    A good place to start would be
    Irish

    and

    It's worth remembering, of course, in any discussion on EU law, that seeing as we have a hand in drafting it, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that were we not in the EU we would probably have legislated for many of these things ourselves.

    true we would have - as we are told many are harmless and good for europe

    which im sure are true - but i have an interest and am checking up for myself but if people want to see it they can ask for a list if i ever get around to doing it... it will be ridiculously massive in fairness

    oh, you'll definitely need 2008... That's when they switched from normal and unspectacular laws to the Fascist Internment Acts. Don't let all the preceding years fool you, 2008 was 99% EU laws.

    Indeed and many good ones may not have been passed resulting in us missing out.
