Written Answers. - EU Directives.

Liz O'Donnell

Question:

175 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform in regard to the area of his responsibility, the Directives or other measures requiring transposition under EU law which have been adopted by the EU Council or Commission but which have not yet been transposed by Ireland; the Directives or measures requiring transposition where the date for transposition has passed; the Directives or measures or other matters of EU law in respect of which the European Commission has issued a letter to Ireland under Article 169 (Infringement Proceedings) of the EC Treaty; the Directives, measures or matters in respect of which the European Commission has issued a reasoned opinion to Ireland under Article 169; the matters in respect of which proceedings against Ireland are pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union; the matters in respect of which a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union against Ireland has been given but has not been implemented; and the judgments in respect of which proceedings have been initiated under Article 171 (Failure to Implement Judgment) of the EEC Treaty.

The only Directive relating to my area of responsibility which has been adopted and which has not been transposed into Irish law is the Pregnant Workers Directive (92/85/EEC). It was adopted by the European Council on 19 October 1992 and the deadline for its transposition into Irish law is 18 October, 1994.

I expect to be in position to bring forward the relevant legislation in time to enable the specified deadline to be met.
