Question:

98 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht if he will give details of the EU directives, regulations and conventions in respect of which his Department has responsibility and which have not been transposed into or made part of Irish law; and the timescale for completion of the work in respect of each instrument. [25114/96]

Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht (Mr. M. Higgins)

One EU directive has not yet been transposed into Irish law, which is Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the conservation of wild fauna and flora. I will sign the necessary regulations under the European Communities Act, 1972, to transpose the directive at the beginning of February.
