As an “authorised body”, the Commission may apply to the Circuit Court or the High Court for a declaration or an injunction for the purposes of enforcing the Regulations. 1 OJ No. L. 95, 21.4.1993, p.29 Privacy Statement Accessibility European Legislation Identifier (PDF) Open Data License Ráiteas Príobháideachais Inrochtaineacht Aitheantóir Eorpach Reachtaíochta (ELI) Ceadúnas Sonraí Oscailte Liosta Fianán © Government of Ireland.
