There's a new EU report out on spam -- full text here. In Holland, officials apparently cut spam by 85 percent, via some kind of government body called the OPTA, which the report says has just 5 full-time employees and 570,000 Euros (about $750 K) invested in equipment. The EU says it would like to duplicate that kind of success, and return on investment, throughout Europe. Apparently EU anti-spam regulations exist but many countries haven't put them to use.
