HC Deb 21 May 2002 vol 386 c259W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many EU(a) directives and (b) regulations have been incorporated into UK law in each year since 1997. [57879]

Peter Hain

We estimate that the number of EU directives incorporated into EU law is as follows:

  • 1997: 85;
  • 1998: 109;
  • 1999: 100;
  • 2000: 91; and
  • 2001: 83 (until end November).
It would require a disproportionate cost to compile the number of regulations incorporated over the same period.
