Separate from the amendment, is the Minister of State actually suggesting that there could be a guideline that would not comply with these very clear legal obligations under EU law? Clearly, one guideline might not be relevant to all that is listed, but any guideline that is relevant to any of those directives surely has to comply with them. The Minister of State might have been a little bit over enthusiastic in his rebuttal of the amendment.
