> # on a turnout of 88.6%. This was almost the same result as Norway's previous

> # Referendums in the other three countries voted Yes.)

> # The only [current nonmember using EU rules] I can speak for is Estonia,

> # ...
> # There shouldn't be any [current members who are not using EU rules].
> # A Directive has the force of law, member states are obliged to enact
> # national law to implement it. The only contentious issue was the
> # different end date for the UK and Ireland, and this was always allowed

< # The European Union bureaucracy has edged a step closer to a 7th Directive
< # on summer-time arrangements. I have the text of a Common Position
< # (EC No 9/94) and a statement of the Council's reasons dated 4 March 94,
< # reported in the Official Journal of the EC, No. C 137/38--41....

> # I now have the text of the 7th EC directive on summer time arrangements

> # The major changes from existing practice are that 1995 will be the last year
> # that the UK and Eire finish on a different date from everyone else,
> # and the common end date from 1996 onwards will be the last Sunday in October.
