That first link doesn't seem to work. Try http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:... which gives you access to other languages as well.

If it still doesn't work (maybe it's my computer!), just google on "Council Directive 93/68/EEC of 22 July 1993 amending Directives 87/404/EEC" to take you to the relevant legislation.

Thanks Moira,

The links don't work for me either so will google. In the meantime I've got hold of the relevant English EC standards documents so should be OK now!
