At least in Poland - according to local law - in order to legally transfer personal data to other EU country (and also to any third party in Poland) we should:
- Have a formal document of registration personal database in the
relevant office of protection of personal data from the owner of piwiki instalation and be ready to show it our Inspector General for the Protection of Personal Data if demanded 2. Have a policy of privacy published and got the agreement of any person we want to use their data (ie. pop-up window or flash banner asking for agreement)
Bear in mind also, that vast majority of people will visit our page attracted by centralnotice banner from Wikimedia projects, so we should also follow WMF privacy regulations...
This shows the legislations difference between different countries. I guess that if you stored the pageviews yourselves, you would still need to register it locally (1) and have the privacy policy (2).
I'm not convinced that the page views count as personal data, though.
You are free not to store the stats, obviously. That way there will be no legal problem at all :)
