One of the dealers on my old dealer-to-dealer network just posted this:
"Apropos of nothing, I had a customer in yesterday
who was back visiting his family in Italy the
other week, and they made a trip to Austria where
they do their banking, and it's true - in
Austria purchases of gold bullion by the public
is now limited by law to something like $10K
worth. This new policy is fallout from the
European crisis, I suppose. Nonetheless,
a very frightening gov't action to be happening
in the supposed free world."

only thing concrete is that France can impose limits or ban purchases by decree, that was "back" in late July.
