Dear George, Brian & colleagues
The Manchester Evening News has exposed this as a scam; several tourists who have visited or own timeshares in Gran Canaria are being targeted by conmen. See article below:
http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/news/s/121/121969_fines_scam_by_costa_conmen.html
Hope this helps!

Hi George,

I had the same question recently and after much fruitless research I
contacted the Commission's London information office. They said that the
only way to find out was to contact the Brussels official (or at least the
relevant department of the D-G) responsible for a given piece of
legislation. Far from ideal!

In addition to all the other replies received, this is not directly on point
but related information.
First, it is assumed that the acquis is in force - and companies/individuals
can abide by it - even if a member state may not have implemented fully or
in part.
Regulations are directly enforcing and do not require action on the part of
the member states to implement them.
Decisions are directly binding on those to whom they are addressed - no
member state action required.
Changes required in EU legislation comprise the bulk of the accession treaty
- i.e. the addition of competent national authorities, terminology in the
language of the new member states, etc. At some point, these will be
traceable using CELEX - Eur-Lex - and the new portal to be unveiled on July
1. Under each piece of legislation, the "more info" or "biblio" sections
should provide a link to the precise provision in the 2003 accession treaty
relating to and amending that legislation. This would be particularly
important for regulations as mentioned above. Second, the national
implementing measures file - now in CELEX only - should include information
for the new members. It is a question of time and money to incorporate all
the information for the new members not to mention the work overload of
publishing in 20 languages.
Some of the new member states have the information on their government
websites.

Subject: Implementing legislation in new countries.
I have had two enquiries from people who are trying to find out whether EU
legislation has actually been implemented in some of the new EU countries
and, if so, how to find what the implementing legislation is.
To quote from one enquiry - "Is there any relatively quick way in which one
can check whether an item of the acqis has already been implemented or is
already in force in a particular new member state?"
This enquirer has already done a great deal of research himself, and has
found that the Scadplus and the Commission's enlargement websites are not
sufficiently up to date to be really helpful.
Any ideas, anyone?
Many thanks as always.

The first document has a strange number and would appear to be an =

I will send you a copy of the second document by separate e-mail.
