It would be great to know if any of the P0 folks are US-based as well. The majority sound European, save Rod :-)
Well, the EU has similar rules but there is no central "FCC". It is called "CE" and the entity (you personally, a distributor, a local operation of a foreign company etc.) importing something has to prove that the rules are ok. For GSM, I think there is even more precise regulation.
Otherwise the tax&duty authorities can ban it from import and request high penalties. It is even harder for patent infringement claims. During CeBIT there are always some unused booths - because the company trying to show a faked iPod or an MP3 player without paying patent licenses was not able to get the devices through customs...
