Sounds like more of the goober nonsense to control everything, and blaming the cause of such, on 'bad guys'. Big Brother..........
All that can be said by me is five minutes after the titanic hit the iceberg the silverware started coming up missing and who could blame them.
If I recall correctly, the 10k GBP limit in UK for antiquities applies only to cash payments, and only to those within "a reasonable short period of time". The stricter regulation would probably lower the prices for some of the high end items, sometimes, but is unlikely to affect an average collector. I suspect it will be a much bigger headache for the dealers/ auction houses, because they will probably have to perform a lot more due diligence, reporting, etc. But no doubt, this is not happy news for the hobby...
