You can find a great list of European digital rights groups on the EDRi membership page: http://www.edri.org/about/members -- EDRi itself, the European umbrella group, is in itself a really impressive organization, doing a huge amount of campaigning and advocacy in Brussels.
If you don't get to hear about their victories so much, it's partly because the US digital space is so well- (or maybe even over-) covered compared to similar battles going on elsewhere. But you can thank groups like this for stopping ACTA, software patents in Europe, as well as endless censorship proposals. They're also doing great work campaigning for the privacy rights of non US persons under the NSA revelations.
