Where the instruments stand

An instrument appears on this board once its text has been read in the Official Journal. One that nobody has read yet is absent rather than listed with a guess.

Each row names the instrument in full, because a short title cannot be checked against the Official Journal and a full title can. The state is written out beside the colour, so the colour never carries the meaning on its own.

What the board does not yet carry

The implementing acts and the Commission guidance made under the regulation are being read one by one, and each one joins the board on the day its text has been read rather than on the day it is reported. The dates of application that the regulation sets out in its own final articles are published here once the consolidated text has been read through to those articles, because a date taken from a database field is not a date read in the law.
