You can read most about that here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_Book_Price_Agreement
That said, even if the laws of one country mandate it this doesn't necessarily mean that the EU will stand for it indefinitely. And lastly, it's not entirely clear whether the fixed price agreements apply to ebooks as well. The German Book Publisher's Association initially denied that, they only changed their mind in 2008 (if memory serves).
