Thank you, yes I think the overlapping regulations would always be
less than 10, perfectly feasible as a solution, but how to decide when
to show a target page - because we have only one option - or a
selection page - because we have two or more answers?

Hello,
if your number of different regulations at the same time is small, you
could generate all info for these regulations and display them on the
same page in invisible div's or iframe's together with a javascript
powered selection menu for the user.
Surely there are problems with javascript, browser compatibility and so
on, but perhaps it's an idea.
