There's an official web site that tells you what national law enacts EC directives - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/index.htm . It that purports to provide access to European law. In my experience, finding anything on it is hellish unless you know the directive number.

I find that the easiest route (for directives) is to find out the directive number somehow (ie google) and use the search by number at http://eur-lex.europa.eu...CH_naturel.do?ihmlang=en . So, the TMCSD is directive 92/57/EEC, so on that web page you want to put in 1992 in the top box and 57 in the bottom box and if you want to know the legislation that enacts it click the 'National execution measures' option. Easy. But only when you know your directive numbers.

The other gotcha is that their database makes horrible web references, but normally there's a 'permanent link' link somewhere on the page that makes it slightly more palatable for purposes of citing in emails, for example.

Highlights are:

Council Directive 89/391/EEC of 12 June 1989 on the introduction of measures to encourage improvements in the safety and health of workers at work:

Sweden has 35 acts enabling the directive we enable with CDM.

And people complain that there is too much red tape / too many regulations in the UK?!
