I propose to take Questions Nos. 89 and 90 together. The amount of staff time needed to locate and collate the information requested by the Deputy would not be justified. However, I would refer him to the two-volume Directory of Community Legislation in Force and Other Acts of the Community Institutions.
The most recent is the 27th edition, which shows the position as at 1 June 1996. It coversinter alia binding secondary legislation, including regulations, decisions and directives, under the Treaties establishing the European Union and the European Communities, with the exception of day-to-day administrative acts. The directory is updated on a six-monthly basis and a copy is kept at the Oireachtas Library.
