§ Lord Stoddart of Swindonasked Her Majesty's Government:
What steps they have taken, or intend to take, to publish or distribute an authenticated and consolidated version of the core Treaties of the European Community and Union, including the Protocols in force, as they will operate from 1 January 2003, or later, as specified in the Treaty of Nice or other treaty. [HL652]
§ Baroness AmosThe inter-governmental conference did not prepare a consolidated version of the Treaty of Rome, and therefore it was not included in the command paper (Cm 5090) publishing the Treaty of Nice. But we expect the Office for Official Publications of the European Union to publish a version of the consolidated treaties in due course. We will place this in the Libraries of both Houses as soon as it becomes available. Unofficial consolidated versions of the treaties are publicly available.
