Vol. 441 No. 5

Written Answers. - Transposition of EU Directives.

Liz O'Donnell

Question:

108 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment, 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 matter 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 Judgement) of the EEC Treaty.

There are 37 EU Council or Commission Directives in my Department's areas of responsibility which at this point require transposition into Irish law. Of these, 20 are Directives where the date for transposition has passed. The Commission has issued Article 169 letters in the case of ten of these while a Reasoned Opinion has been received on one case. There are no Directives in respect of which proceedings are pending before the Court nor indeed where there are either unimplemented Court judgments or ones where proceedings have been initiated for failure to implement such judgments.

The situation and the Directives in question are as follows:
