I don't think our legislation actually has to be forwarded to the EU (which didn't exist in 1986, fact fans) to have binding effect in law in the UK.
Edit: yes, so it seems: it's the classification system which had to be notified to the EEC, not the existence of the actual legislation itself.
yeah, almost every news outlet got this wrong when reporting it
which is pretty funny given the 'oops, what a blunder!!' tone of the thing

To be honest, whenever you read a news story that features anything to do with the EU, 95% of the time it's going to be wrong in some way, rising to 100% wrongness if the story mentions "barmy bureaucrats in Brussels" (or similar).
