They whom? Is every country going to have it's own national firewall, complete with highly sophisticated SMS-only encryption detecting service?

The EU plans to do so and as such every member must follow it.

And once encryption is criminalized, it can be trivially detected - or at least assumed to be encrypted if your message is sufficiently random.
