Strongly suggest you look for a different lighting technology for any
new installations. Downlighters are so bad for general lighting, and
you may well find the EU outlaws the bulbs for them over the next 5
years (certainly the mains ones, and 12V may follow later).

Again , your suggestions for currently availabke suitable replacement
lighting?

Your source for beleiving MR16 will be "outlawed" within 5 years?

I did not see Andy make reference to MR16 in particular. However the
general EU timetable is described at the end of this document:

http://ec.europa.eu/energy/efficiency/ecodesign/doc/committee/2008_12_08_technical_briefing_household_lamps.pdf

Really there is some crap talked about lighting by the half informed.

Alas you need to include the law makers in that category.
