Joe Costello (Dublin Central, Labour)

I move amendment No. 14:

In page 7, subsection (2), line 7, to delete "Communities" and substitute "Union".

The final summation in this section is that "The European Communities Acts 1972 to 2007 and this Act may be cited together as the European Communities Acts 1972 to 2009.". When the Lisbon treaty is passed we will no longer have European Communities Acts but European Union Acts. Therefore that would be a more appropriate citation.
