I propose to take Questions Nos. 399, 400 and 401 together.
Reports under Article 12 of Council Directive 75/442/EEC were submitted to the European Commission in 1982 and 1986 on the basis of questionnaires issued to member states by the Commission.
The reporting requirements under Directive 75/442/EEC were amended by Council Directives 91/156/EEC and 91/692/EEC so that the first report by member states to the Commission under the revised directive covers the period 1995 to 1997 inclusive.
Council Decision 94/741/EC adopted three questionnaires to be used as a basis for sector reports to the Commission in respect of the implementation of Council Directives 75/439/EEC, 75/442/EEC, as amended by Council Directive 91/156/EEC, and 86/278/EEC, during the period 1995 to 1997 inclusive. Ireland has submitted the requisite reports. A copy of the reports referred to above will be made available to the Deputy.
