It's a bit stronger (which wouldn't be hard)
Basically EU law differentiates between individuals and business.
If you are a business user the spammer can send you an email, but they must stop once you tell them to.
If you are a personal user they have no right to spam you
If there is an existing business relationship then companies can email you with information related to the business relationship.
So, for example, we can email clients about anything to do with hosting and domains, but if we were to start a new business selling coffee we couldn't use the mailing list to promote it. (Not the best example, but I hope you get the general idea)
