Question:

135 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the EC, ECSC or EURATOM directives, wholly or partly under the auspices of his Department, which are not fully implemented; the subject, date and reference number of each; the date on which implementation is or was due; whether the proposed mode of implementation is primary or secondary legislation; when each directive will be implemented; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13229/99]

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the following table.

While every effort is made to implement directives by the due implementation date, the demands on staff and other resources as well as specific legal difficulties have led to delays in certain cases.
