From time to time, as it makes an- swers, it publishes press releases whic rry the pertinent extracts of such interpretative opinions. It warns, however, that such opinions. which have no legal weight in court and are merely for guidance pur- poses, should not be taken as blan- ket interpretations for all similar cases.
