How to use the EU legislation website
European Union legislation is found on the Eur-Lex website (this opens in a new tab) and all the links to EU legislation on www.fsai.ie point to the specific pages on the Eur-Lex website.
On the left-hand side of the Eur-Lex website, there is a menu showing the initial legal act and any subsequent amendments. By default, the initial legal act will be presented on www.fsai.ie. If you require an up-to-date version of the legislation (search for Current consolidated version), you should select the most recent consolidated version of the legislation which is shown by the date. In this example below, the initial legal act is shown but the most recent amendment was in 2009.
