From the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) today http://easa.eu.int/home/index.html:

" STATEMENT ON THE DASH 8 Q400 ACCIDENT ON 27.10.2007

In regard to the accident of a Dash 8 Q400 aircraft of Scandinavian Airlines at Copenhagen airport on Saturday the European Safety Agency issues the following information:

EASA is very concerned about this most recent Dash 8 Q400 accident and the possible relation with other recent Dash 8 Q400 accidents.

EASA will take all measures to ensure the safety of European passengers and citizens.

The possible cause or causes of this accident are still unknown at the present time. We therefore urge the Danish authorities to inform us immediately of any results from the accident investigation. The Agency offers its assistance in this investigation.

EASA has also called the Canadian authorities and the manufacturer for an immediate crisis meeting to discuss the continued airworthiness of this EASA type-certificate.

In the light of our analysis, we will decide whether to issue a further emergency airworthiness directive or any other appropriate measures for the Dash 8 Q400 aircraft."

Glad someone takes this seriously.
