This Web site, now in its 17th edition (Feb. 2000), is similar in format to the GILC/EPIC Survey, but provides more comprehensive coverage of regulatory schemes in some of the covered nations and more links to source documents. It appears to be compiled from data that is independent of data used to compile the GILC/EPIC Survey. Covered nations include Columbia, France, Hong Kong, Hungary, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. However, Taiwan and Thailand are not covered.
