Question:

235 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will supply Deputy Sargent with a list of EC recommendations and regulations relevant to his Department issued during 1991; and the action, if any, taken on them.

I would draw the Deputy's attention to the fact that all Community legislation for 1991 is contained in the Official Journals of the European Communities (Nos. L1-L377) which can be consulted in the Dáil Library. If, following such consultation, the Deputy has a question about the application of any particular measure, I would be happy to provide him with the information.
