The government already got to seize private keys when they got search warrants and ceased servers. I'd imagine this is the case in all of Western Europe.

Now they feel they have right to obtain the private keys for you, and impose a gag order, so that you cannot change the compromised key. I doubt that significant amount (if any) of western European countries are able to force you to keep using compromised private key, and keep you silent about this using a gag order.
