Written Answers. - EU Instruments.

Ivor Callely

Question:

278 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for the Marine 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. [25124/96]

The EU Directives for which my Department is responsible, and which have not yet been transposed, are set out in the following table:

Table

Reference Number of Directive

Subject matter

1. 89/662/EEC

Veterinary checks on live bivalve molluscs and fishery products in intra-Community trade.

2. 90/425/EEC

Veterinary and zootechnical checks in intra-Community trade in certain live animals and products.

3. 90/675/EEC

Veterinary checks on live bivalve mollusc and fishery products entering the Community from third countries.

4. 91/496/EEC

Checks applicable in intraCommunity trade in certain fish and fishery products.

5. 91/628/EEC

Protection of animals during transport and amendment of Directives 90/425/EEC and 91/496/EEC.

6. 92/29/EEC

Minimum safety and health requirements for improved medical treatment on board vessels.

7. 94/25/EEC

Approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the member states relating to recreational craft.

8. 94/57/EEC

Common rules and standards for ship inspection and survey organisations and for the relevant activities of maritime administrations.

9. 94/58/EEC

Minimal level of training for seafarers.

10. 95/21/EEC

The enforcement, in respect of shipping using Community ports and sailing in the waters under the jurisdiction of the member states, of international standards for ship safety, pollution prevention and shipboard living and working conditions (port State control).

11. 95/22/EEC

Animal health conditions governing the placing on the market of aquaculture animals and products.

It is my intention to have all of these directives formally transposed into Irish law as soon as possible.
EU regulations, when they come into force, form part of Irish law without any need for transposition.
It is not clear what the Deputy has in mind in referring to EU conditions.
