Correct. The EU Copyright Directive (EUCD) makes the sale of "devices" which remove DRM illegal (eg devices which bypass "Macrovision" copy protection on video tapes or DVDs), but that doesn't apply to software. The EUCD allows a rights holder to apply to the civil courts to take action against someone removing DRM, but it's a "civil" offence, not a criminal one, unlike the DCMA in the US, which imposes specific criminal penalties for DRM removal.
