Question:

127 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Defence, 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 Judgement) of the EEC Treaty.

In 1989 the Department of Defence received a letter from the European Commission concerning the compatibility of the procedure used for the purchase of two Naval patrol vessels in 1988 with Directive 77/62/EEC — coordinating procedures for the award of public supply contracts. A reasoned opinion in the matter was issued by the Commission in 1991. However, following correspondence the Commission decided not to continue infringement proceedings.
